Erga PIR 17W LED Downlight Colour Selectable - Black

The Erga PIR is a round LED downlight with an integrated motion sensor, drawing 17W from a 220-240V AC supply and delivering up to 1600 lumens. It is colour selectable across three switchable tones, 3000K warm white, 4000K neutral white and 6500K cool white, so the same fitting suits both relaxed and bright working areas. Sold in the US as a recessed can light, it gives a wide 120 degree spread that washes a space evenly rather than throwing a tight beam, and the built-in PIR brings the light on automatically when movement is detected.

The wide beam and the sensor make this a practical choice for hallways, landings, utility rooms and walk-in cupboards where hands-free, automatic lighting is welcome. At general lighting levels it covers around 5 m², so several units spaced across a ceiling will light a larger room or a run of corridor comfortably. As an IP20 fitting it is for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed location. The Ø230 mm body suits standard ceiling heights and the motion detection works best with a clear line of sight to the doorway or route being covered.

The Erga PIR is built from plastic in a black finish with a round profile measuring Ø230 mm and a depth of just 20 mm, weighing 414 g. It is flexible to install, working as a recessed fitting set into the ceiling or surface-mounted to a wall or ceiling where a cut-out is not practical. The fitting is not dimmable, with light level handled by the colour temperature switch and the sensor rather than a dimmer, and it runs directly from mains voltage with a rated lifespan of 50,000 hours. Other PIR and standard models sit alongside this one in the Erga range from Kanlux.

Is the Erga PIR downlight dimmable?

No, this fitting is not dimmable. Light output is set instead by the three switchable colour temperatures, 3000K, 4000K and 6500K, while the integrated PIR controls when the light turns on and off. Pairing it with a standard dimmer is not supported.

Can it be recessed, or does it surface mount?

It does both. The Erga PIR can be recessed into the ceiling for a flush finish, or surface mounted to a wall or ceiling where you cannot cut a hole. Its slim 20 mm depth keeps the surface-mounted profile low and tidy.

How do I switch the colour temperature?

The fitting is colour selectable between 3000K warm white, 4000K neutral white and 6500K cool white. You choose the tone at installation using the on-fitting selector, so one downlight can suit a cosy hallway or a brighter utility area without buying a separate model.

How do I clean the Erga PIR?

Switch the fitting off and let it cool, then wipe the plastic face with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can mark the black finish, and keep moisture away from the sensor window so detection stays accurate.
