Description
The Gosmelle is a round, flush-fitting LED downlight in white, with a steel body and a white opal diffuser across its face. It is 16.6cm wide, needs a 15.5cm cut-out and has a recess depth of just 2.6cm, so it suits ceilings with only a shallow void. The LEDs are integrated, drawing 11W and giving 1,350lm of cool light at 4000K, a clear, crisp light that suits practical tasks. It is rated IP44, which means it is protected from splashing water, so it can go into a bathroom or kitchen ceiling as well as a dry living space.
We like a run of these across a bathroom ceiling, where the IP44 rating earns its keep; a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone. The cool white tone keeps a kitchen, utility room or hallway bright and clear for everyday jobs, and a pair set into the ceiling over a window seat or reading nook gives good light for a book. With the LEDs integrated, there is no bulb to buy or replace, and the slim white rim sits close to the ceiling, so the light reads as a neat white circle rather than a fitting that draws the eye.
The body is steel and the diffuser plastic, both finished in white to sit quietly against a painted ceiling. It is not dimmable and has no switch of its own, so it works from the wall switch you already have. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and has an energy class of E. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions are available as a download. One practical note before you order: check the ceiling has room for the 15.5cm cut-out, since that hole size is the figure that decides the fit.
