Description
This is the recessed base only. The LED engine and its driver are not included. The base is the housing that sits in the 200mm cut-out; the Sunset engine that lights it and the driver that runs it are chosen separately. The engines that fit this base are the 30W 2700K, 40W 2700K, 30W 3000K, 40W 3000K, 30W 4000K or 40W 4000K, each with its own matching driver.
Sunset is a range of plain recessed bases, and this is the largest of them: a circle 215mm across the face, with a deep body behind it and a white finish. The visible edge is quiet, a simple ring with nothing on show to catch the eye, so once it is in place it reads as a clean disc in the ceiling rather than a piece of hardware. It is non-electrical, so the base does the shaping and the light source is specified alongside it.
We reach for the bigger Sunset bases where a room is better served by fewer, wider pools of light than by a grid of small apertures: a broad hallway, the area over a kitchen island, a sitting room with generous ceiling height. White on white means the rim more or less vanishes into a painted ceiling, which suits anyone who wants the light and not the fitting. It is one we would specify for indoor rooms about the house, whether in a matched run down a corridor or as a single point over a table or a favourite chair.
The base is white right through, front face and body alike, so there is no contrasting edge to draw the eye once the ceiling is finished. It carries a three year warranty. Looking after it is nothing more than a dry cloth over the rim when you dust the room, with the light switched off and cool beforehand, and no scouring pads or solvents near the white. We stock this size in black and gold too, and the white in four smaller diameters, which is useful if you want the same detail scaled down through a hallway and up again over an island. The base comes on its own, ready for the light source you choose.

Frequently Asked
Is the LED engine included?
No. This listing is the recessed base alone. Choose a Sunset engine to sit in it - the 30W 2700K, 40W 2700K, 30W 3000K, 40W 3000K, 30W 4000K or 40W 4000K - and the driver that matches the engine you pick.
What size aperture does this base need?
It is made for a 200mm cut out. The face measures 215mm across, so the rim sits a little proud of the opening all the way round.
How deep is it?
The body stands 152mm from the face, so it wants a reasonable void behind it.
Does it come with a lamp or driver?
No. It is a non-electrical base, so the light source and its gear are chosen separately to suit.
What colours is this size made in?
White, black and gold. The smaller Sunset bases, at 65mm, 85mm, 108mm and 165mm, come in the same three finishes.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 0.83kg.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a three year warranty.
