The Nella Surface Mounted LED Downlight is a compact and modern lighting solution designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. Its aluminium body with a powder-coated black or white finish delivers a clean architectural look that suits contemporary spaces. The integrated honeycomb lens helps reduce glare while providing focused, comfortable illumination. With five selectable colour temperatures, the light can easily be adjusted to suit different environments and design preferences. Built with an IP65 rating, it is well suited for areas exposed to moisture such as bathrooms, alfresco areas, and outdoor ceilings.
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.
Outdoors, use a weatherproof IP66 12v driver and mount it above ground, clear of garden beds and pooling water.
