Description
The Clarion is a 3W recessed LED downlight with a 28mm diameter black metal trim ring and an integrated 3000K LED behind a white diffuser lens. The CRI90 rating means the LED renders colours more accurately than standard CRI80 LEDs, making it suitable for rooms where colour matching matters — kitchens, wardrobes, art display walls, retail fitting rooms.
Designed for residential and light commercial use, the Clarion fits into standard downlight cut-outs in plasterboard or suspended ceilings with minimal visible trim, keeping the ceiling plane clean. The 28mm outer diameter makes it one of the smallest fixed recessed downlights available, useful in joisted ceilings where space between timbers is limited. The IP20 rating restricts it to dry indoor rooms — bedrooms, hallways, living rooms, offices — but not bathrooms or wet zones.
The integrated LED is non-dimmable and fixed at 3000K warm white, giving consistent output across multiple fittings without lamp-to-lamp colour variation. The matt black finish on the trim ring suits dark ceilings, industrial interiors and rooms where the ceiling colour is being used as a design feature rather than hidden. At 3W per fitting the Clarion draws approximately 80% less power than a 15W halogen downlight while providing comparable directed light output.

Frequently Asked
Is the Clarion dimmable?
No. The integrated LED is non-dimmable. Attempting to pair it with a dimmer switch may cause flicker or damage the driver circuit.
Can it be used in bathrooms?
No. The IP20 rating means it is not protected against moisture ingress and must only be installed in dry indoor rooms. Bathrooms and wet zones require IP44 or IP65 rated fittings.
What is CRI90 and why does it matter?
CRI (Colour Rendering Index) measures how accurately a light source renders colours compared to natural daylight. CRI90 is higher than the standard CRI80 found in most LED downlights, meaning colours appear closer to how they would look under daylight. This matters in rooms where colour matching is important — kitchens, wardrobes, art walls.
What cut-out size is required?
The 28mm diameter refers to the visible trim ring. The cut-out size and installation depth are not provided in the specification — check the installation instructions or contact us before cutting the ceiling to confirm exact dimensions.
