Product Description
xThe Sova DL93 is a 93 mm recessed LED downlight in dark grey or white — 10 W giving 1,050 lm at 3000 K, CRI above 90, TRIAC dimmable, 85 mm cutout.
It draws 10 W, not the 6 W our page said. 1,050 lm from 6 W would be 175 lm/W, which no CRI-above-90 COB achieves. The datasheet says 10 W, and the surface-mounted Sova gives exactly 1,050 lm from 10 W. If you are sizing a circuit for a run of these, use 10 W — the old figure understated the load by forty per cent.
The warranty is FIVE years, not three. Our page said three; the datasheet says five, matching the surface-mounted sibling. Five is what applies.
IP44 from the room side — which is a real distinction
Our record simply said IP44. The datasheet is more precise: IP44 (room side). That means the visible face is protected against splashing water — so it is suitable for a bathroom ceiling outside the shower zone — while the back of the fitting, in the ceiling void, is not weather-rated. It is the normal and correct arrangement for a recessed bathroom downlight, and it is worth your electrician knowing the wording.
85 mm cutout in a 93 mm face
An 85 mm hole is the common Australian downlight cutout, so this drops into most existing ceilings when you are replacing older fittings. The face is 93 mm, giving a 4 mm overlap all round — enough to cover a slightly ragged existing hole, not enough to cover a badly cut one. Depth above the ceiling is 87 mm.
105 lumens per watt at CRI above 90
1,050 lm from 10 W is efficient, and it holds CRI above 90 at the same time — a combination that usually trades one against the other. In a kitchen that means food and timber look right; over a whole ceiling it means fewer fittings for the same light.
36° beam, TRIAC dimming, IC-4
The beam is 36° — narrower than the usual 60°, giving a tighter, lower-glare pool, so space them closer than you would a wide downlight. Dimming is TRIAC, the ordinary leading-edge wall dimmer, with surge protection built in. IC-4 means it may be covered by ceiling insulation — which on a recessed fitting is the rating that actually matters.
⚠ It is Class III — low voltage — so it runs on a driver. Normally supplied with a downlight, but no source we hold confirms it. Ask us before you order a run.
Where it works
- Kitchens, where CRI above 90 shows on food and timber.
- Bathroom ceilings outside the shower zone — IP44 room side.
- Retrofits into an existing 85 mm cutout.
- Insulated ceilings — IC-4.
- ⚠ Space closer than a 60° downlight; the beam is 36°.
Specifying it
93 mm face, 85 mm cutout, 87 mm depth, tail 950 mm, in satin aluminium. Integrated 10 W COB LED giving 1,050 lm at 3000 K, included, CRI >90, 36° beam, 240 mA, TRIAC dimmable, surge protection, IC-4. 240 V, Class III — low voltage; driver required, not confirmed as supplied, IP44 from the room side. Warranty is five years, as a replacement warranty.
Supplied and supported by Lights For You.
Questions
Is it 6 watts or 10?
Ten. Our page said 6 W alongside 1,050 lm, which would be 175 lm/W — impossible for a CRI-above-90 COB. The datasheet says 10 W and the surface-mounted Sova gives exactly 1,050 lm from 10 W. Size your circuit on 10.
Is the warranty three years or five?
Five. Our page said three; the datasheet says five, matching the surface-mounted sibling.
Can it go in a bathroom?
On a bathroom ceiling outside the shower zone, yes. The datasheet says IP44 room side, meaning the visible face is splash-protected while the back of the fitting in the ceiling void is not weather-rated — the normal arrangement for a recessed bathroom downlight.
What cutout does it need?
An 85 mm hole, which is the common Australian size, so it drops into most existing ceilings. The face is 93 mm — a 4 mm overlap, enough to cover a slightly ragged hole but not a badly cut one. Allow 87 mm of depth above the ceiling.
How wide is the beam?
36 degrees — narrower than the usual 60. It gives a tighter, lower-glare pool, so space them closer than you would a wide downlight.
Can it be covered with insulation?
Yes — IC-4 rated, which on a recessed fitting is the rating that actually matters.
What dimmer does it need?
A TRIAC wall dimmer — the ordinary leading-edge type. Surge protection is built in.
