Tavo 24W Ø220 LED Downlight Recessed - White

The Tavo is a round recessed LED downlight drawing 24W and producing 2600 lumens from its integrated array. It runs on 220-240V AC mains and casts a neutral 4000K cool white tone across a wide 120 degree spread, giving even, low-shadow coverage from the ceiling line. American buyers shopping for a recessed can light will recognise the format here, a flush in-ceiling fitting that sits clean against the surface with no protruding housing. With an efficiency of 108 lm/W, it puts out a generous amount of light for its wattage.

The wide 120 degree beam and 2600 lumen output make the Tavo well suited to general room lighting, covering around 9 m² at general lighting levels, so a cluster of three or four spread across a ceiling will comfortably light a kitchen, hallway or open landing. The IP44 rating means it also copes with splashes and sheltered damp, so it can be used in bathroom zones away from direct spray and in covered outdoor spots such as a porch or carport. It is not built for fully exposed positions, direct water jets or submersion, so keep it clear of open weather. For ceilings of standard domestic height the neutral 4000K tone reads bright and clean without feeling clinical.

Built with a plastic body in a white finish, the Tavo measures Ø225 by 26 mm and weighs just 236 g, so it sits shallow in the ceiling void and is easy to handle during a run of installs. It recesses into the ceiling through a cut-out and is held in place by sprung clips, with no separate driver to specify as the gear is integral. The fitting is not dimmable and is rated for 25,000 hours of use. Colour rendering sits at Ra 80, ample for everyday spaces.

Can the Tavo be used in a bathroom?

Yes, its IP44 rating means it resists splashes and sheltered damp, so it is suitable for bathroom zones positioned away from direct water spray. It should not be sited where it would face direct water jets or be exposed to standing water.

What size cut-out hole does it need?

The Tavo recesses into the ceiling through a circular cut-out, which is smaller than the Ø225 mm overall trim diameter that sits visible on the surface. Always confirm the cut-out against the supplied installation guide before drilling, as the trim and the hole are not the same measurement.

How many do I need for a room?

Each fitting covers around 9 m² at general lighting levels thanks to its 2600 lumen output and wide 120 degree beam. For a typical kitchen or hallway, three to four units spread evenly across the ceiling will give balanced, low-shadow coverage.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the white surface gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth once the fitting is switched off and cool. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents on the plastic finish, as these can dull or mark it over time.
