Tavo 220x220 24W Square LED Downlight - White

The Tavo LED DL is a square recessed LED downlight drawing 24W and giving out 2600 lumens at a neutral 4000K white. With a wide 120 degree beam it spreads light evenly rather than pinning it to one spot, so a single fitting washes the area below in soft general light. Measuring 225 x 225 mm and just 26 mm deep, it sets flush into the ceiling for a clean surface with no protruding body. American buyers shopping for a recessed can light or square trim version will find this fills the same role, here in a low-profile plastic format rather than a deep housing.

The neutral white tone and broad spread make this a practical choice for kitchens, hallways, utility areas and bathroom ceilings, where its IP44 rating allows use in splash-prone and sheltered spots. At general lighting levels its 2600 lumens cover around 9 m², so a few units laid out across a ceiling light a typical kitchen or landing comfortably. The IP44 protection also suits covered outdoor positions such as a porch or carport soffit, though it should be kept clear of fully exposed locations, direct water jets or any submersion. Standard ceiling heights of around 2.4 to 2.7 metres suit it well, with spacing kept even for consistent coverage.

Built from white plastic with a square profile, the Tavo runs on 220 to 240V AC mains and is rated IP44 against splashes and dust at the front face. It is a recessed fitting that drops into a ceiling cut-out, and the integrated LED array gives a rated life of around 25,000 hours, so there is no separate bulb to replace. Note this model is not dimmable, so it pairs with a standard switch rather than a dimmer. The Tavo range includes further sizes and wattages if you need to match output across different rooms.

What size cut-out does this downlight need?

The Tavo measures 225 x 225 mm square overall with a shallow 26 mm depth. The cut-out is the square aperture the body drops into, which sits just inside the visible trim dimension. Always confirm the exact recess size against the fitting before cutting, as the cut-out is smaller than the overall trim face.

Can it be used in a bathroom or covered outdoor area?

Yes, the IP44 rating makes it suitable for bathroom ceilings in splash zones and for sheltered outdoor spots such as a porch or carport soffit. It should not be used in fully exposed positions, in the path of direct water jets, or anywhere it could be submerged.

Is this downlight dimmable?

No, this model is not dimmable and should be wired to a standard on or off switch rather than a dimmer circuit. Using it with a dimmer can cause flicker or shorten the life of the LED. If you need adjustable brightness, look for a dimmable fitting in the range instead.

How many will I need for a room?

Each fitting puts out 2600 lumens at 4000K, covering around 9 m² at general lighting levels. A standard kitchen or hallway is usually well served by several units spaced evenly across the ceiling. Plan the layout so the wide 120 degree beams overlap for consistent coverage with no dark patches.
