Description
The Barranco is a set of five round recessed downlights, each a white plastic frame 9cm across with a neat flat rim and an inner ring that holds the bulb. Every downlight takes a GU10 bulb at up to 5W, and the bulbs are not included, so you choose the colour of light and the brightness that suit the room. The IP rating is IP20, which settles where they belong: indoors, in dry rooms, away from steam and splashing water.
Five matching downlights are a practical number for lighting a hallway, a landing, a bedroom or a living room ceiling in an even pattern, and buying them together means every frame looks the same. White blends into a white ceiling, so the eye goes to the light rather than the fitting. Each one needs only 2.5cm of recess depth, which makes them a good choice where there is little room behind the ceiling board, and each sits in a 6.8cm cut-out.
Spring clips on either side of each frame grip the ceiling board and hold the downlight in place. There is no switch on the downlights themselves, so they run from your wall switch, on a mains supply of 220-240V at 50/60Hz. As a wired-in mains light, the set is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a PDF download. The whole set weighs 0.405KG packed. A soft dry cloth keeps the white rims clean. Pick up your GU10 bulbs at the same time, 5W or less each, and the set is ready to light from the first evening.

Frequently Asked
Can these downlights go in a bathroom?
No. They are rated IP20, which means indoors and dry only, so we suggest them for hallways, landings, bedrooms and living rooms rather than anywhere near water.
What size hole does each downlight need?
Each downlight sits in a 6.8cm cut-out and needs 2.5cm of recess depth, while the white rim is 9cm across.
Which bulb does each downlight take?
Each one takes a GU10 bulb at up to 5W. The bulbs are not included, so you can choose the colour of light and brightness you prefer.
Is there a switch on the downlights?
No, there is no switch on the downlights themselves. They are switched at the wall, from your usual light switch.
What material is the frame?
Each frame is white plastic, which keeps the set light at 0.405KG packed for all five, and the white blends into a white ceiling.
How many downlights come in the set?
There are five downlights in the set, all in the same white finish, so a whole ceiling or hallway matches from one end to the other.
