The Nella surface mounted LED downlight delivers a sleek and modern lighting solution with dependable performance. Finished in durable powder-coated aluminium, it is designed to suit both residential and commercial spaces. The integrated honeycomb lens reduces glare while maintaining focused illumination. With multiple colour temperature options and dimming available on the 240V model, it offers flexibility to suit a wide range of applications.
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 18w for each downlight and add about 20% headroom. 2 downlights draw 36w, so they need a 12v driver of at least 44w, 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.
