Description
The Sisessa is a round LED downlight in white, made to sit recessed into a ceiling so that only a slim white rim and a frosted diffuser show. Body and shade are both plastic, and the whole fitting weighs just 0.06KG. It is 11.7cm across and 3.1cm high, and it needs a ceiling cut-out of 10 to 11cm, which is the figure to check first if you are replacing an older downlight. The LED is integrated, giving 825lm of warm white light at 3000K. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in dry rooms, so it is not one for a bathroom or a porch.
Warm white at 3000K is the gentle, homely tone most people want in a living room, bedroom, hallway or landing, and 825lm from a single downlight is a generous amount of light for its size. Fitted in a row or a grid, a set of these gives even, softened light across a whole ceiling without a hanging shade taking up headroom. The shallow 3.1cm height suits ceilings where the space above is tight, and the plain white finish blends into a white ceiling, so the light does the work rather than the fitting.
There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, so you control it from your usual light switch. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and carries energy class E. Two spring clips hold the body in the ceiling, and a wired-in downlight like this is installed by a qualified electrician; the installation instructions are available as a download. The LED can be replaced by a specialist, so a worn light source need not mean replacing the whole fitting. Before you order, measure the hole or plan the cut-out: this downlight needs between 10 and 11cm.

Frequently Asked
What size hole does the Sisessa need?
It needs a ceiling cut-out of 10 to 11cm, and the white rim is 11.7cm across, so it sits wider than the hole itself.
Can this downlight go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is meant for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it away from bathrooms, anywhere near water and anywhere outdoors.
How bright is the light, and what colour is it?
It gives 825lm of warm white light at 3000K from an integrated LED, a soft, homely tone that suits living rooms, bedrooms and hallways.
Can the LED be replaced?
Yes, the LED is replaceable by a specialist, so the downlight does not need replacing as a whole when the light source reaches the end of its life.
Does the downlight have its own switch?
No, it has no switch of its own; it is switched at the wall, so you control it with your existing light switch.
How deep is the downlight?
It is 3.1cm high, a shallow profile that suits ceilings with limited space above them, and it weighs just 0.06KG.
