Description
The Gosmelle is a round LED downlight that sits almost flush with the ceiling. A black steel bezel frames a white plastic diffuser. It measures 11.7cm across and needs a cut-out of 10.5cm, with a recess depth of just 2.6cm, so it suits ceilings where the void above is shallow. The LED is integrated, drawing 5.5W and giving 650 lumens of warm white light at 3000K. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms, away from bathrooms and outside walls.
From below, the ceiling shows only a neat black ring around a glowing white disc. That makes this black downlight a good fit for hallways, landings, living rooms, bedrooms and studies, wherever you want even light without a pendant or shade in the way. Several set in a line along a corridor give a steady wash of light, which works well over a run of framed pictures or prints. The black bezel is the detail worth noticing: against a white or pale grey ceiling it reads as a crisp, graphic accent. At 3000K the warm white light flatters wood and warm paint colours, so rooms feel welcoming in the evening.
The body is steel and the diffuser is plastic. Because the LED is integrated, there is no bulb to buy or change. It is not dimmable and has no switch of its own. It is switched at the wall, so pair it with a standard wall switch rather than a dimmer. It runs on 220-240V mains at 50/60Hz and carries an energy class of F. A mains downlight like this is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a PDF download. To keep it looking fresh, wipe the bezel and diffuser with a soft, dry cloth while the light is switched off and cool.

Frequently Asked
Can the Gosmelle go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means indoors and dry only, so keep it to hallways, living rooms, bedrooms and other rooms away from water.
What size hole does it need?
It needs a cut-out of 10.5cm, and the round black bezel measures 11.7cm across, so the bezel covers the edge of the hole.
How deep is the recess?
The recess depth is 2.6cm, which makes it a good choice where the space above the ceiling is shallow.
Is the light warm or cool?
It gives warm white light at 3000K, with 650 lumens from an integrated 5.5W LED, a cosy tone for living rooms, bedrooms and hallways.
Can the downlight be dimmed?
No, it is not dimmable. It has no switch of its own and is switched at the wall, so it suits a standard switch rather than a dimmer.
