Biscari LED Downlight - White

Description

DescriptionThe Biscari is a square recessed LED downlight with a white cast aluminium body, a black inner housing and a faceted silver reflector behind a clear glass shade. It measures 12cm long and 12cm wide and stands 9.5cm high, with a recess depth of 10.5cm and a cut-out of 11cm, so it is worth checking the space in your ceiling void first. The light comes from integrated LEDs at 2700K, a warm light that feels soft and homely in the evening. This downlight is meant for dry rooms indoors, and we would keep it away from showers, baths and the garden.
The square trim gives a ceiling a crisp, architectural look, and the black inner frame draws the eye to the light rather than the hole around it. Set in a run of several, it suits a living room, a hallway, a study or a dining area, where you want a warm wash of light from the ceiling without a hanging pendant. Because it sits recessed, the ceiling stays clear, which helps in rooms with lower ceilings and in clean, modern schemes. The white trim blends into a white ceiling, so you notice the light first and the fitting second.
Cast aluminium is light and strong, and the whole downlight weighs 0.44KG. The LEDs are replaceable, so when they eventually reach the end of their life you change the LEDs rather than the whole fitting. It runs at 34.6V and 200mA and has no switch of its own, so you control it from the wall switch with your other room lights. As a wired-in light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions are available as a download, and it pays to measure the cut-out before you order.
