Derato Ø110 8W E14 Round Ceiling Light - Black

The Derato is a compact round ceiling light built around a single E14 lamp holder rated to a maximum of 8W, running on a standard 220-240V AC supply. At just 110mm across, it is one of the smaller fittings of its kind, the sort of fixture a US buyer would recognise as a flush mount LED ceiling light sitting close against the surface rather than dropping down on a stem. The round aluminium-alloy body keeps the profile low and tidy, and because the bulb is user-supplied you choose the colour temperature and brightness by the lamp you fit, within the 8W ceiling.

Its small footprint suits spots where a full-size fitting would be too much: a porch lobby, a landing, the top of a stairwell, a utility cupboard, a small hallway or an alcove that needs a neat point of light rather than broad room coverage. With a single sub-8W lamp the output is modest, so think of it as accent or supplementary lighting for compact indoor areas rather than the main source for a large room. It can be mounted on either a ceiling or a wall, which makes it flexible for tight corners and short runs of corridor where the orientation has to follow the surface available. Keep it to dry interior positions only.

Construction is aluminium alloy with a black or silver finish, giving a hard-wearing shell at a light 336g that is simple to support on plasterboard or a solid surface. The fitting carries an IP20 rating, so it is intended for dry indoor locations and should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed setting. There is no integrated driver to consider since it takes a replaceable E14 bulb directly, and dimming depends entirely on the lamp you choose. The Derato range offers this round form in more than one finish to match existing fittings.

What size room does it suit?

With a single E14 bulb capped at 8W, the Derato gives modest output, so it works best as accent or supplementary light in compact indoor spaces such as a landing, hallway, alcove or small cupboard. For a larger room you would pair several of them or use it alongside a brighter main fitting.

Is the Derato dimmable?

Dimming is determined by the bulb you fit rather than the fitting itself, since it takes a replaceable E14 lamp. Choose a dimmable E14 bulb up to 8W and pair it with a compatible dimmer switch to vary the level.

Can it be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. The Derato is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor use only and offers no protection against moisture or splashing. Keep it out of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed location.

How do I clean it?

Switch off the supply and let the bulb cool, then wipe the round aluminium-alloy body with a soft dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive pads so the black or silver finish is not marked, and never let water enter the lamp holder.
