Vega LED Round Surface Downlight 8W 3000K - Black

The Vega is a 90mm diameter surface-mounted LED downlight with an integrated 8W 3000K LED housed in a matt black aluminium cylinder. The fitting sits 60mm proud of the ceiling surface and directs light downwards through a textured diffuser that softens the beam and reduces glare. The 90 CRI rating means colours under the Vega appear closer to how they would under natural daylight compared to standard 80 CRI LED downlights.

Designed for rooms where recessed downlights are not practical due to shallow ceiling voids, solid ceilings, or listed building restrictions, the Vega provides downlight function without cutting into the ceiling structure. The surface-mounted format suits hallways, corridors, bedrooms, bathrooms (dry zones only — IP20 rating), and stairwells. The fitting wires directly into mains voltage (AC 220-240V) via a ceiling rose or junction box above the ceiling surface, with the cable concealed by the cylindrical body once fitted.

The matt black aluminium finish absorbs rather than reflects ambient light, making the fitting visually recessive against dark or neutral ceilings. The 8W output and 3000K colour temperature provide warm accent lighting suitable for residential spaces where full room illumination comes from other sources, or the Vega can be installed in multiples to provide primary lighting in smaller rooms up to 6-8m². The aluminium construction dissipates heat efficiently, extending LED lifespan and maintaining consistent light output over the 5-year warranty period.

Product Manual

Is the Vega dimmable?

The integrated 8W LED is not dimmable. The fitting operates at fixed brightness on standard mains switching and is not compatible with dimmer switches.

Can it be used in bathrooms?

The IP20 rating means the Vega is suitable for dry bathroom zones only (Zone 3, more than 2.25m from water sources). It is not rated for use directly above baths, showers or basins.

What ceiling void depth is required?

The Vega is surface-mounted, so no ceiling void is required. The fitting sits on the ceiling surface with wiring accessed from above via a standard ceiling rose or junction box. This makes it suitable for solid ceilings, shallow voids, or situations where recessed downlights cannot be fitted.

What beam angle does it produce?

Maytoni does not specify the exact beam angle for the Vega in the technical data, but the textured diffuser and cylindrical housing suggest a focused downward beam rather than wide flood. The fitting works best as accent or task lighting rather than ambient room lighting when used individually.
