Zephra 81cm Dimmable LED Flush Ceiling Light 42W 3000K - Black

The Zephra is an 81cm diameter flush ceiling light with an integrated 42W 3000K LED set behind an opal polycarbonate diffuser in a powder-coated black metal frame. The fitting sits just 35mm below the ceiling line, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights under 2.4m where a pendant would hang too low or feel visually heavy.

Designed for open-plan living rooms, large kitchens, dining areas and commercial spaces where ambient overhead light is needed without reducing perceived ceiling height, the Zephra provides 42W of warm white LED light distributed evenly across a wide throw. The dimmable driver allows brightness adjustment from full output down to approximately 10%, giving control over light levels for different times of day and activities. The IP20 rating limits the fitting to dry indoor spaces only.

The matt black powder-coated frame provides a defined edge to the otherwise minimal fitting, working in both contemporary and industrial interiors without dominating the ceiling plane. The opal polycarbonate diffuser softens the LED source behind it, eliminating visible hotspots or shadowing across the ceiling. At 81cm diameter the Zephra suits rooms of 20-30m² where a smaller flush fitting would underlight the space, but larger rooms may benefit from pairing two or more Zephras on a grid.

The integrated LED removes the need to source or replace bulbs separately, and Ideal Lux back the fitting with a 5-year warranty covering both the driver and LED array.

Is the Zephra compatible with dimmer switches?

Yes. The integrated LED driver is dimmable and works with most leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers rated for LED loads. Dimmer compatibility varies by manufacturer — contact us if you need confirmation for a specific dimmer model before purchase.

What room size does the 81cm Zephra suit?

The 42W output and 81cm diameter suit rooms of approximately 20-30m² (a 5m x 5m space or similar). Smaller rooms may be over-lit at full brightness, while larger open-plan areas above 30m² may benefit from pairing two Zephras on opposite ends of the ceiling.

Can it be fitted to low ceilings?

Yes. The 35mm profile sits tight to the ceiling, making it suitable for rooms with ceiling heights under 2.4m where a pendant would feel too low or visually intrusive. The flush mount also works in loft conversions and period properties with irregular ceiling lines.

What is the IP20 rating?

IP20 means the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm (fingers, tools) but has no moisture protection. It is suitable for dry indoor rooms only — not bathrooms, kitchens directly above hobs, or outdoor covered areas.
