Brex 70Mm LED Downlight Dimmable

The Brex DL70 is a 70 mm deep-recessed downlight — 7 W COB giving 610 lm at CRI above 90, a 36° beam, TRIAC dimmable, IC-4 — into a 65 mm cut-out.

The deep reflector is the product

Most downlights sit the LED near the surface, which is why you see a bright spot every time you look up. The Brex recesses the source deep inside a precision reflector, so from normal standing height you see lit surfaces and not the fitting. In a room with a dozen downlights that is the difference between a comfortable ceiling and a grid of glare — and it is the single reason to choose this over a cheaper 70 mm.

A 36° beam, which follows from the recess

Narrower than the 100–120° of a standard downlight. The Brex puts light where you aim it rather than washing everything — excellent over a bench, a bath or a hallway run, but plan for more fittings if you are lighting a whole room evenly. Tell us the room and we will work out the spacing.

CRI above 90, with surge protection

>90 renders skin, timber and stone properly, and surge protection is built in — downlights die in numbers after a storm, and a margin at this size is uncommon.

IC-4, and IP44 from the room side

IC-4 means insulation may be laid directly over it — no clearance gap, no hole cut in the ceiling insulation above every fitting. IP44 applies to the room side: splash protection from below, which is what a bathroom needs. The datasheet is explicit about that distinction, and it is worth knowing.

65 mm cut-out — check it against your existing holes

70 mm fitting into a 65 mm hole, 80 mm deep, cable 950 mm. Note that 65 mm is not the common 90 mm Australian cut-out — this is for a new install or a smaller, more discreet result, not a drop-in replacement for standard downlights.

There is a 93 mm version

Brex is made at 70 mm and 93 mm. Ask us if the larger suits the ceiling better.

Where it works

• Over benches, baths and hallway runs — the narrow beam earns its keep.
• Insulated ceilings — IC-4.
• Bathrooms — IP44 room side.
• ⚠ New installs — 65 mm is not the standard hole.

Specifying it

70 mm fitting, 65 mm cut-out, 80 mm deep, cable 950 mm, in polycarbonate. Integrated 7 W COB LED giving 610 lm at 3000 K, included, CRI >90, beam 36°, dimmable — TRIAC, surge protection fitted, current output 240 mA. Class III — low voltage; driver required, IC-4 — insulation may cover it, IP44 (room side) — bathrooms YES. Warranty published as three years — the sheet says five; ask us.
