Beno Ø220 12-18W LED Ceiling Light PIR Colour Selectable IP65 - Anthracite

The Beno is a round LED ceiling light with a built-in PIR motion sensor, running on 220 to 240V AC and switchable between 12W and 18W to suit the space. Light output reaches up to 1740 lm, and the colour temperature is selectable across 3000K, 3500K and 4000K so the tone can be set from a warmer to a more neutral white. A wide 110 degree beam spreads light evenly from the compact Ø220 mm body, which can be mounted to a wall or a ceiling. American buyers shopping for a flush mount LED ceiling light with automatic detection will find this fills that role outdoors as well as in.

The sensor and weatherproof build make the Beno well suited to porches, entrance canopies, covered walkways, garages and utility areas where hands-free lighting is useful. At the 18W setting it covers around 5 to 6 m² at general lighting levels, which fits a porch ceiling, a small landing or a compact outbuilding without over-lighting it. The motion detection means it switches on as someone approaches and off again after they leave, so it earns its place on stairwells, communal hallways and external doorways. The wide beam keeps the light soft across the area rather than throwing a tight pool, which helps in low to standard ceiling heights.

The body is moulded in polycarbonate with an anthracite finish and carries an IP65 rating, so it withstands rain, dust and direct washing in exposed outdoor and wet locations, backed by IK03 impact resistance. The integrated LED is rated for 50,000 hours and is not replaceable as a separate bulb, so the whole fitting is the light source. It is not a dimmable model, with brightness instead set by the 12W or 18W selection. At 628 g it mounts easily to either wall or ceiling. The Beno range includes further sensor and standard versions for matching across a property.

Can the Beno be used outdoors?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, so it is weatherproof and suitable for exposed outdoor and wet locations such as porches, entrances and covered walkways. The polycarbonate body also resists dust and direct rain.

How does the PIR sensor work and can the timing be set?

The built-in PIR detects movement within its range and switches the light on automatically, then off again after a set delay once motion stops. This makes it practical for doorways, garages and communal areas where hands-free operation is wanted.

How large an area does it light, and is it bright enough?

Output reaches up to 1740 lm, which covers around 5 to 6 m² at general lighting levels at the 18W setting. That suits a porch, small landing or compact outbuilding, with a wide 110 degree beam spreading the light evenly.

How should the fitting be cleaned?

Wipe the polycarbonate diffuser with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents, which can mark the surface, and switch the fitting off at the mains before cleaning.
