Yin 12W LED Round Recessed Downlight 4000K - White

The Yin is a 12W LED recessed downlight with a 98mm diameter white aluminium bezel and integrated LED delivering 4000K cool white light. The LED sits behind a prismatic diffuser that spreads light evenly across a ceiling zone without visible hotspots or striping, making it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, offices and commercial spaces where task visibility matters more than warm ambience.

Designed for standard plasterboard ceilings with a minimum 75mm void depth, the downlight uses spring clips to grip the ceiling cut-out and the white bezel sits flush with the ceiling surface once installed. The 4000K colour temperature produces a neutral white that sits between the warmer 3000K residential tone and the clinical 6000K of warehouse lighting, offering clarity for food preparation, office desks and retail displays without the harsh blue cast of higher temperatures.

The aluminium construction and IP20 rating make the Yin suitable for dry indoor environments. The CRI 90 rating means colours appear close to how they would under natural daylight, which matters in kitchens where food appearance influences cooking decisions, and in retail or showroom settings where product colour accuracy is important. The integrated LED eliminates the need for separate bulbs and the driver is built into the fitting.

Maytoni offers this fitting with dimmable driver options on some product codes — check the SKU suffix or contact us to confirm whether this specific unit supports dimming before pairing with a dimmer switch.

Product Manual

What ceiling void depth is required?

The Yin requires a minimum 75mm ceiling void depth to accommodate the LED driver and heat sink assembly. The 98mm diameter bezel sits flush with the ceiling surface once the fitting is clipped into the cut-out.

Is this downlight dimmable?

Dimmability depends on the specific driver fitted to this SKU. Some Maytoni Yin models carry dimmable drivers, others do not. Contact us with the SKU (DL031-L12W4K-W) to confirm before purchasing if you need dimming capability.

What is the light output?

The 12W integrated LED provides equivalent output to a traditional 60-75W halogen downlight. The exact lumen figure is not listed in the specification, but 4000K at 12W typically delivers around 900-1100 lumens depending on driver efficiency.

Can this be used in a bathroom?

The IP20 rating means the Yin is suitable for dry indoor environments only. It can be used in bathrooms outside of the defined wet zones (typically Zone 0, 1, 2 as per BS 7671). For placement directly above a bath or shower enclosure, an IP44 or IP65-rated fitting is required.
