Description
A square trim in matt silver, small enough to sit quietly overhead and plain enough to repeat down a run of ceiling. The visible face measures 9.2cm across, the body behind it is shallow, and the GU10 lampholder is already fitted, so the only choice left is the lamp itself. It is double insulated. We would use a warm white LED reflector here and think no further about it. The low sheen picks up less light than a polished finish, which keeps attention on what is lit rather than on the fitting.
Squares earn their keep in rooms with strong straight lines, so this is one we reach for over kitchen worktops, along a hallway, or above a desk and a run of shelving. Matt silver sits easily beside stainless appliances, brushed handles and grey joinery. Keep it to dry rooms: living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, landings and kitchen ceilings clear of a bath or shower. It will dim, provided the lamp you buy is a dimmable one and the wall dimmer is suited to it, and it will run a lamp of up to 50W.
The trim and housing carry the same matt silver, and the fitting is light in the hand. Dust the face now and then with a dry cloth, and leave the lamp to go cold before you go near it. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the identical square in matt black and matt white, and the range runs to round downlights in black, silver and white, which is handy if you want one shape in the kitchen and another in the hall. Nothing about it asks to be noticed, which is usually the point with a downlight. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size aperture does it need?
The cut-out is 80x80mm square, with a 92mm square face and a depth of 40mm behind the trim.
Which lamp do you suggest?
A GU10 LED in the 50mm reflector format, up to 50W. Warm white suits living rooms and hallways; a cooler white works over a worktop.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
Yes, as long as you fit a dimmable GU10 lamp and a dimmer rated for LED loads. Neither the lamp nor the dimmer comes with it.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry rooms rather than anywhere exposed to spray or steam.
How do I keep the finish looking right?
Switch off at the wall, let the lamp cool, then wipe the trim with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams on the matt silver.
Is there a round version?
Yes, the range includes 9.6cm round downlights in matt black, matt silver and matt white, and the square is also offered in matt black and matt white.
