Description

The Pauline is an 82mm diameter surface-mounted downlight with a white powder-coated aluminium cylinder and an acrylic diffuser at the base. The fitting takes a single GX53 bulb (sold separately) rated up to 15W and carries an IP44 rating, making it suitable for bathroom zones 2 and 3 as well as general indoor use.

Designed for areas where recessing into the ceiling is not possible or preferred, the Pauline mounts directly to the ceiling surface with a 70mm projection. The compact footprint suits hallways, bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes, and low-ceiling rooms where a traditional recessed downlight would require cutting into joists or reduce headroom. The acrylic diffuser softens the light output and reduces glare, making the fitting comfortable for task lighting in bathrooms or accent lighting in corridors.

The aluminium construction provides durability without excessive weight, and the white finish allows the fitting to blend into white or light-coloured ceilings. The GX53 base is a low-profile disc-style fitting common in European lighting, typically paired with warm-white LED bulbs between 7-11W for general ambient use. The IP44 rating protects against water splashes but does not make the fitting suitable for shower enclosures or outdoor exposed locations.

Frequently Asked

Can this be used in a bathroom?

Yes. The IP44 rating makes the Pauline suitable for bathroom zones 2 and 3 (outside the shower enclosure and more than 60cm from a bath or basin). It is not rated for use inside a shower cubicle or directly above a bath.

What bulb does it take?

The fitting takes a GX53 disc-style bulb up to 15W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED GX53 between 7-11W and 2700K-3000K for general ambient lighting.

Does it need to be recessed into the ceiling?

No. The Pauline is a surface-mounted downlight that fixes directly to the ceiling surface without cutting into joists or plasterboard. The 70mm projection from the ceiling makes it suitable for installations where recessing is not possible.

Is it dimmable?

Dimming depends on the GX53 bulb used. The fitting itself is compatible with dimmable GX53 LED bulbs when paired with a suitable LED-compatible dimmer switch.
