Eltz 40Cm 30W 3Cct LED Oyster Dimmable Ceiling Light

The Eltz OY40 is a 400 mm LED oyster in a clear textured finish — 32 W giving 3,230 lm, with switchable 3000 K / 4000 K / 5000 K, TRIAC dimmable.

3,230 lumens — and 101 lumens per watt

That efficacy is the story here, and nothing said it. Compare it to the Orlin wood-rimmed oyster in this catalogue: 24 W for 1,270 lm — 53 lm/W. The Eltz is nearly twice as efficient, because it has no decorative rim absorbing the output.

Practically: 3,230 lm will light a large bedroom, a living room or a kitchen on its own. That is a genuine main light, not a hallway fitting, and it puts the Eltz in a different class from most oysters in this range.

Three colour temperatures — and the record lost one

3000 K, 4000 K, 5000 K, selected at installation. Our record lists only 3000 and 4000; the 5000 K setting is absent, which is the one that matters in a laundry, kitchen or home office where you need to judge colour properly.

Note there is no 2700 K: the Eltz starts at 3000 K, so it never goes as warm as a decorative fitting. That is correct for what it is.

400 mm across, 80 mm deep

400 mm wide and only 80 mm off the ceiling, at 1.8 kg, on a 350 mm canopy. That canopy is nearly as wide as the fitting, which is worth knowing on a retrofit: it will cover the mark left by whatever came down, and it needs 350 mm of flat ceiling. At 1.8 kg it goes onto a standard fixing.

The middle of three sizes

Eltz comes in three sizes. The 280 mm gives 2,130 lm from 18 W and is not dimmable; this 400 mm gives 3,230 lm from 32 W and is. So the step up buys you 52% more light and the dimming — which, in a room you sit in rather than pass through, is the whole argument.

Where it works

• Living rooms, large bedrooms and kitchens — as the only light.
• Retrofits — the 350 mm canopy covers the old mark.
• Rooms wanting both a bright working setting and a dimmed evening one.
• ⚠ IP20 — not for a bathroom.
• ⚠ No 2700 K — it starts at 3000 K.
