Description
The Imber LED NW is a compact recessed LED spotlight running on 12V DC, drawing just 1W to give 40 lumens of cool white 4000K light through a wide 105 degree beam. Across US listings the same fitting reads as a recessed accent spotlight, a tiny point source dropped flush into a surface rather than mounted on top of it. The round body measures only Ø30mm with a 16.3mm depth, so it sits as a discreet pinpoint of light where a full-size fixture would be far too large.
At 40 lumens this is a marker and accent light rather than a source for lighting a whole room, so think of it in numbers: a row of them grazing a path edge, picking out a step nosing, or studding a soffit, deck riser or planter wall. The narrow output and broad spread mean each one throws a soft pool of illumination over its immediate surroundings rather than reaching far, which is exactly what makes a cluster of them effective for outlining edges and changes in level. Set into a ceiling, porch underside or recessed pocket, they read as a clean line of points instead of one bright glare.
Built from aluminium alloy with an aluminium finish, the Imber carries an IP65 rating, so it is sealed against dust and direct water and stands up to fully exposed outdoor and wet positions. It runs from a 12V DC supply, which means a suitable transformer or driver is needed to step mains down to low voltage before installation. The fitting is recessed into the surface rather than surface-mounted, the cool white tone is fixed at 4000K, and it is not dimmable. This range also includes warm and cool white options so accent runs can be matched to their setting.

Frequently Asked
Can the Imber be used outdoors and in wet locations?
Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is fully protected against dust and against water jets from any direction. That makes it suitable for exposed outdoor positions, porches, decking and other wet or splash-prone areas.
Does it need a separate transformer?
Yes. The Imber runs on 12V DC rather than mains voltage, so a compatible low-voltage driver or transformer is required to power it. One transformer can usually supply several fittings on the same run, provided its rated output covers the combined wattage.
How wide is the beam and how much does it light?
The beam angle is 105 degrees, giving a broad, soft spread from each fitting. At 40 lumens it works as an accent and marker light, ideal for grazing step edges, path borders or soffits, so plan on several spaced along a run rather than relying on a single unit.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Wipe the lens and aluminium body with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh solvents that could mar the finish. Make sure the fitting is switched off and cool first, and check the seal seats cleanly afterwards to keep the IP65 weatherproofing intact.
