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 750mA Sunset driver. Both are bought separately: the drivers that suit it are on/off, triac dimmable or DALI or push, and it seats in the 16.5cm recessed base, which comes in white, black or gold.
A compact round downlight built around a black LED engine, drawing 30W and tuned to 2700K, so the light falls warm rather than clinical. Colour rendering is high, which shows in the way it handles timber, paint and skin tones. The LED is integral, so there is no lamp to change and nothing to source later. A driver and a Sunset recessed base are chosen separately, which keeps the pairing entirely up to you. We stock the bases alongside it.
We use downlights like this where a ceiling should give light without showing much hardware: kitchens, hallways, landings and open-plan living rooms, and equally in studios and small retail spaces. It is one we suggest where a pendant would only sit in the way. It dims with the right driver, so a room can run bright for cooking and prep, then drop back for the evening. The 16cm size gives a wider pool than the smaller units in the range, which makes it a fair choice for taller rooms and for schemes where you would rather use fewer fittings. Keep it to dry indoor rooms: a kitchen or a hall, not a shower zone or an open porch.
The engine is black and double insulated, with the driver kept separate from the unit itself. Black keeps the aperture visually recessive, quiet against a dark ceiling and crisp against white. Care asks very little: switch off at the wall, let it cool, then take a dry soft cloth around the black rim and leave the optic alone, with no solvents and no polish. It carries a five year warranty. Bases in the Sunset range come in black, gold and white and in a spread of sizes, so you can pick a rim that matches the ceiling or one that deliberately reads against it.

Frequently Asked
Is the driver included?
No. The engine draws 30W and needs a 750mA Sunset driver, sold separately: on/off, triac dimmable or DALI or push. It also needs the 16.5cm Sunset recessed base to sit in, in white, black or gold.
Does it come with a driver?
No. The driver is bought separately, which lets you choose a fixed-output or dimmable version to suit the room.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided a dimmable driver is used. Paired with a standard driver it runs at full output only.
How bright is it, and what does the light look like?
It gives 2350 lumens at 2700K, a warm white with rendering above 90 CRI, so colours stay true under it.
Do I need a recessed base as well?
Yes. This engine is made to sit in a Sunset recessed base, and the 165 x 138mm base is the matching size.
What are the dimensions?
The unit measures 165mm in diameter and 138mm in height, and weighs 0.45kg.
Is there a lamp to replace over time?
No, the LED is integrated into the engine, so there is no separate lamp to buy or change.
