Description
The Gosmelle is a round recessed LED downlight with a black steel body and a white plastic diffuser, a compact fitting 8.6cm in diameter. Its bezel carries a fine textured black finish, so it reads as a crisp, dark ring against a pale ceiling. The LED is integrated, which means there is no separate bulb to buy or change, and it draws 2.7W to give 330 lumens of warm white light at 3000K. It is rated IP20, and that settles where it belongs: indoors, in rooms that stay dry.
We see it working hardest in hallways, landings, living rooms, bedrooms and studies, where a few set in a line give even, gentle light without a pendant hanging low. Run them along a corridor and they wash warm light down a wall of framed prints or family photographs, which is a good way to make a narrow space feel calmer and more finished. The black bezel suits a modern or monochrome scheme, while 3000K warm white keeps evenings relaxed. Because it needs only 2.6cm of recess depth, it is a sensible choice where the ceiling void is shallow.
The body is steel and the diffuser is plastic, so a soft, dry cloth is all it needs to stay clean; switch it off and let it cool first. It is not dimmable and has no switch of its own, so it is switched at the wall with an ordinary switch rather than a dimmer. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains, carries energy class E and weighs 0.161KG packed. As a mains light wired into the ceiling, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a PDF download. Each downlight needs a cut-out of 7.5cm, a useful figure to have when you plan how many to fit and where they go.

Frequently Asked
Can the Gosmelle downlight go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is meant for indoor rooms that stay dry, so we suggest hallways, living rooms and bedrooms rather than bathrooms or anywhere outdoors.
What size hole does this downlight need?
It needs a cut-out of 7.5cm and a recess depth of 2.6cm, and the black bezel is 8.6cm in diameter, so it covers the edge of the hole.
Is the Gosmelle dimmable?
No, it is not dimmable. It has no switch of its own and is switched at the wall with an ordinary switch rather than a dimmer.
How bright is the light?
The integrated LED draws 2.7W and gives 330 lumens of warm white light at 3000K, a soft, cosy tone that suits living spaces and hallways.
Does it need a bulb?
No separate bulb is needed, because the LED is integrated and comes as part of the downlight itself, so there is nothing to buy or change.
What finish is the bezel?
The bezel is black steel with a fine textured finish, framing a white plastic diffuser, and it sits as a neat dark ring against a pale ceiling.
