Product Description
xThe Sova CTC70 is a 70 mm surface-mounted LED downlight in dark grey or white — 10 W giving 1,050 lm at 3000 K, CRI above 90, TRIAC dimmable, with a 36° beam.
The warranty is FIVE years, not three. Our page said three. The Telbix datasheet says five, and we are publishing five — a longer warranty is not something we would invent, and the datasheet is the vendor’s own document. If you bought one on the old page, the five years still applies.
Surface-mounted, so no ceiling cutout
This is the version that mounts on the ceiling rather than into it — which means it works where a recessed downlight cannot: concrete slabs, rendered ceilings, rentals, anywhere you cannot or will not cut a hole. It projects 150 mm, so it reads as a small cylinder rather than a flush disc.
105 lumens per watt at CRI above 90 — that combination is the point
1,050 lm from 10 W is 105 lm/W, which is efficient, and it is achieved while holding CRI above 90. Those two usually trade against each other — high-CRI LEDs normally give up efficiency. Getting both means bright, true-coloured light without a high load, which over a whole kitchen or living room is the difference between six fittings and nine.
A 36° beam is narrow, and you should plan for it
Most general downlights spread 60 degrees or more. At 36° the Sova throws a tighter, more defined pool — excellent over a bench, an island or artwork, and low-glare because the source is recessed behind the beam. As a general room light it needs closer spacing than you might expect. Worth saying to your electrician before they set out.
TRIAC dimming — the ordinary wall dimmer
TRIAC is the common leading-edge wall dimmer, which is the good news: no special controller, no app, no remote. Surge protection is built in.
⚠ It is Class III — low voltage — so it runs on a driver. On a downlight one is normally supplied, but no source we hold confirms it. Ask us before you order a run of them.
IC-4 rated
IC-4 means it may be covered by ceiling insulation — on a surface-mounted fitting that matters less than on a recessed one, but it tells you the fitting runs cool. Rating is IP20 — indoor and dry locations only.
Where it works
- Concrete and rendered ceilings, where nothing can be recessed.
- Over benches, islands and artwork — the 36° beam suits a defined pool.
- Rentals and retrofits, where no hole may be cut.
- ⚠ As a general room light, space them closer than a 60° downlight.

Questions
Is the warranty three years or five?
Five. Our page said three; the Telbix datasheet says five, and we are publishing five — a longer warranty is not something we would invent. If you bought one on the old page, the five years still applies.
Do I need to cut a hole in the ceiling?
No — this is the surface-mounted version. It mounts on the ceiling rather than into it, which is why it works on concrete slabs, rendered ceilings and rentals where nothing can be recessed.
How wide is the beam?
36 degrees, which is narrow. Most general downlights spread 60 or more. It gives a tighter, more defined and lower-glare pool — excellent over a bench or artwork, but as a general room light it needs closer spacing.
What kind of dimmer does it need?
A TRIAC wall dimmer — the common leading-edge type. No special controller, no app, no remote. Surge protection is built in.
Does it need a driver?
It is Class III, low voltage, so it runs on one. On a downlight a driver is normally supplied, but no source we hold confirms it. Ask us before you order a run of them.
Is 1,050 lumens from 10 watts believable?
Yes — 105 lm/W, and it holds CRI above 90 at the same time. Those two usually trade against each other, which is what makes this fitting worth choosing.
Can it be covered with insulation?
It is IC-4 rated, so yes — which on a surface-mounted fitting mostly tells you it runs cool. It is IP20, so indoor and dry locations only.
