The Nella Surface Mounted LED Downlight offers a clean, architectural lighting solution suited to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its aluminium body with a powder-coated black or white finish delivers a modern look that integrates easily into contemporary designs. The included honeycomb lens helps minimise glare while providing focused and comfortable illumination. With five selectable colour temperatures, you can easily customise the lighting to suit different environments and applications. An IP65 rating makes it suitable for bathrooms, alfresco areas, and other spaces exposed to moisture.
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 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.
Outdoors, use a weatherproof IP66 12v driver and mount it above ground, clear of garden beds and pooling water.
