Centara CCT LED Flush Ceiling Light With Remote Control - Chrome 380mm

The Centara is a 380mm diameter flush ceiling light with an integrated 18W LED and tuneable white colour temperature control via remote. A polished chrome circular frame surrounds a crystalline textured acrylic diffuser, which catches and scatters the 1680lm light output evenly across the ceiling plane. The 50mm projection makes it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights below 2.4m where pendant or semi-flush fittings would encroach on headroom.

Designed for bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms (check IP rating), home offices and kitchens where ambient ceiling light is needed without visual clutter, the Centara provides both functional and decorative value. The remote control allows brightness dimming and shifts the colour temperature between 3000K warm white and 6500K daylight white, letting users match the light tone to time of day or task type. The chrome frame reflects surrounding tones, so it reads as warm or cool depending on adjacent wall colours and natural light.

The crystalline texture on the diffuser panel is finely faceted, breaking the flat plane into tiny light-scattering surfaces that add visual interest when the fitting is off and soften glare when it is on. The chrome finish is polished to a mirror surface, creating a crisp boundary between the frame and the diffuser. At 1.5kg the fitting mounts to a standard UK ceiling rose using the supplied bracket, and the remote operates from up to several metres away without line-of-sight requirements.

The shallow 50mm height keeps the fitting close to the ceiling plane, avoiding the drop of a semi-flush and the visual weight of a pendant. This makes it particularly useful in period properties with low ceilings, loft conversions, and en-suite bathrooms where a compact ceiling-mounted light source is needed. The tuneable white function is increasingly common in modern LED fittings and allows the same fixture to provide cool task lighting during the day and warmer relaxation lighting in the evening.

What does tuneable white mean?

Tuneable white allows you to adjust the colour temperature of the light using the remote control, from 3000K warm white (similar to incandescent bulbs) to 6500K daylight white (similar to overcast daylight). This changes the tone of the light without changing its brightness, letting you match the light to the time of day or task.

Is it suitable for low ceilings?

Yes. The 50mm projection from the ceiling makes it one of the shallowest flush fittings available, suitable for rooms with ceiling heights of 2.2m or lower where pendant or semi-flush fittings would intrude on headroom.

Can it be used in bathrooms?

Check the IP rating before installing in a bathroom. The specification table does not list an IP rating, so unless confirmed by Mantra this fitting is intended for dry indoor locations only.

Does the remote require line of sight?

No. The remote operates via RF (radio frequency) rather than infrared, so it does not require direct line of sight to the fitting and will work through walls and ceilings within its operating range.
