Swap-Sleek 8W LED Dimmable Downlight Satin Chrome / Tri-Colour

The Domus SWAP-SLEEK in satin chrome is a flat-fascia recessed downlight — 8 W, 800–900 lumens, Ø90–100 mm cutout, 35 mm deep, 60° beam, IP44, IK05, dimmable.

⭐ 35 mm — the one that fits where the others do not

• ⭐ The three SWAP fascias share an engine, an output and a cutout, and differ only in depth: ⭐ SLEEK 35 mm, STEP 40 mm, DEEP 56 mm.
• ⭐⭐ ON A RETROFIT THAT IS OFTEN THE WHOLE DECISION. ⭐ A ceiling void that took a 1990s halogen can is not necessarily deep enough for a modern anti-glare fitting, and the depth is discovered from the ladder with the old fitting already out.
• ⭐ 21 mm LESS THAN THE DEEP IS MORE THAN IT SOUNDS — ⭐ it is the difference between clearing a joist, a bulkhead lining or an insulation batt and not.
• ⚠ REMEMBER THE DRIVER NEEDS ROOM TOO. ⭐ The fitting depth is 35 mm; the driver sits alongside on a flex and plug and needs somewhere to lie flat where it will not be covered.

⚠ What a flat fascia costs in glare

• ⭐⭐ GLARE IS GEOMETRY. ⭐ A flat fascia puts the emitter close to the ceiling plane, so the source is visible from further across the room; a deep one hides it until you are almost underneath.
• ⚠ SO THE SLEEK IS THE HIGHEST-GLARE OF THE THREE, and that matters most where people look up or lie down — ⭐ bedrooms, lounges, low ceilings.
• ⭐ IT MATTERS LEAST IN A CORRIDOR, A LAUNDRY, A WALK-IN ROBE OR A KITCHEN, where people are moving and looking down. ⭐ Those are also the rooms most likely to have a shallow void.
• ⭐ THE 60° BEAM HELPS. ⭐ It is narrower than a general-purpose downlight's 90–120°, so less light escapes sideways than a flat fascia would otherwise allow. ⚠ Plan the spacing tighter to compensate: roughly the ceiling height apart on a 2.4 m ceiling.

⭐ Satin chrome — a metal fascia in a ceiling

⭐ Satin chrome is a brushed metallic rather than a mirror. ⭐⭐ THAT MATTERS ON A DOWNLIGHT: a polished chrome fascia catches every light source in the room and shows as a bright point even when the fitting is off, where a satin finish diffuses those reflections into a soft sheen. ⭐ On a white ceiling satin chrome reads as a deliberate detail rather than a mistake, which plain chrome sometimes does. ⭐ It suits a kitchen or bathroom with brushed tapware and handles, where matching the metal is the point. ⚠ IT DOES NOT DISAPPEAR THE WAY A WHITE FASCIA DOES. ⭐ If the intention is for the downlights not to be seen, white is the choice; a metal fascia is a decision to make them visible.

⭐⭐ The cutout range is the point — and no record here publishes a cutout

• ⭐ Ø90–100 mm, from the datasheet. ⭐⭐ A RANGE MEANS IT DROPS INTO AN EXISTING HOLE ANYWHERE IN IT — no re-cutting, no patching, no repainting. ⭐ 43 products in this catalogue publish a cutout range.
• ⛔ WE MEASURED THAT 0 OF 843 PRODUCT RECORDS PUBLISH A CUTOUT AT ALL, against 87 datasheets that give one. ⭐ On a recessed fitting that is the figure that matters most, because it is the only dimension that cannot be corrected once cut.
• ⭐ SO MEASURE THE EXISTING HOLE BEFORE ORDERING. ⚠ Over 100 mm and this will not cover; a larger-fascia fitting or a converter plate is the answer.
• ⭐ COMBINED WITH THE 35 mm DEPTH, THIS IS THE MOST RETROFIT-TOLERANT FITTING IN THE RANGE — ⭐ the widest hole tolerance and the least depth required.

⭐ IP44, IK05 and dimming

⭐ IP44 covers splashing water from any direction — enough for a bathroom outside the direct wet zones, ⛔ not a shower enclosure. ⚠ Confirm the zone with your electrician. ⭐ IK05 is an impact rating, published by only 23 products in this catalogue — about a 0.7-joule knock, which matters during construction and when something long is carried through a room. ⭐ Dimmable with suitable dimmers on an integrated driver with flex and plug; ⚠ “suitable” is the operative word, because a mismatched dimmer gives flicker and buzz rather than a clean failure. ⭐ 35,000 hrs — over thirty years at three hours a day.

✅ What is published

Where it works

• ⭐⭐ Shallow ceiling voids — ⭐ 35 mm plus driver.
• ⭐ Corridors, laundries, robes, kitchens — ⭐ people looking down.
• ⭐ With brushed tapware and handles — ⭐ matching metal.
• ⚠ Not bedrooms or low lounges — ⭐ take the DEEP.
• ⛔ Not in a shower enclosure — ⚠ IP44.

Specifying it

Recessed LED downlight, flat 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 35 mm. IP44, IK05. Clear lens, dimmable driver with flex and plug. 35,000 hrs. Satin chrome fascia. Five-year residential warranty per the sheet. ⭐ AT 35 mm THIS IS THE SHALLOWEST OF THE THREE SWAP FASCIAS, AND ON A RETROFIT THAT IS OFTEN THE WHOLE DECISION. A ceiling void that took a 1990s halogen can is not necessarily deep enough for a modern anti-glare fitting, and the depth is discovered from the ladder with the old fitting already out. 21 mm less than the DEEP is the difference between clearing a joist, a bulkhead lining or an insulation batt and not. ⚠ WHAT IT COSTS IS GLARE: a flat fascia puts the emitter close to the ceiling plane, so the source is visible from further across the room. That matters in bedrooms and lounges and matters least in corridors, laundries and kitchens — which are also the rooms most likely to have a shallow void.
