Solix LED Recessed Downlight 7W 4000K - Black

The Solix is a 90mm recessed LED downlight with an integrated 7W LED module housed in a painted black extruded aluminium body. The opal polycarbonate diffuser sits flush with the ceiling surface and spreads 4000K neutral white light evenly across the beam pattern, reducing glare and hot-spotting in fixed-position installations.

Designed for commercial, hospitality and residential spaces where functional ceiling lighting is needed without visible fixtures, the Solix suits hallways, kitchens, offices, retail interiors and bathrooms (with appropriate zoning for IP20). The 90mm diameter requires a matching cut-out in plasterboard or suspended ceiling tiles, and the shallow body profile fits most ceiling voids with limited plenum depth. The black finish contrasts against white ceilings or blends into darker ceiling treatments.

The extruded aluminium construction conducts heat away from the LED module, contributing to the long-term reliability of the integrated light source. The 4000K colour temperature sits between warm white and daylight, providing neutral task-appropriate light that does not shift colour perception strongly in either warm or cool directions. The opal diffuser softens the LED array behind it, presenting as a uniform white disc when lit rather than showing individual diodes.

Is the Solix dimmable?

No. The integrated 7W LED module is not compatible with dimmer switches. For installations requiring dimming control, a different model would be needed.

What ceiling void depth is required?

The Solix has a shallow body profile designed for standard plasterboard and suspended ceiling installations. A minimum void depth of approximately 50-60mm is typically required, though the exact depth depends on the specific installation context and any additional insulation or fire-rated requirements.

Can it be used in bathrooms?

The IP20 rating means the Solix is suitable for general indoor use but not for direct exposure to water spray. In UK bathrooms it can be installed in zones outside the direct splash areas (typically Zone 3 or outside zones), but not directly above baths or showers where IP44 or higher is required.

What colour temperature is 4000K?

4000K is classified as neutral white or cool white. It sits between the warmer 2700-3000K range used in living spaces and the cooler 5000-6500K daylight range. It provides functional task lighting without the yellow-orange cast of warm white or the blue-white cast of daylight LEDs.
