Description
The Sally is an 85mm diameter recessed downlight with an 11W integrated COB LED rated at 3000K warm white, set inside a die-cast aluminium housing with a black outer trim ring and a white-painted reflector cone. The two-tone finish—black visible rim, white internal cone—creates a defined aperture and increases light output by reflecting more of the LED's emission back into the room.
Designed for plasterboard and suspended panel ceilings in residential and commercial spaces, the Sally installs into a standard ceiling cutout with spring clips holding the housing in place behind the plaster. The 85mm diameter suits corridor spacing of 1.5-2m for general ambient coverage, or tighter 1-1.2m spacing for higher illumination levels in kitchens, retail, and offices. The 11W output provides approximately 800-900 lumens depending on the specific COB module used, comparable to a 60-75W incandescent.
The die-cast aluminium construction dissipates heat efficiently, allowing the LED to maintain consistent output and colour temperature over the rated 30,000-hour lifetime. The black powder-coated trim ring pairs with contemporary, industrial and minimalist interiors where visible ceiling hardware is reduced to clean circular apertures. The IP40 rating protects against dust ingress in standard dry interior environments. It is rated IP40, so it is for dry rooms only.

Frequently Asked
What ceiling depth is required?
The Sally requires a minimum void depth of approximately 100mm above the ceiling surface to accommodate the LED driver and heat sink. Check the ceiling void before cutting the aperture.
Is this downlight dimmable?
No. The integrated 11W LED driver is not compatible with standard dimmer switches. Installing on a dimmed circuit may cause flicker or failure.
Can it be used in bathrooms?
No. It is rated IP40, so it is for dry rooms only. The IP40 rating protects against dust but not water or moisture ingress. The Sally is not suitable for any area where moisture is present.
What spacing is recommended for general lighting?
For ambient coverage in a hallway or open-plan room with 2.4m ceilings, space the downlights 1.5-2m apart. For task lighting in kitchens or work areas, reduce spacing to 1-1.2m for higher lux levels.
