Description
This is the recessed base only. The spotlight head is not included. The base sits in a 53mm cut-out and gives a Trimasi head a home in the ceiling; the head is bought separately, in sand gold, sand white or sand black.
This is the recessed half of the Trimasi range: a small black base that sits into the ceiling line so only a slim rim reads from below. The sand black finish is a fine, soft matt, dark enough to look like a shadow in a white ceiling rather than a fitting stuck onto it. It asks for a 53mm cut-out, and the body behind is short, which keeps the whole piece compact in every direction. There is no lamp and no driver in this part; it is the housing side, made to take a spotlight from the same range.
We would use this where the ceiling needs to stay quiet: a hallway run, a landing, a line above a kitchen worktop, or a single point over shelving or a reading chair. Because the aperture is narrow, the light arrives as a tight pool rather than a wash, which suits accenting a picture, a splashback or a stair edge. It is also the one we choose when several small openings look better than one larger fitting, since a row of them keeps the ceiling reading as a plane. Black suits a dark ceiling, or a scheme where the openings should vanish by day.
The base is finished in the same sand texture used across the range, so a black spotlight and a black base sit together without a change of tone. Keep it clean by running a dry cloth over the visible rim now and then; the textured finish hides marks well, and avoid cream cleaners and solvents, which dull it. It carries a three year warranty. We stock this base in sand white as well, and in a larger size in both finishes, with matching spotlights in sand gold if you prefer a warmer trim.

Frequently Asked
Is the spotlight head included?
No. The base is the ceiling housing on its own. The Trimasi heads that drop into it come in sand gold, sand white or sand black.
What size opening does this base suit?
It measures 60mm across the outer rim and 31mm from front to back, and it is made for a 53mm aperture.
Which spotlight does it go with?
It is part of the Trimasi range and takes a Trimasi spotlight head. Two round base sizes are offered, this 60 x 31mm version and a larger 82 x 43mm one, so match the base to the head you have chosen.
Does it come with a lamp or a driver?
No. This is a non-electrical part with no lamp, driver or wiring. The Trimasi spotlight heads are supplied with their driver.
How should I clean the sand black finish?
A dry cloth or a soft brush is usually enough. For a stubborn mark, use a barely damp cloth and dry it off straight away, and keep solvents and cream cleaners away from the matt surface.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a three year warranty.
Can I get it in another colour?
Yes, the same 60 x 31mm base is also offered in sand white.
