Description
The largest of the Sunset recessed bases, this one shows a slim black ring at the ceiling and very little else. It measures 215mm across the face, with a body that sits well back above it. The base is non-electric, holding no lamp holder or driver of its own, so the light comes from the fitting it is paired with. We like black at this size: a wide aperture in a pale ceiling can read as a hole, and the dark finish settles it.
It earns its place in rooms where you want the light and not the fitting: kitchens, hallways, a study, an open-plan living space. We reach for the wide one over an island or a long run of worktop, where a broader pool of light does more than a scatter of small apertures, and keep the narrow sizes for corridors and edges. It is a sensible choice in a room with height, where a pendant would hang into the way of things, and it suits anyone rethinking a ceiling that already has too much on it.
The visible face is black, so the fitting stays quiet whether the light is on or off. Dust gathers around a recess more readily than you would expect, and a dry brush or the soft head of a vacuum run round the rim once in a while keeps the edge crisp; in a kitchen, wipe cooking film away before it dulls the finish. It carries a three year warranty. Black is the one we stock most of at this size. The Sunset range runs to four smaller sizes and is also made in gold and white, so a scheme can be matched throughout or mixed on purpose.

Frequently Asked
Does this base include a light source?
No. It is a non-electric base, so it carries no lamp holder, no driver and no LED module. The light source belongs to the fitting you pair it with.
What are the overall dimensions?
It is 215mm in diameter with a height of 152mm, and the aperture it works to is 200mm.
What other sizes are in the Sunset range?
Four smaller sizes sit below this one: 65 x 74mm, 85 x 87mm, 108 x 98mm and 165 x 138mm, with apertures of 55mm, 75mm, 95mm and 150mm respectively.
Is it made in other finishes?
Yes. Every size in the Sunset range, including this one, is made in black, gold and white.
How should I clean it?
Dry dusting is enough for most rooms. Run a soft brush or a vacuum brush head around the rim, and in a kitchen lift any greasy film with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight after. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams on the black finish.
