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 150mA 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 65mm recessed base, which comes in white, black or gold.
A small black LED engine that sits inside a recessed base and gives a tight, clean pool of light rather than a broad wash. It draws 6W and puts out cool white at 4000K, which keeps worktops, tiling and paintwork looking crisp instead of creamy. At 65mm across it reads as a neat dark circle in the ceiling, quiet enough to repeat down a run. A driver is required and sold separately, as is the base the engine drops into.
We reach for engines like this where the light has a job to do: over a kitchen run, above a stair, along a hallway where a pendant would be in the way, or picking out shelves and pictures in a sitting room. The cooler tone suits task areas and rooms with pale walls and hard surfaces better than a soft, warm scheme. It will dim, provided the driver paired with it is a dimming type. Keep it to dry rooms indoors, away from showers and anywhere it would meet damp air.
The engine is a self-contained unit with its LED built in, finished in black so the aperture stays dark against a light ceiling. Dust the visible rim with a dry cloth once the power is off and the unit has cooled, and keep sprays and solvents away from the lens. It carries a five year warranty. Bases in the range are offered in black, gold and white across a spread of sizes, so the engine can sit in a plain black surround for something understated, or in gold where the ceiling detail asks for a little warmth. We would order the two together so the aperture size and the finish are settled in one go.

Frequently Asked
Is the driver included?
No. The engine draws 6W and needs a 150mA Sunset driver, sold separately: on/off, triac dimmable or DALI or push. It also needs the 65mm Sunset recessed base to sit in, in white, black or gold.
Is a driver supplied with it?
No, the driver is bought separately. If you want the light to dim, choose a dimming driver, as the engine itself dims only through the driver.
Does it need a separate base?
Yes. It fits a Sunset recessed base, and the 65 x 74mm base with a 55mm cut out is the one sized to match this 65mm engine.
How much light does it give?
560 lumens from 6W, at 4000K cool white, in a 50 degree beam that is broad enough for general light but still directional.
Will the colours in a room look true under it?
Yes. Colour rendering is above 90, so fabrics, food and artwork keep their proper tone.
Can it go in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated IP20, which suits dry indoor ceilings such as kitchens, hallways and living rooms rather than wet or exposed positions.
Is the LED replaceable?
No, the LED is integrated into the engine, so the unit is replaced as a whole at the end of its life.
