Description
A compact LED spot lamp with a clear front face and a white body, giving a crisp cool white at 4000K. It draws only 5W and returns 400 lumens, so it swaps in for an old halogen spot without asking much of the circuit. The beam is narrow rather than broad, which keeps the light gathered on what you point it at instead of washing across a whole room. It dims, provided the dimmer on the wall is one rated for LED loads.
We use these in kitchens, over worktops and islands, in hallway downlights and in track spots aimed at shelving, artwork or a run of open cupboards. The cooler tone reads clean and awake rather than cosy, so it suits task areas, utility rooms and home offices better than a bedroom where you want something warmer. At the common 50mm diameter it goes where most spot fittings already expect a lamp of this kind, which makes it a straightforward like-for-like when a tired halogen finally gives up. Keep it to rooms that stay dry.
The clear face over the diodes throws a sharper, more sparkling pool of light than a frosted one would, and the white body sits quietly behind the trim of most spot fittings. Looking after it asks very little: cut the power at the switch, give it a moment to go cold, then draw a dry lint-free cloth across the face. Solvents and abrasives are best avoided, because scratches on a clear lens show up in the beam. Where several run in a line along a ceiling, even spacing pays off with a beam this tight, and the result is a tidy rhythm of bright circles rather than a single flat wash. A suitable dimmer is not included.

Frequently Asked
Will it dim on any dimmer switch?
No. It needs a dimmer suited to LED loads, such as a trailing edge type, and older resistive dimmers meant for halogen can cause flicker or buzz. No dimmer is supplied with the lamp.
What does 4000K look like in a room?
It is a clean, neutral cool white with no yellow cast. It reads bright and crisp on worktops, tiles and paperwork, and it is cooler than the 2700K to 3000K most people choose for living rooms and bedrooms.
What are the exact dimensions?
50mm across the face and 55mm tall, which is the standard GU10 spot size.
How wide is the beam?
36 degrees, so it gives a defined pool of light rather than a broad spread. That suits accent and task lighting, and means you want reasonably even spacing if you are running a row of them.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 25,000 hours of average life, and colour rendering is above 80 CRI.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
Not in a wet or exposed position. It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry indoor rooms.
