Description
Our Barranco downlight comes as a set of three round recessed lights in a black finish, each with a plastic body measuring 8.4cm in diameter. Each light takes a GU10 bulb, runs at 4.5W and gives 345lm, so the three together spread an even, useful light over a ceiling instead of throwing it from one central point. The IP44 rating means each downlight is protected from splashing water, which opens up the steamier rooms of the house as well as the dry ones.
A bathroom is the obvious home for them: set into the ceiling over a basin or a mirror, they light the space evenly, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone. They suit kitchens, hallways and landings just as well, anywhere a flush ceiling light keeps the room clear and uncluttered. Because the black finish stands out against a white ceiling, the downlights read as a deliberate detail rather than disappearing into the ceiling, and they sit well alongside black taps, rails and frames. With three in the set, you can cover a small room or place them in a line along a wall.
Each downlight has a black plastic body and spring clips that hold it in place once it is pushed into the ceiling. Fitting one needs a hole 6.8cm across and a recess depth of 8.5cm, so it is worth checking the space in the ceiling void before you order. The lights run on mains power at 220-240V and have no switch of their own; they are switched at the wall, and a qualified electrician should install them. The installation instructions come as a download, and the packed set weighs 0.49KG. Measure the ceiling space first and the rest is straightforward.
