Description
A honeycomb louvre in black, this small round cover is made to take the glare out of an Ipsilon track light. The open cells let the beam through while shielding the bright source from anyone looking back towards it, so what you notice is the lit object rather than the fitting. At 62mm across it is a discreet piece, barely altering the profile of the head it works with. Being non-electric, it draws nothing and needs no lamp of its own. It is one we keep alongside the track heads themselves.
We reach for these in rooms where light is aimed across a space at eye level: shop displays, gallery walls, kitchen islands with seating on the far side, and long open-plan rooms where a narrow beam would otherwise be caught head on from the sofa. They suit anyone who has lived with accent lighting and found it dazzling from the wrong angle. Used across a whole run of track heads the effect stays consistent, and we would specify them from the start where artwork or a glossy worktop is in play.
The black finish is there to sit quietly in the aperture, with dark cells absorbing stray light rather than bouncing it back. Keeping it clean is a matter of lifting dust out of the cells now and then with a dry, soft-bristled brush, with no solvents or sprays anywhere near it. It carries a five year warranty. The rest of the range is track lights in black and white, at two colour temperatures, so the cover can be matched to the head you have chosen. It is a small part, and it changes how a bright fitting feels to stand beneath.

Frequently Asked
What does a honeycomb cover actually do?
It breaks the face of the light into small dark cells. The beam still passes through, but the bright source is hidden from view at wider angles, so the fitting is far less dazzling when you look towards it.
Which lights does this cover suit?
It is sized for the 62mm aperture of the Ipsilon track lights in the same range, which we stock in black and white at 3000K and 4000K.
How big is it?
It measures 62mm in diameter and 36mm high, and weighs only around 0.01kg.
Does it need any wiring or a lamp?
No. It is a non-electric accessory with no lamp and no connection of its own.
How should I clean it?
Dust the cells with a dry, soft-bristled brush. Avoid solvents, polishes and spray cleaners, and do not soak it.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a five year warranty.
