7.2w 24v DC Trimless LED Downlight

7.2w 24v DC Trimless LED Downlight

A downlight is set into the ceiling so the fitting itself all but disappears and only the light it casts is visible. It is the default for general lighting in most commercial interiors precisely because it takes up no visual space.

Because it is recessed, the decisions that matter are made before it is installed. The cut-out size has to be allowed for, the ceiling void has to be deep enough, and the spacing has to be set out on a plan rather than judged in the room - a downlight cannot be moved a hundred millimetres once the ceiling is closed.

Spacing is what separates a well-lit space from a patchy one. Too far apart and the floor shows scallops of light and shade; too close and the ceiling reads as a grid of bright holes and the installation costs more than it needed to.

Light output and colour

The colour temperature is 3000K, 4000K.

Where it can be installed

This fitting is rated IP44. Check that against where it is going before ordering.

Powering and installing it

This is a 24V fitting, so it runs from a driver rather than directly from mains. Size the driver to the total load of every fitting on the run, with room to spare - a driver working at its limit runs hot, and heat is what shortens its life.

Low voltage is the usual choice in a garden because the cable is safer to run and easier to extend later. The trade is voltage drop: a long run gets dimmer towards its far end, and the answer is a shorter cable path or a heavier cable rather than a bigger driver.

Plan the cable route before anything is fixed. It is the part of an installation that cannot be changed afterwards without undoing the rest of it, and it is the reason otherwise finished jobs get left half done.

Before you order

Two checks save most of the problems that show up after an installation is finished. The first is where the fitting will actually be seen from: a light chosen for how it looks in a product photograph is being judged from a viewpoint nobody will ever stand in, and the same fitting can be discreet from the house and glaring from the street.

The second is what else is going in around it. A single fitting is rarely the whole scheme, and matching colour temperature and finish across everything in a space matters more to the result than the specification of any one item in it. Mixed colour temperatures in particular read as a fault rather than as a choice.

If you are unsure whether this suits what you are lighting, our team at Lights For You will talk it through against the actual space rather than the specification sheet.

Specifying and pricing this

This is part of the Havit Commercial range, which is priced on application rather than listed. Use the enquiry button on this page and we will come back with pricing for the quantity you need.

Commercial fittings are usually specified in quantity against a lighting plan, where the count, the colour temperature and the control method all have to agree across the job. We can check a schedule against what is actually available before it is issued.

⚠ Confirm availability before a specification is issued. Commercial ranges change, and a product written into a drawing that is no longer stocked is a change order later, when it is far more expensive to fix.
