Its clean, minimalist design provides wide and even illumination, making it perfect for kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, and covered outdoor areas. Constructed from durable aluminium with a powder-coated finish, it offers both style and long-lasting performance. With TRI colour selection and dimming capability on the 240V model, this downlight delivers flexible lighting to suit a variety of settings.

Choosing a driver
The 12v DC version runs on low voltage and needs a 12v LED driver, installed by a licensed electrician. The 240v version wires straight to mains and does not need a driver.
Allow 7w for each downlight and add about 20% headroom. 7 downlights draw 49w, so they need a 12v driver of at least 59w, which in practice means a 60w driver.

For bigger installs, split the lights across two or more drivers and place each driver close to its group. Long cable runs at low voltage lose brightness at the far end, so check your cable size with our voltage drop calculator.
Indoors, an indoor 12v driver mounted in the ceiling space works well. If the light is going outdoors or under eaves, use a weatherproof IP66 12v driver.
To dim, pair it with a dimmable 12v driver and a compatible dimmer.
