Description
The Imber is a compact recessed LED spotlight that drops neatly into a ceiling or soffit, drawing just 1W at 12V DC to deliver 40 lumens of crisp 6500K daylight white. Its round white aluminium-alloy trim measures only Ø30mm with a 16.3mm depth, so it sits almost flush once installed. Americans would shop for this kind of fitting as a low-voltage recessed accent or mini eyeball light. The wide 105° beam spreads a soft wash rather than a tight spot, making it a marker and accent fitting rather than a primary source of room light.
Because the output is modest and the beam is broad, the Imber is best used as a run of points for definition rather than to flood an area. It works well picking out the underside of a porch or sheltered entrance, lining a soffit or eaves, or marking a path edge and step approach where a gentle guide light is wanted. Several units spaced along a line give an even, repeating wash, and the daylight tone keeps the light clean and contemporary against pale render or render-effect cladding. Mount it into a ceiling or soffit void at any practical height, as the throw is short and the spread even.
Built around an aluminium-alloy body with a white finish, the Imber carries an IP65 rating, so it is weatherproof and suited to exposed outdoor and wet locations as well as sheltered ones. It runs on 12V DC, so a suitable low-voltage transformer is needed to power it or a run of them. The fixture is recessed into the ceiling and is not dimmable, with a rated lifespan of around 30,000 hours and a featherweight 14g build. We also stock other outputs and tones in the Imber range for matching multi-point schemes.

Frequently Asked
Can the Imber be used outdoors?
Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is weatherproof and suitable for exposed outdoor and wet locations as well as sheltered spots like porches and soffits. It can handle direct rain, so it is at home on an open eave or path edge.
Does it need a transformer?
Yes. The Imber runs on 12V DC rather than mains voltage, so it needs a suitable low-voltage driver or transformer. If you are installing several, size the transformer to carry the combined 1W load of all the fittings on the run.
What is the beam angle and how does the light spread?
The beam angle is a wide 105°, so the Imber casts a soft, even wash rather than a tight spotlight. This makes it well suited to marking, edging and accenting rather than concentrating light on a single point.
How should I clean it?
Wipe the white trim and lens with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild detergent, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents on the aluminium finish, and make sure the fitting is switched off and cool before cleaning.
