Swap-Deep 8W LED Dimmable Downlight White / Gold / Tri-Colour - 21448

The Domus SWAP-DEEP in white with a gold inner is a deep anti-glare recessed downlight — 8 W, 800–900 lumens, Ø90–100 mm cutout, 56 mm deep, 60° beam, IP44, IK05, dimmable.

⭐ A gold inner does something the other finishes do not

• ⭐⭐ BLACK, CHROME AND GUNMETAL CHANGE HOW THE FITTING LOOKS. GOLD CHANGES HOW THE LIGHT LOOKS.
• ⭐ A GOLD REFLECTOR IS NOT COLOUR-NEUTRAL. ⭐ Light bouncing off it picks up a warm cast, so the beam edges and the spill read slightly warmer than the LED's rated colour temperature.
• ⭐ THE EFFECT IS SUBTLE AND IT IS REAL. ⭐ It is most visible at the edges of the pool and on a pale wall nearby, and least visible directly under the fitting where the light has not touched the reflector.
• ⭐ WHICH MAKES 3000 K THE NATURAL PAIRING. ⭐ Warm light through a warm reflector is coherent; ⚠ 5700 K through gold is a cool source with a warm rim, which reads as neither. ⭐ If you want the cool setting, take the chrome or the gunmetal.
• ⚠ AND CONSIDER WHAT IT SITS NEXT TO. ⭐ Gold is a commitment on a ceiling in a way it is not on a tap — ten gold-ringed downlights in a white ceiling is a decorative decision, and it wants brass or gold hardware elsewhere in the room to look intentional.

⭐ The white fascia keeps it quiet from a distance

⭐ The outer fascia is white. ⭐⭐ SO FROM ACROSS THE ROOM THE FITTING STILL DISAPPEARS INTO A WHITE CEILING — the gold is visible only when you look up into it. ⭐ That is a more controlled way to use a metal finish than a gold outer fascia would be: the decorative element is where you notice it and absent where you do not. ⭐ It also means an imperfect layout is forgiven, which a full metal fascia would not forgive — a fitting 50 mm out of line is invisible in white and obvious in gold.

⭐ 56 mm deep, and the depth is the only real constraint

• ⭐ All three SWAP fascias share one engine, one output and one cutout, and differ only in depth: ⭐ DEEP 56 mm, STEP 40 mm, SLEEK 35 mm.
• ⭐⭐ THE DEEP RECESSES THE EMITTER FURTHEST FROM THE CEILING PLANE, which hides the source — and here also hides the gold until you are close to underneath.
• ⚠ CHECK 56 mm PLUS DRIVER ROOM BEFORE ORDERING. ⭐ Raked ceilings, bulkheads, shallow joists and packed insulation are where it fails, and the depth is discovered from the ladder.
• ⭐ IF IT IS MARGINAL, THE STEP AT 40 mm gives up little glare control for 16 mm — ⚠ though the gold inner is a DEEP option, so check with us before assuming the finish carries across.

⭐⭐ Ø90–100 mm, and the field no record here carries

⭐ The cutout is a range, Ø90–100 mm, from the datasheet. ⭐⭐ THAT RANGE IS THE POINT OF A “SWAP”: it drops into an existing hole anywhere in it, so a failed downlight is replaced without re-cutting, patching or repainting. ⭐ 43 products here publish a cutout range. ⛔ AND 0 OF 843 RECORDS PUBLISH A CUTOUT AT ALL, against 87 datasheets that do. ⭐ On a recessed fitting it is the only dimension that cannot be corrected once cut, so measure the existing hole before ordering — ⚠ over 100 mm this will not cover.

⭐ 60°, IP44, IK05

⭐ The 60° beam is part of the anti-glare design and it implies a tighter grid — ⭐ about the ceiling height apart on a 2.4 m ceiling rather than 1.5× it. ⚠ Spaced like a 120° fitting it leaves scallops of darkness between the pools. ⭐ IP44 is a bathroom outside the direct wet zones, ⛔ not a shower enclosure. ⭐ IK05 is an impact rating, published by only 23 products here. ⭐ Dimmable with suitable dimmers; ⚠ a mismatched dimmer gives flicker and buzz rather than a clean failure. ⭐ 35,000 hrs is over thirty years at three hours a day.

✅ What is published

Where it works

• ⭐⭐ Rooms with brass or gold hardware — ⭐ it looks intentional.
• ⭐ At 3000 K — ⭐ warm light through a warm reflector.
• ⭐ White ceilings — ⭐ the outer fascia still disappears.
• ⚠ Not at 5700 K — ⭐ take the chrome or gunmetal.
• ⚠ Not in a shallow void — ⭐ 56 mm plus driver.

Specifying it

Recessed LED downlight, deep anti-glare fascia. 8 W at 240 V AC. 800/900/850 lm at 3000/4000/5700 K switchable. CRI ≥80, 60° beam. Cutout Ø90–100 mm, fitting depth 56 mm. IP44, IK05. Clear lens, dimmable driver with flex and plug. 35,000 hrs. White fascia, gold inner. Five-year residential warranty per the sheet. ⭐ BLACK, CHROME AND GUNMETAL CHANGE HOW THE FITTING LOOKS. GOLD CHANGES HOW THE LIGHT LOOKS. A gold reflector is not colour-neutral, so light bouncing off it picks up a warm cast and the beam edges and spill read slightly warmer than the LED's rated colour temperature — subtle, real, most visible at the edges of the pool and on a pale wall nearby. ⭐ WHICH MAKES 3000 K THE NATURAL PAIRING: warm light through a warm reflector is coherent, where 5700 K through gold is a cool source with a warm rim and reads as neither. ⭐ THE WHITE OUTER FASCIA KEEPS IT QUIET FROM A DISTANCE — the gold is visible only when you look up into it.
