90mm LED Downlight 9w White CCT ELON DL115-WH-3C Telbix Lighting

The Elon is a 9 W recessed LED downlight for a 90 mm cut-out. Two things make it worth specifying over a budget downlight: it is IC-4 rated, and it is TRIAC dimmable.

IC-4 means insulation can touch it

An IC rating says the fitting may be covered by ceiling insulation without overheating. IC-4 is the class that permits abutting and covering with insulation, tested to 90 °C. That matters more than most people realise: in a modern insulated roof, a non-IC-rated downlight needs a physical gap kept clear around it, and that gap is where heat loss and draughts happen. Loose-fill insulation is still not permitted — batts only.

IP44, so bathrooms and eaves are in scope

Rated IP44 against splashing, so it can be used in bathroom and eave positions your electrician confirms. A standard IP20 downlight cannot go in either.

Class II — no earth at the fitting

It is double insulated, which simplifies installation and is why it comes with a plug-and-flex arrangement rather than requiring an earth at the fitting.

Three colour temperatures, chosen on site

3000 K, 4000 K or 5000 K on a switch at installation, on a 100° beam giving 850 lm. One product covers a whole house.

Where it works

• Insulated ceilings, where IC-4 removes the clearance problem.
• Bathrooms and eaves, subject to the wiring zone.
• General room lighting on a dimmed circuit.
• Retrofits into an existing 90 mm cut-out.

Specifying it

90 mm cut-out, fitting ø115 mm and 60 mm deep, weighing 0.15 kg. 9 W giving 850 lm, beam 100°, TRIAC dimmable, IP44, IC-4, Class II. Polycarbonate and aluminium, white or nickel. Warranty is three years.
