Surface Mounted LED Downlight 7w Black, White CCT HCP-8020704, HCP-8030704

A downlight is set into the ceiling so the fitting itself all but disappears and only the light it casts is visible. It is the default for general lighting in most commercial interiors precisely because it takes up no visual space.

Because it is recessed, the decisions that matter are made before it is installed. The cut-out size has to be allowed for, the ceiling void has to be deep enough, and the spacing has to be set out on a plan rather than judged in the room - a downlight cannot be moved a hundred millimetres once the ceiling is closed.

Spacing is what separates a well-lit space from a patchy one. Too far apart and the floor shows scallops of light and shade; too close and the ceiling reads as a grid of bright holes and the installation costs more than it needed to.

Light output and colour

This is a tri-colour fitting: the colour temperature is selected at installation rather than fixed at manufacture. It runs at 3000K (560lm), 4000K (595lm), 5500K (630lm).

That is genuinely useful rather than a specification-sheet feature. Colour temperature is the setting people most often get wrong and most regret, and it cannot be judged from a showroom - it depends on the surfaces in the room and on the light around it. A switchable fitting lets the decision be made in place, and changed if it is wrong.

⚠ Set every fitting on a run to the same value. Mixed colour temperatures in one space are obvious and look like a fault, which is the one way a tri-colour fitting can make a result worse rather than better.

Colour rendering is > 90 CRI, which describes how faithfully colours appear under the light. It matters most where the light falls on planting, timber, brick or stone, all of which look flat under a poor-rendering source.

Where it can be installed

This fitting is rated IP40. Check that against where it is going before ordering.

It is made from aluminium.

Powering and installing it

This is a 240V fitting, wired directly to mains.

Mains connection is licensed electrical work in Australia and has to be done by an electrician.

Plan the cable route before anything is fixed. It is the part of an installation that cannot be changed afterwards without undoing the rest of it, and it is the reason otherwise finished jobs get left half done.

Before you order

Two checks save most of the problems that show up after an installation is finished. The first is where the fitting will actually be seen from: a light chosen for how it looks in a product photograph is being judged from a viewpoint nobody will ever stand in, and the same fitting can be discreet from the house and glaring from the street.

The second is what else is going in around it. A single fitting is rarely the whole scheme, and matching colour temperature and finish across everything in a space matters more to the result than the specification of any one item in it. Mixed colour temperatures in particular read as a fault rather than as a choice.

If you are unsure whether this suits what you are lighting, our team at Lights For You will talk it through against the actual space rather than the specification sheet.

Specifying and pricing this

This is part of the Havit Commercial range, which is priced on application rather than listed. Use the enquiry button on this page and we will come back with pricing for the quantity you need.

Commercial fittings are usually specified in quantity against a lighting plan, where the count, the colour temperature and the control method all have to agree across the job. We can check a schedule against what is actually available before it is issued.

⚠ Confirm availability before a specification is issued. Commercial ranges change, and a product written into a drawing that is no longer stocked is a change order later, when it is far more expensive to fix.
