Basic LED 3-Step Flush Ceiling Light 29cm 12W - Opal

Description

Description
Basic is a ceiling light in opal. A plain opal dome, low and broad, closed at its edge by a thin white rim that barely stands proud of the glass. The dome is a smooth continuous curve with no ribs, no pattern and nothing printed on it, and it reads as an even white disc from the floor. The opal is thick enough that no lamp shows through as a point anywhere on the face. The rim is the only other element and it is white too, so the whole fitting is one tone. It sits tight against the ceiling and the face is what the room sees. It measures 29cm across.

Mounted flush it clears a doorway and a low ceiling, so a corridor, a landing or a small bedroom is its territory, and it lights the whole room evenly rather than pooling on one surface. It is the light you put in first and stop noticing, which is the point of a flush fitting: it does the general lighting so the lamps in the room can do the rest.

The LED is built in at 12W, so there is no bulb to buy and none to fit. It has 3 brightness settings, changed by switching off at the wall and straight back on, so no dimmer is needed. It is rated IP20, for dry indoor rooms. It carries a G energy label.

Frequently Asked
Do I need to buy a bulb?
No. The LED is built into the fitting, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to fit.

What happens when the LED fails?
The fitting is replaced rather than relamped. At 12W and normal domestic use that is many years away.

How do I change the brightness?
Switch off at the wall and straight back on. Each flick moves it to the next setting. No dimmer is needed.

Will it work on a dimmer?
It does not need one, and it should not be fitted to one. Brightness is controlled from the wall switch instead.

Can it go in a bathroom?
No. It is IP20, which covers dry interior rooms only. A bathroom needs IP44 or better.
