Description
A plain round trim in sand white, this is a recessed light that gets on with its job and then all but disappears overhead. The outer ring measures 85mm across and sits in a 70mm cut-out, so little of it shows once a lamp is in. The lampholder comes already fitted, ready for a GU10 reflector lamp of up to 10W. Sand white is a quiet, understated white rather than a bright gloss, so the fitting reads as part of the ceiling rather than an object on it.
Downlights like this earn their keep in numbers, so we tend to see them ordered as a run along a hallway, a line above kitchen worktops, or spread across a landing. The small cut-out keeps the ceiling looking calm where a larger trim would start to crowd it, and it is one we suggest for low rooms where a pendant would sit in the way. It will dim, provided you choose a dimmable lamp and there is a suitable dimmer on the circuit; no dimmer comes with the fitting. Keep it to rooms that stay dry, away from shower zones and unheated outbuildings.
The body is compact and light in the hand, with the sand white finish carried across the visible face. Cleaning takes very little: let the lamp go cold, then run a dry cloth around the trim to lift dust, and leave sprays and damp cloths well away from the lampholder. If a lamp ever fails, the holder stays where it is and only the lamp is swapped. It carries a one year warranty. We also stock the same downlight in sand black, which is the one we pick out when a ceiling has been painted a deep colour. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size hole does it need?
It is designed for a 70mm cut-out, with an 85mm trim covering the opening and a body depth of 45mm behind it.
Which lamp should I buy for it?
A GU10 LED reflector lamp in the 50mm size, rated at no more than 10W. One lamp is used per downlight, and lamps are bought separately.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
Yes, as long as the GU10 lamp you fit is itself dimmable and the dimmer suits LED loads. No dimmer is supplied with the downlight.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry rooms such as hallways, kitchens, bedrooms and living spaces rather than anywhere exposed to splashing or steam.
What colours is it available in?
We stock it in sand white and in sand black, both with the same 70mm cut-out, so the two can be used together in one scheme.
How should I clean the trim?
Switch the circuit off and wait for the lamp to cool, then dust the face with a dry cloth. Avoid solvents and cleaning sprays, which can mark the finish.
