Stellar CTC Ceiling Light

The Stellar CTC is a 500 mm layered circular close-to-ceiling light in white — integrated 48 W giving 3,280 lm, with 3000 K / 4000 K / 5000 K and TRIAC dimming, projecting 68 mm.

Layered circles — and what that buys over a plain disc

The Stellar is built from overlapping circular planes at slightly different depths rather than a single flat face. Two things follow:

• It casts shadow on itself. The layers produce soft edges and depth even when the fitting is off, so it reads as a sculptural object on the ceiling rather than a lit panel. That is what the copy means by “visual interest”, and it is the whole reason to choose it over a plain oyster.
• The light leaves at more than one plane, so the transition from lit fitting to ceiling is graded rather than a hard ring — which is what makes a bright close-mounted fitting comfortable to sit under.

3,280 lumens, and it dims properly

48 W at 68 lm/W — enough to be the only light in a living room or a large bedroom. It sits between the two other close-to-ceiling fittings in this catalogue:

All three record almost exactly the same efficacy — 68 to 69 lm/W — which tells you they are built on the same LED platform. So the choice between them is size, form and finish, not light quality. The Stellar is the brightest of the two 500 mm options, giving 19% more light than the Arema on the same footprint.

Three colour temperatures, set at installation

3000 K warm for living rooms and bedrooms — right in most homes. 4000 K neutral for a kitchen or study. 5000 K cool, which belongs in a garage or workshop.

68 mm deep, 4.9 kg

Genuinely low-profile for a 500 mm fitting, and the layered form is what carries visual depth at that thinness.

Where it works

• Living rooms and large bedrooms — 3,280 lm on its own, dimmed to taste.
• Rooms where a plain disc would be dull — the layered form has presence.
• Low ceilings and hallways — 68 mm.
• ⚠ 4.9 kg flat against the ceiling — a proper fixing.
• ⚠ Ask us whether the finish is acrylic or fabric before ordering.
