Description
The Solace is a 42mm round surface-mounted LED downlight with a white powder-coated aluminium body housing an integrated 4W LED at 4000K. The LED sits behind a transparent satin acrylic diffuser that spreads the light evenly downwards, giving glare-free illumination suitable for close viewing in kitchens, hallways, home offices and corridors.
Designed as a low-profile surface fitting rather than a recessed downlight, the Solace mounts directly onto the ceiling without requiring a cut-out or back box. The 42mm diameter and shallow cylindrical form make it unobtrusive on white or light-toned ceilings, and the surface-mount design allows it to be fitted in ceiling constructions where recessed downlights are impractical. The IP20 rating limits use to dry indoor areas.
The white powder-coated finish on the aluminium body resists yellowing and provides a durable surface that pairs cleanly with white ceilings and minimalist interiors. The integrated LED delivers cool white light at 4000K, which suits task lighting applications and spaces where clarity is needed without the warmer tone of 2700K-3000K bulbs. The downlight is dimmable, allowing output to be reduced when lower ambient light is needed.

Frequently Asked
Is the Solace dimmable?
Yes. The integrated LED is dimmable when paired with a compatible LED dimmer. Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific dimmer model and load, so confirm with the dimmer manufacturer or contact us before pairing.
Does it require a ceiling cut-out?
No. The Solace is a surface-mounted downlight, meaning it fixes directly to the ceiling surface without needing a recessed cut-out or back box. This makes it suitable for solid ceilings where recessing is not possible.
What colour temperature is 4000K?
4000K is a cool white light, neutral to slightly blue-white in tone. It sits between warm white (2700K-3000K) and daylight white (5000K-6500K), and is commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, offices and task lighting where clarity is preferred over warmth.
Can it be used in bathrooms?
The IP20 rating means the Solace is not protected against water ingress, so it should only be installed in dry areas away from showers, baths and basins. For bathroom use, a downlight with IP44 or IP65 rating is required.
