Description
The Sisessa is a round LED downlight that sits recessed into the ceiling, with a black plastic body and a frosted white diffuser that softens the light. It measures 16.6cm across and just 3.1cm high, so it suits a shallow ceiling void, and it needs a cut-out between 15 and 16cm wide. The LED is integrated, giving 1,360 lumens of warm white light at 3000K, so there is never a bulb to buy or change. It carries an IP20 rating, so it belongs indoors and dry, in living rooms, hallways, kitchens and bedrooms rather than a bathroom or a garden.
A black downlight reads as a crisp, defined ring on the ceiling, which suits darker schemes and rooms where the lighting should be part of the look. At 1,360 lumens, a single fitting gives a generous level of light, and a row of them can light a hallway, a kitchen worktop run or the area above a dining table. The warm 3000K tone sits at the cosy end of the scale, the kind of light that feels relaxed in an evening sitting room. We think it suits anyone updating a room who wants slim, tidy ceiling lights without a pendant hanging low.
Both the body and the shade are plastic, which keeps the whole downlight to just 0.1KG, and spring clips grip the ceiling to hold the black rim neatly in place. There is no switch on the light itself, as it is switched at the wall, and it runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains with an energy class of E. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions are available as a download. Should the LED ever need replacing, a specialist can change it. Before you order, check that the hole in your ceiling falls between 15 and 16cm.

Frequently Asked
Can this downlight go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for indoor rooms that stay dry, such as living rooms, hallways and bedrooms, rather than bathrooms or outdoor spaces.
What size hole does the downlight need?
It needs a cut-out between 15 and 16cm wide. The visible rim is 16.6cm across, so it sits neatly over the edge of the hole.
How bright is the Sisessa?
The integrated LED gives 1,360 lumens of warm white light at 3000K, a generous level of light for a single ceiling downlight in most rooms.
Does it take a bulb?
There is no bulb to fit. The LED is integrated into the downlight, and should it ever need replacing, a specialist can change it.
How deep is the downlight?
It is 3.1cm high, so it needs very little space above the ceiling, which helps wherever the void is shallow.
Does the downlight have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the light itself, so it is switched at the wall and runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains.
