Description
The Quark is a small recessed downlight that sets almost flush into a plasterboard ceiling and sends a single directed beam downward. It is built around an integrated LED behind an aluminium body finished in black, so the aperture reads as a neat dark circle against the plaster rather than a bright rim. At 58.5mm across the face and 110mm deep, this 12W version is the brighter, deeper head in the range.
This version has a tilting head, so the beam can be angled off vertical to wash a wall, graze a texture or aim at a picture rather than only pointing straight down. The LED is fixed at a warm 3000K and gives 1200 lumens over a 25 degree beam, with a colour rendering above 90, so paint, art and skin hold their tone closely under it. The extra output over the 9W head suits a higher ceiling or a spot that needs more punch, while the black ring keeps glare down.
The LED is built in and rated for around 50,000 hours, so there is no bulb to fit or replace. The head recesses into the ceiling and runs from a driver, which we can supply alongside so the fitting arrives ready to wire in. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms.

Frequently Asked
What kind of light does the Quark give?
A warm, directed pool. The integrated LED runs at 3000K over a 25 degree beam, 1200 lumens, with a colour rendering above 90, so colours and skin tones read true. It lights a defined spot rather than the whole room.
Does the head move?
Yes. This is the adjustable version, so the head tilts within the ring and the beam can be aimed off vertical at a wall, a picture or a shelf rather than only straight down.
How does it compare to the 9W Quark?
This 12W head gives 1200 lumens against the 9W head's 900, and is deeper at 110mm. The extra output suits a higher ceiling or a spot that needs more punch; both share the same 25 degree beam and 3000K tone.
How big is it and where does it suit?
The body is 58.5mm across and 110mm deep. Rated IP20 for dry rooms, the tilt and brighter beam suit accent lighting over art or general light in a living room or hallway with a higher ceiling, in black.
