Description
The Sally is an 85mm diameter LED recessed downlight with an 11W COB (chip-on-board) light source delivering 3000K warm white light through a gold-finished reflector cone set within a white powder-coated trim ring. The die-cast aluminium housing fits plasterboard and panel ceilings with a cut-out diameter of approximately 72mm and a recess depth of 60-70mm.
Designed for general ambient lighting in residential and light commercial spaces, the Sally provides even downward light distribution with minimal glare thanks to the recessed position of the LED within the gold reflector. The warm 3000K colour temperature suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining areas where a softer light tone is preferred over cooler whites. The 11W output provides sufficient illumination for spacing at 1.5-2m intervals in standard ceiling heights of 2.4-2.7m.
The white exterior trim sits flush with the ceiling surface once installed, while the gold-finished interior reflector adds a subtle accent visible from below and helps warm the light output. The IP40 rating provides basic protection against solid objects larger than 1mm, making the fitting suitable for general indoor use in dry locations. The COB LED is integrated and non-replaceable, rated for approximately 30,000 hours of operation.
Installation requires cutting a circular aperture in the ceiling, connecting to mains 230V supply via a driver (typically housed above the ceiling), and clipping the trim into place. The fitting is not dimmable and should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with UK wiring regulations.

Frequently Asked
What cut-out size is needed in the ceiling?
The Sally requires a circular cut-out of approximately 72mm diameter. The visible trim diameter once installed is 85mm, which covers the cut edge of the plasterboard or panel ceiling.
Can the LED be replaced when it fails?
No. The Sally uses an integrated COB LED rated for approximately 30,000 hours, which is non-replaceable. When the LED reaches end of life, the entire fitting is replaced.
Is this suitable for bathroom use?
The IP40 rating provides only basic protection against solid particles and offers no water ingress protection. It is not suitable for bathroom zones requiring IP44 or higher ratings. Use only in dry indoor locations.
What's the recess depth required above the ceiling?
The fitting typically requires 60-70mm of clear recess depth above the ceiling surface to accommodate the driver and housing. Check the specific ceiling void depth before ordering to confirm compatibility.
