Description
This is a flat, disc-shaped LED lamp with a white face and a shallow white body, made for fittings that take the GX53 base. It draws 12W and gives around 930 lumens of warm white light at 3000K, a soft tone with a hint of yellow in it that sits comfortably against cream paint, oak and brass. The spread is wide, so light washes across a surface rather than pooling in a tight circle. It is not dimmable, so pair it with a plain switched circuit.
Shallow GX53 fittings tend to appear where depth is scarce: under-cabinet pucks in kitchens, slim ceiling fittings in hallways and on landings, shelf and alcove lights, and the insides of wardrobes. We reach for a lamp like this when a fitting is too slim to take a conventional reflector lamp, and it suits anyone replacing tired old GX53 discs that have gone dim or slow to strike. The warm output is easy to live with in a room you use in the evening.
The face is a white diffuser rather than a clear lens, which softens the light and hides the emitters behind it, and the body is white to match so it disappears into a pale fitting. It is a very light lamp for its diameter. To keep the output honest, wipe the face with a dry cloth when the lamp is cold, and leave abrasive pads and cleaning sprays well away from it. Being rated for dry indoor rooms, it is not one for a shower zone or an outbuilding. It carries a two year warranty. We stock the same lamp in a cooler white, in a lower wattage where a cabinet needs less punch, and in dimmable versions for circuits that are already on a dimmer.

Frequently Asked
What size is this lamp?
It measures 74mm across the face and 28mm deep, the standard shallow GX53 disc format.
How much light does it give?
Around 930 lumens from 12W, spread over a wide 120 degree beam so it covers a shelf or worktop evenly.
Can I use it on a dimmer?
No. This version is non-dimmable and should run on a plain switch. We stock dimmable GX53 lamps separately if your circuit is already dimmed.
Is 3000K warm or cool?
Warm. At 3000K it reads as a soft white with a little warmth, close to a traditional halogen tone. The 4000K version in the same range is noticeably crisper.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 20,000 hours average life, with a colour rendering index above 80.
How should I clean it?
Switch off and let it go cold, then dust the white face with a dry cloth. Avoid solvents, polishes and anything abrasive on the diffuser.
