BENO Ø220 12-18W Round Wattage Selectable IP65 Ceiling Light - Anthracite

The Beno is a round LED ceiling light with a selectable output of 12W or 18W, drawing up to 1740 lumens at the higher setting from a 220 to 240V AC supply. Wired direct to mains, it gives a flush, integrated source with no replaceable bulb to fit. Its colour temperature is switchable across 3000K, 3500K and 4000K, moving from a warm domestic tone through to a brighter neutral white, while the wide 110 degree beam spreads light evenly across the surface below rather than throwing a tight pool. Searched in the US as a flush mount LED ceiling light, it suits anyone wanting a low-profile fitting that sits close to the surface.

At full output the Beno covers around 5 to 6 m² at general lighting levels, which makes it a sensible single fitting for a porch, a covered entrance, a small utility area, a hallway or a compact bathroom. Because it is rated IP65 it copes with exposed outdoor and wet locations, so it works on a soffit, an external wall or an open balcony as readily as it does indoors. For larger rooms or longer covered walkways, plan two or more units spaced along the run to keep the light level consistent. The shallow 57mm depth keeps it unobtrusive on lower ceilings where a deeper fitting would feel bulky.

The body is moulded polycarbonate in an anthracite finish, a hard-wearing combination that resists impact and weather while staying light at 616g. The IP65 seal keeps moisture and dust out, and the fitting can be either wall mounted or ceiling mounted to suit the location. It is not dimmable, running at a fixed level for the wattage you select, and the integrated LED is rated for 50,000 hours with a Ra 80 colour rendering. The Beno range includes further round fittings in matching anthracite for projects that need a consistent look across several positions.

What size room or area does it light?

At its 18W setting the Beno puts out up to 1740 lumens, enough to cover roughly 5 to 6 m² at general lighting levels. That makes it well suited to a porch, small hallway, utility room or compact bathroom as a single fitting. For larger spaces, use two or more units spaced across the area.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. The Beno is rated IP65, which means it is sealed against dust and water jets and is suitable for exposed outdoor and wet locations. It is at home on an external wall, a soffit or a covered entrance, as well as indoors in damp areas such as bathrooms.

Is it dimmable?

No, the Beno is not dimmable. It runs at a fixed level for whichever wattage you select, so it should be wired to a standard switch rather than a dimmer. You can still choose between a 12W or 18W output and three colour temperatures.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the polycarbonate cover with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents, which can dull the surface. Always switch off the supply before cleaning a wall or ceiling mounted fitting.
