Tavo 170x170 18W LED Downlight Square - White

The Tavo LED DL is a recessed square downlight running 18W direct from a 220-240V AC supply, with an integrated LED rated at 1900 lumens and a neutral white 4000K tone. Its wide 120 degree beam spreads light evenly across the space below rather than throwing a tight pool, which suits it to general room lighting. American buyers searching for a recessed can light or square trim will recognise the format, though this is a slim plastic fitting that sits flush in the ceiling rather than a deep canister. At 106 lm/W it gives a useful output for its modest draw, and the square 170 by 170 mm face keeps the visible trim compact.

Each fitting covers around 6 m² at general lighting levels, so a small bathroom, hallway, utility room or compact kitchen is typically served by two or three units spaced evenly across the ceiling. With its IP44 rating it handles splash and sheltered locations, making it appropriate for bathroom zones away from direct spray and for covered outdoor spots such as a porch or carport. It is not built for fully exposed positions, direct water jets or submersion. The neutral 4000K output reads as a clean, practical white that works well in task and washing areas without feeling cold.

Built from plastic with a white finish, the Tavo measures 170 by 170 by 26 mm and weighs just 168 g, so it adds very little load to the ceiling structure. It recesses into a ceiling cut-out and is held by spring clips, giving a flush square appearance once installed. The fitting is not dimmable and carries a fixed 4000K colour temperature, with a rated lifespan of 25,000 hours and an IP44/20 rating. Wider square and round options sit alongside it in the Tavo range for matching different rooms.

Can this downlight be used in a bathroom?

Yes, its IP44 rating means it resists splashing and is suited to bathroom zones away from direct spray, as well as sheltered spots like a porch. Keep it clear of areas exposed to direct water jets or where it would be submerged.

What size cut-out does it need?

The Tavo recesses into the ceiling and is secured with spring clips. Plan the cut-out to suit the recessed body and allow clearance behind the 170 by 170 mm square face, and check there is room above the 26 mm depth before fixing.

Is this downlight dimmable?

No, the Tavo is not a dimmable fitting, so it should be wired to a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer circuit. It runs directly from a 220-240V AC supply.

How do I clean the downlight?

Wipe the white front gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth once the fitting is switched off and cool. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh solvents on the plastic so the finish stays clean and clear.
