Description
The driver is not included, and neither is the recessed base. This is the Sunset LED engine on its own: the light source that drops into a Sunset base and runs from a 250mA Sunset driver. Both are bought separately: the drivers that suit it are on/off or triac dimmable, and it seats in the 85mm recessed base, which comes in white, black or gold.
This is the light engine at the heart of the Sunset range: a small black cylinder that sits inside a recessed base and does the work of lighting the room. The integrated LED draws 10W and gives 800 lumens of warm white light at 3000K, with colour rendering high enough that timber, paint and fabric keep their proper tone. It arrives with the LED built in, so there is no lamp to fit or replace. The beam is a broad pool rather than a tight spot, so a run of them washes a surface evenly instead of dotting it.
We reach for these where a ceiling needs light without a fitting on show: kitchens, halls, dressing areas and above a run of shelving. The warm tone is the easy choice for living spaces, where a cooler white can feel clinical. Because the engine and the base are bought separately, you can choose the trim size and finish to suit the ceiling and keep the same light quality throughout. A driver is needed and is not supplied with the engine; pick a dimmable one if you want the level on a dimmer. Keep it to rooms that stay dry, away from shower zones and anywhere it might be splashed.
The finish is black throughout, so the engine recedes into a black base and gives a deliberate dark eye to a white or gold one. It is double insulated. When it needs attention, switch off at the wall, let it cool, then take dust off the lens with a dry cloth and nothing damp. We stock the matching recessed bases in black, gold and white, in sizes from the smallest aperture up to the widest trim, so a whole house can be kept to one look.

Frequently Asked
Is the driver included?
No. The engine draws 10W and needs a 250mA Sunset driver, sold separately: on/off or triac dimmable. It also needs the 85mm Sunset recessed base to sit in, in white, black or gold.
Do I need to buy anything else with this?
Yes, two things. It needs a Sunset recessed base, which sets the aperture and the visible trim finish, and it needs an LED driver, as one is not supplied with the engine.
What size is the engine itself?
It measures 85mm in diameter and 87mm in height, and pairs with the Sunset 85 x 87mm recessed base, which takes a 75mm cut out.
Can it be dimmed?
It can, provided it is run from a dimmable driver. Fed by a non-dimmable driver it will simply run at full output.
How warm is the light, and will colours look right?
It runs at 3000K, a soft warm white, with a colour rendering index above 90, so skin tones, wood and paint colours stay true.
How much light does it give?
800 lumens from 10W, spread over a 50 degree beam, which suits general ceiling lighting rather than tight accent work.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a five year warranty.
