Description
The Dravanne LED downlight is a round recessed ceiling light with a brushed satin nickel bezel around a deep-set lens, built on an aluminium body. It measures 8.8cm across, needs a 6.8cm cut-out and takes 4.6cm of recess depth, so it suits ceilings with only a shallow space behind the plasterboard. The light source is an integrated LED drawing 5W and giving 500 lumens, so there is never a bulb to buy or change. It is rated IP65, which means it is sealed against dust and protected from jets of water, so it is as much at home in a damp room as a dry one.
Because of that rating, we would suggest it for a bathroom or shower room, where a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone, as well as a kitchen, hallway or landing. Set in a line along a corridor or spaced across a kitchen ceiling, a run of them keeps the ceiling clean and uncluttered, and the satin nickel sits well beside brushed nickel taps and handles. The real gain is choice: there are three colour temperatures, chosen at the light itself, so you can pick a warm 2700K for a living room, a neutral 4000K for a kitchen or a crisp 6500K for a utility room.
The bezel has a fine brushed grain, and the lens sits deep inside it, which keeps the LED set back from view; spring clips hold the body in the ceiling. It is not dimmable and has no switch of its own, so it runs from your wall switch on a 220 to 240V, 50/60Hz mains supply. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. It has an energy class of E and weighs 0.254KG packed. Before ordering, check that your ceiling void has at least 4.6cm of depth and room for a 6.8cm hole.

Frequently Asked
Can the Dravanne downlight go in a bathroom?
Yes. It is rated IP65, sealed against dust and protected from jets of water, so it suits a bathroom or shower room; a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone.
Which colour temperatures does it offer?
Three: a warm 2700K, a neutral 4000K and a crisp 6500K, all chosen at the light itself, so you can set the one that suits each room.
What size of hole does it need?
It needs a 6.8cm cut-out in the ceiling and 4.6cm of recess depth, and the satin nickel bezel measures 8.8cm across once fitted.
Is the downlight dimmable?
No, it is not dimmable. It has no switch of its own and runs from an ordinary wall switch, drawing 5W for 500 lumens.
Does it need a bulb?
No. The LED is integrated, so there is no bulb to buy or replace; it draws 5W and gives 500 lumens of light.
What material is the body?
The body is aluminium with a brushed satin nickel finish, which gives the bezel a fine, soft-sheen grain that sits well beside nickel taps and handles.
