Description

Sand black gives this one a quiet, near invisible finish: a plain circular bezel, a shallow body behind it, and no bright metal anywhere on the visible face. The inner section swivels, so the beam can be tipped away from vertical and aimed at a wall, a worktop or a run of shelving. It takes a single GU10 lamp of up to 50W, with the lampholder supplied, and the cut-out is 80mm.

We reach for trims this small where a ceiling is already busy, or where a wider bezel would look heavy: hallways, landings, alcoves, shallow kitchen ceilings and the awkward corners of a loft conversion. The tilt is the reason to choose it over a fixed downlight. Set several in a line and each can be turned on its own, grazing a stone chimney breast or lifting a picture off the wall while the rest light the floor. It is for dry rooms indoors, well away from steam and spray. Dimming depends entirely on the lamp, since none is built in here, so we would pair it with a dimmable LED reflector lamp and a switch rated for it.

The visible rim is finished in sand black right to the edge, which holds its own against both white plaster and a darker ceiling. Keep it clean by switching off at the wall, letting the lamp cool, then working a dry cloth around the rim; matt black shows dust sooner than pale finishes, and polishes and solvents will spoil it. It carries a one year warranty. The same round trim is one we stock in aluminium, matt white and satin nickel, and there is a square version in this sand black if you want a sharper outline against the ceiling. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked

How far can the head be angled?

The inner ring swivels within the bezel, so the beam can be aimed off centre rather than only straight down. That makes it useful for washing a wall, picking out artwork or throwing light onto a worktop.

What size hole does it need, and how big is the trim?

The cut-out is 80mm and the outer diameter is 92mm, so the bezel covers the opening with a slim margin. Overall height is 24mm.

Which lamp should I use?

A GU10 LED with a 50mm reflector suits it best, up to a maximum of 50W. The lampholder comes with the fitting; the lamp itself is bought separately.

Can I dim it?

Yes, provided the lamp you fit is a dimmable one and the dimmer switch is compatible with it. No dimmer is supplied with the downlight.

Is it suitable for a bathroom or a shower area?

No. This one is intended for dry indoor rooms, so keep it out of zones where it could meet steam or water spray.

How do I keep the black finish looking right?

A dry cloth around the rim, with the power off and the lamp cold, is all it needs. Avoid cream cleaners, polishes and solvents, which will mark the finish.
