Description
This is the recessed base only. The spotlight head is not included. The base sits in a 73mm 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 plain round housing from our Trimasi range, finished in a soft sand white. It needs a 73mm cut-out and measures 82mm across the outer edge, so the visible ring stays narrow and the fitting reads as a small circle of white rather than a piece of hardware. There is no lamp socket in the base itself: it is the quiet part of the assembly, made to receive a Trimasi spotlight module and hold it steady. We like it for ceilings where the light should be felt and not looked at.
It suits hallways, landings, kitchens and living rooms where several light points run in a line and the eye ought to pass straight over them. Sand white sits comfortably against painted and off-white ceilings, so a row of them all but disappears when the lights are off. We reach for this size where the smaller base in the range would give too tight an aperture for the spread wanted, and we would keep it to the dry, heated rooms of a house. Anyone working through a whole floor at once will find the cost per light point helpful.
The base is light in the hand and neatly finished, the matt surface holding no shine and showing very little in the way of marks. To keep it looking right, run a dry cloth around the rim occasionally; nothing damp, and nothing abrasive that could scuff the paint. It carries a three year warranty. We stock the same base in sand black, a smaller version in both sand white and sand black, and Trimasi spotlights in sand white, sand black and sand gold, so a ceiling can be kept to one finish or mixed on purpose. The light module is bought separately.
