Description
The Pesvette is a round recessed downlight in white, with a plastic body and a face 9cm across that sits neatly against the ceiling. An inner ring frames the lamp, a GU10 of 4.5W giving 345lm of warm white light, a pool of light directly beneath each one. It runs on mains power at 220-240V, 50/60Hz, and carries energy class F. The IP rating is IP20, and that settles where it belongs: indoors and dry, in rooms well away from water and steam.
Because the light comes from the ceiling itself, a run of these downlights suits hallways, landings, living rooms, bedrooms and studies. It works anywhere you want light from overhead without a pendant or shade hanging down into the room. The white face blends into a white ceiling, so the eye goes to the room rather than the light. There is no switch on the downlight itself; it is switched at the wall, so you control it from your usual light switch. GU10 is a widely used lamp cap, which makes a replacement lamp straightforward to source whenever the time comes.
Before ordering, check the ceiling. The downlight needs a cut-out 6.8cm across and 8.5cm of recess depth above the ceiling line, so a shallow void or a joist in the way is worth ruling out first. Spring clips hold the body in the ceiling, and the packed weight is a modest 0.18KG. As a wired mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. A tape measure and a few minutes in the loft, where there is one, will tell you whether your ceiling has the room it needs.
