Description
The Imber LED NW is a miniature recessed LED spotlight that draws just 1W to deliver 30 lumens of cool white 4000K light through a wide 105 degree beam. At only Ø30mm across and 16.3mm deep it sits almost flush into a ceiling or soffit, casting a soft, low-level pool of light rather than a tight focused beam. American buyers shopping for a tiny low-voltage recessed marker or accent fitting will recognise this as a mini puck-style spotlight, sized to disappear into the surface it is fitted to.
Because the output is modest and the beam very broad, the Imber is best read as an accent and orientation light rather than a primary source. It suits sheltered porch ceilings, covered walkways, eaves and soffits where a run of points gives a quiet wash of light to mark a threshold or graze a wall. The wide 105 degree spread means several units placed along a soffit overlap into an even line of light, so think in terms of repeated points across a length rather than one fitting lighting a whole area. Its 12V DC supply keeps it well suited to outdoor and damp positions where a low-voltage circuit is preferred.
The body is aluminium alloy in a black finish, rated IP65 so it copes with exposed outdoor and wet locations including direct rain. It recesses into the ceiling and runs on 12V DC, so it needs a suitable low-voltage transformer to drive it rather than a mains connection. The integrated LED is rated for around 30,000 hours and the fitting is not dimmable. This Imber sits within a wider range of low-voltage Kanlux recessed points, so matching units can be specified across a single installation.

Frequently Asked
Is this spotlight suitable for outdoor and wet locations?
Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is fully weatherproof and rated for exposed outdoor and wet positions, including direct rain. It works well in soffits, porch ceilings and covered walkways.
Does it run on mains voltage or does it need a transformer?
It runs on 12V DC, not mains, so it must be wired to a suitable low-voltage transformer or driver. Size the transformer to cover the total load of all the fittings on the circuit, with each Imber drawing 1W.
What sort of beam does it give?
The beam angle is a wide 105 degrees, so it produces a soft, spread pool of cool white 4000K light rather than a tight spot. This makes it best for accent and orientation lighting, such as marking a threshold or grazing a wall.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Wipe the lens and visible black housing with a soft, damp cloth once the fitting is switched off and cool. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents on the aluminium alloy body, and clear away any debris around recessed units in outdoor positions to keep the light output clean.
