{"product_id":"kara-6w-led-recessed-panel-light-white-4000k-dimmable","title":"Kara 6W LED Recessed Panel Light - White 4000K Dimmable","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kara is a 6W LED recessed panel light with a 149mm white polycarbonate surround and an opal diffuser that spreads 550lm of 4000K cool white light across a 110-degree beam angle. The integrated LED sits behind edge-lit technology, distributing light evenly across the panel surface without visible hotspots or dark patches. The fitting requires a 135mm ceiling cut-out and a minimum 75mm void depth above the ceiling plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for flush installation in corridors, offices, kitchens and commercial spaces where ceiling depth is limited, the Kara's 24mm recessed depth keeps the visible profile low while the Class II double-insulated construction removes the need for an earth connection during installation. The constant current driver runs on 230V mains and supports dimming where paired with a compatible LED dimmer — check dimmer compatibility before installation to avoid flicker or driver damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white polycarbonate body and opal diffuser give a clean finish that sits flush with plasterboard ceilings or suspended tile grids. The 6W draw delivers 550lm at an efficacy of 124lm\/W, with a CRI above 80 maintaining colour accuracy under the cool 4000K output. The L70B50 rating of 30,000 hours predicts that 50% of units will still deliver at least 70% of initial light output after three years of continuous operation. An optional emergency kit (EMKIT2L, sold separately) converts the panel to emergency lighting for fire-safety compliance in commercial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e149 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Void\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut-out Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e135 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiffuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSMD LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes*\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL70B50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Rating (Class) post 2021 SLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeam Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCCT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4000 K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCool White\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLumens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e550 lm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLumens (Light Source only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e765 lm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEfficacy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e124.17 lm\/W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCRI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDriver Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstant Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_6228251_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_1646938.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Kara dimmable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the fitting is rated as dimmable but requires a compatible LED dimmer.
