Description
A plain black ring, a shallow body behind it, and nothing else to look at: this is recessed lighting doing its job quietly. The visible face is 8.5cm across and it drops into a 68mm cut-out, one of the most common sizes going. It holds a GU10 lamp of up to 12W, and we would put a reflector LED in it for a tidy, directed pool of light rather than a wide wash.
Because it is sealed against dust and splashes, it earns a place in kitchens, utility rooms and bathroom ceilings, and it is equally at home over a hallway, a landing or a stair. Switching is straightforward: it works on an ordinary on/off circuit rather than a dimmer, so it suits rooms where you want full light the moment you walk in. We reach for a run of these where a pendant or a spotlight bar would crowd a low ceiling, and the black face is worth considering if your ceiling is dark or you would rather the fittings read as shadows than bright spots.
The body is double insulated, and the black finish carries across the ring and the visible edge so the whole thing looks of a piece once it is in. Dust settles on any ceiling detail, so give the ring an occasional pass with a dry cloth, and leave anything damper until the power is off and the lamp is cold. It carries a one year warranty. The same round face comes in white, and there is a square version of both if you prefer a sharper line above a run of units or a worktop. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size hole does it need?
It is designed for a 68mm cut-out. The trim measures 85mm in diameter, so it covers the aperture with a modest overlap, and the body is 42mm deep.
Which lamp should I use?
A GU10 lamp rated up to 12W. We suggest an LED with a 50mm reflector for a controlled beam. Lamps are supplied separately.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
No, this one is non-dimmable and should be run on a standard on/off switch. If you want dimming in the same room, plan it on a separate circuit with dimmable fittings.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or a shower room ceiling?
It is rated IP54, which covers dust and splashing water, so it is at home in bathrooms, en suites and utility spaces. Zone requirements should always be checked for the specific position.
How do I keep the black finish looking even?
A dry cloth over the visible ring is usually all it takes. For anything more, switch off at the consumer unit and let the lamp cool first, then use a barely damp cloth and no solvents or abrasive creams.
How heavy is it?
Around 0.13kg, so it is a light fitting to handle and easy to work with overhead.
