Description
Small, neat and unfussy, this recessed spotlight is built around a 55mm cut-out and an integrated LED drawing 8W. Output is 720 lumens, with a narrow beam that picks out a worktop, a shelf or a wet room floor rather than washing light across everything. Colour temperature is switchable at the fitting between extra warm, warm and cool white, so the same unit can be tuned to suit the room it ends up in. It is not dimmable, so it runs from an ordinary switch, and the driver comes with it.
Sealing is the point of difference here: the front of the fitting is rated to shrug off water spray and dust, which makes it a sensible choice for bathroom ceilings, shower areas, utility rooms and covered porches, as well as ordinary kitchens and hallways. We reach for downlights of this size when a room needs light without another visible object in it, and we would space a few of them along a hall or across a shower enclosure rather than rely on a single fitting. The tight beam also suits alcoves and stairwells where you want the light to land in a defined pool.
The body and trim are finished in black, which keeps the fitting reading as a dark circle rather than a bright ring against a painted ceiling. The LED is built in, so there is nothing to change over its life, and the black finish takes nothing more than an occasional wipe with a barely damp cloth once the light has been off long enough to be cool to the touch. It carries a three year warranty. We stock the same downlight in white if you would rather it vanished against a pale ceiling, and in a wider version for larger rooms.

Frequently Asked
How do I change the colour temperature?
The fitting is CCT switchable between 2700K extra warm white, 3000K warm white and 4000K cool white, selected on the unit itself, so you can set it once to match the rest of the lighting in the room.
Can it be dimmed?
No. It is a non-dimmable fitting and should be wired to a standard on/off switch. Using it on a dimmer circuit can cause flicker and shorten the life of the LED.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or shower area?
Yes. The face of the fitting is IP65 rated against water jets and dust, with the supplied driver rated IP20, so the driver needs to sit in a dry position away from splashing.
What size opening does it need?
The cut-out is 55mm. The visible trim measures 65mm across and the fitting is 64mm deep behind it.
How much light does it give, and what is the colour rendering like?
720 lumens from 8W, with a 36 degree beam and a CRI of 90 or above, so colours on tiles, timber and food read accurately.
Do I need to buy a bulb?
No. The LED is integrated and rated at around 30,000 hours, so there is no separate lamp to source or replace.
