Carsa 24W LED Downlight - White

The Carsa is a round LED downlight that draws 24W from a 220-240V AC mains supply and gives out 1680 lumens of neutral white 4000K light. A wide 110 degree beam angle spreads the output evenly rather than pooling it in a tight spot, so the light feels broad and consistent across the area below. The integrated LED array runs at 70 lm/W with an Ra 80 colour rendering, giving natural tones across walls, worktops and furnishings. North American buyers will recognise this format as a recessed can light, sitting flush within the ceiling line with only the white trim on show.

The neutral 4000K tone suits working and circulation spaces such as kitchens, utility rooms, hallways and landings, where a crisp light helps with everyday tasks. At general lighting levels the 1680 lumen output covers around 6 m², so a single unit handles a compact room while several spaced across a larger ceiling build up steady ambient light. The Ø300 mm body suits standard ceiling heights and works well in rooms where an even wash is wanted rather than directional accents. Because it carries an IP20 rating, the Carsa is for dry indoor positions only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed location.

Built from aluminium alloy with a white finish, the 35 mm deep body keeps the profile low once fitted to the ceiling. The fitting is ceiling mounted and weighs 742 g, with the LED engine integrated rather than relying on a replaceable lamp. It is not dimmable, so it runs at full output on a standard switched circuit, and the array is rated for 15,000 hours. The white trim blends into a painted ceiling and pairs cleanly with other Carsa downlights elsewhere in the range.

Is the Carsa downlight dimmable?

No, this version is not dimmable and runs at full output on a standard switched circuit. It should be wired to a normal on/off switch rather than a dimmer module. If dimming is needed, choose a dimmable model and a compatible dimmer.

What size cut-out hole does it need?

The Carsa has an overall trim diameter of Ø300 mm, which sits flush against the ceiling. The cut-out, meaning the hole the body drops into, is the recessed aperture and is smaller than the trim diameter. Check the supplied template before cutting so the trim covers the opening neatly.

How many will I need for a room?

At general lighting levels each unit covers around 6 m², so one suits a small room such as a utility area. For a larger kitchen or open space, fit several spaced evenly across the ceiling to build up steady, even light. The 110 degree beam helps avoid dark gaps between fittings.

How do I clean the downlight?

Switch off the power and let the fitting cool, then wipe the white trim and diffuser with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive pads, which can mark the finish. A light wipe now and then keeps the output bright and the trim looking clean.
