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 recessed downlight built around a black LED engine, so the light source and the housing are one unit. Output is a cool white at 4000K, which keeps whites clean and colours honest, and the 30W engine is generous enough to work as the main light rather than an accent. The beam is a medium spread, wide enough to wash a worktop or a run of shelving without scattering light where it is not wanted, and colour rendering is high, which shows in fabrics, food and artwork.
We would put these over kitchen islands and prep areas, along a hallway, or in a study where a shaded pendant would sit too low over a desk. They suit anyone planning lighting properly from the outset, because the engine runs on a separate driver rather than a built-in one, and a dimmable driver will bring the level down for evenings. The driver is bought separately, as is the recessed base the engine drops into, so you can choose the aperture that suits the room. We are happy to talk through which base and driver pairing to order alongside it.
The finish is black throughout, engine and visible face alike, so the fitting reads as a dark opening instead of a bright ring. It is double insulated and intended for dry interior rooms, away from splashes and weather. For upkeep, turn the circuit off and take a dry brush or a lint-free cloth lightly across the face to lift dust from the lens; nothing wet and no cleaning sprays near the optic. It carries a five year warranty. Because the LED is integral, there is no lamp to replace. Within this range we stock the matching recessed bases in black, gold and white, across a spread of apertures from the smallest trim up to the widest, so a single scheme can mix sizes and keep one consistent look overhead.

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.
Do I need anything else to use this downlight?
Yes, two things. It needs a recessed base from the Sunset range, and it needs a driver, as no driver is supplied with the engine. The 165 x 138mm base with a 150mm cut out is the match for this size.
Can it be dimmed?
It can, provided you pair it with a dimmable driver. The engine itself has no dimming built in, so the driver choice decides whether you get dimming.
How much light does it give?
The system flux is 2690 lumens at 30W, delivered at 4000K cool white with a 50 degree beam. Colour rendering is above 90, so colours stay true.
What size is it?
The engine measures 165mm in diameter and 138mm in height, and it weighs 0.45kg.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outside soffit?
No. It is rated IP20, which means dry indoor rooms only, with no exposure to splashing or weather.
Will the LED need replacing?
The LED is integrated, so there is no separate lamp to change. The unit carries a five year warranty.
