Description
Small, quiet and neat, this is a recessed downlight that gives light without asking to be looked at. The visible face measures 50mm across, and a frosted lens sits over the LED so the source is softened rather than bare. Inside is a 7W integrated LED at 3000K, a warm white close to the tone of an old-fashioned household bulb rather than anything cold. The spread is wide, so it lights a room broadly instead of punching a narrow pool onto the floor. It does not dim, so it belongs on a plain switch.
We reach for these where the ceiling is shallow and a full-size downlight would look bulky: hallways, landings, alcoves, the run above a worktop or a shelf of books. The fitting is sealed against splashing, which brings cloakrooms, bathrooms and covered porches within reach as well. Warm light of this sort suits bedrooms and sitting rooms, where several small points of light do more for a room than a bright glare overhead. The driver is supplied with it, so nothing else needs sourcing.
The housing is finished in a plain white that disappears into a painted ceiling, and the frosted face keeps the appearance even when lit. Nothing about it shouts, which is rather the point in a room already busy with pattern. For cleaning, switch off at the wall and let it cool, then pass a soft cloth over the face; skip solvents and scouring creams, which will haze the lens. It carries a three year warranty. We stock the same downlight in a warmer and a cooler white, so a whole house can be kept consistent or deliberately varied room by room. The LED is integral, so there is no lamp to buy.

Frequently Asked
How much light does it give?
Around 660 lumens from its 7W LED, which is ample for a hallway, a small bathroom or as one of several points in a larger room.
What aperture does it need?
The cut-out is 35mm, with a 50mm face and an overall depth of 108mm behind it.
Can it be dimmed?
No. It runs at full output only, so it should be wired to a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
It is rated IP44 against splashing, so it is at home in bathrooms, shower rooms and cloakrooms, as well as under a covered porch.
What colour is the light?
3000K warm white, a soft yellow-toned light. The same downlight is also offered at 2700K for something warmer and 4000K for something crisper.
How long should the LED last?
It is rated at 30,000 hours of average life, and the driver needed to run it is included.
