Description
The Tavo is a round recessed LED downlight that drops into the ceiling to give a flush, neutral finish. It draws 18W and puts out 1900 lumens of 4000K natural white light through a wide 120 degree beam, so the spread stays even rather than tightly focused. North American buyers will recognise this format as a recessed can light, though here the LED is integrated rather than taking a separate lamp. The fitting measures Ø170 across and just 26mm deep, which keeps the void requirement shallow behind the trim.
Its 1900 lumens cover around 6 m² at general lighting levels, which makes it a sensible building block for hallways, landings and smaller rooms where you want a clean run of recessed points spaced across the ceiling. With an IP44 rating the Tavo is splash-resistant, so it also suits bathroom zones away from direct spray and sheltered spots such as a porch or carport soffit. It is not built for fully exposed positions, direct water jets or anywhere it could be submerged. For a standard 2.4m ceiling the 120 degree beam keeps the floor below well lit without obvious dark gaps between fittings.
Construction is a white plastic body and trim, finished to sit discreetly against a painted ceiling. The 26mm depth lets it recess into shallow voids, and it is rated IP44 to the front face with the standard IP20 behind. The natural white 4000K output is fixed rather than colour selectable, and the unit is not dimmable, so it is best paired with a plain switched circuit. Rated for 25,000 hours, it runs at 106 lm/W for steady efficiency. The Tavo range includes further sizes and outputs if you need to match downlights across larger ceilings.

Frequently Asked
What cut-out size does this downlight need?
The Tavo measures Ø170mm across the visible trim, so plan your ceiling cut-out to suit the recessed housing behind that face. Always check the supplied installation diagram for the exact aperture before cutting, as the cut-out is slightly smaller than the outer trim diameter.
Can I use this in a bathroom?
Yes, within the right zone. Its IP44 rating makes it splash-resistant and suitable for sheltered bathroom positions away from direct spray. It should not be fitted where it would face a direct water jet or be exposed to standing water.
Is the Tavo dimmable?
No, this version is not dimmable, so it is best wired to a standard on/off switched circuit. Pairing it with a dimmer is not recommended and may cause flicker or shorten the life of the fitting.
How do I clean the fitting once installed?
Wipe the white trim and lens with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth once the power is off and the unit has cooled. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can mark the plastic finish over time.
