The Nella surface mounted LED downlight is a compact and stylish lighting option designed for focused illumination. Finished in durable powder-coated aluminium, it suits both residential and commercial interiors. The integrated honeycomb lens helps reduce glare while delivering controlled light output. With multiple colour temperature options and dimming available on the 240V model, it offers flexible lighting control in smaller spaces.
12v model must be used with a suitable 12v DC LED Driver
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.
