Description
The Radiara-2 is a 144mm diameter recessed LED downlight with an integrated 15W 3000K light source housed in a white die-cast aluminium body. The fitting uses COB (Chip on Board) LED technology to deliver a diffused warm-white output through a frosted lens, eliminating visible hotspots or individual LED diodes.
Designed for plasterboard ceiling installation in bathrooms, kitchens, hallways and utility rooms where an IP44-rated fitting is required, the Radiara-2 cuts a 71mm aperture and sits flush with the ceiling surface once fitted. The IP44 front protection rating provides resistance against water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for Zone 2 bathroom areas (600mm+ from a shower head or bath edge) and general kitchen use.
The die-cast aluminium construction dissipates heat effectively, supporting the LED module's rated lifespan without needing active cooling fans. The matt white finish matches standard ceiling paint tones and the 144mm visible diameter gives a low-profile presence in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or lower. The fitting is not dimmable and runs on 230V mains without requiring a separate driver box.
Each Radiara-2 carries a 5-year warranty from Ideal Lux and ships with the LED module pre-installed — no separate bulbs are needed. The 15W rating delivers equivalent output to a traditional 75-100W halogen downlight while drawing significantly less current, making it suitable for multiple-fitting installations without overloading circuit capacity.

Frequently Asked
What cut-out size is required?
The Radiara-2 requires a 71mm diameter hole cut into plasterboard ceiling. The visible diameter once installed is 144mm, with the outer ring sitting flush against the ceiling surface.
Can this be used in a bathroom?
Yes. The IP44 front protection rating makes it suitable for bathroom Zone 2 installations — areas at least 600mm away from a shower head or bath edge. It is not rated for use directly above a shower (Zone 1) or inside a shower enclosure (Zone 0).
Is the LED replaceable?
No. The LED module is integrated into the fitting and not user-replaceable. The module carries a 5-year warranty from Ideal Lux and is designed to last 30,000+ hours of operation before requiring replacement of the entire fitting.
What is the light output?
The 15W integrated LED at 3000K delivers a warm-white output approximately equivalent to a 75-100W halogen downlight. Specific lumen output is not stated in the manufacturer specification but typical COB LED fittings at this wattage produce 1200-1400 lumens.
