Round LED Recessed Downlight 3W 3000K Warm White – Ø75mm Cut-Out – 240 lm – For Hallway & Living Areas – 5-Year Warranty

Why choose the Round LED Recessed Downlight 3W

At €5.45 per fitting, this downlight offers a practical, no-fuss solution for spaces where ambient lighting matters more than high lux levels. The aluminium body dissipates heat efficiently, the 60° beam keeps light focused rather than scattered, and the 3000K colour temperature creates the relaxed, warm atmosphere expected in residential settings. Installation is straightforward for any qualified electrician working with standard 220–240V circuits.

• Efficiency: At 80 lm/W, this 3W fitting consumes roughly one-tenth of the energy of the 25W halogen it replaces, reducing electricity costs across multiple fittings immediately.
• Light quality: The 3000K warm white output produces a comfortable, inviting tone suited to living rooms, hallways and bedrooms without the harsh blue cast of cooler alternatives.
• Build: The aluminium housing manages heat effectively over the rated 50,000-hour lifespan, resisting the discolouration and brittleness common in plastic-bodied budget downlights.
• Warranty: A 3-year warranty is included as standard, giving installers and facility managers confidence when specifying across multiple rooms or units.

Where to use it

This 3W downlight is well suited to low-ceiling domestic and light commercial interiors where ambient or accent lighting is required rather than high-intensity task illumination. Typical applications include hallways, corridors, residential living rooms, bedrooms, hotel rooms, small retail fitting rooms, and stairwells. Mounting heights of 2.4–3.0 metres are ideal, and grouping several fittings at 1.0–1.5 metre spacing achieves comfortable general illumination.

What the specifications mean in practice

• 3W / 240 lm: Equivalent output to a 20–25W halogen GU10, sufficient for ambient lighting in smaller rooms and corridors without over-illuminating the space.
• 80 lm/W: A solid efficacy for this price point, meaning running costs across a corridor of ten fittings remain negligible compared with the halogen installation they replace.
• 3000K: Warm white light that reads as relaxed and residential, consistent with the tone produced by traditional incandescent bulbs and preferred in living and sleeping areas.
• 60° beam angle: A moderately narrow beam that concentrates light downward, reducing spill onto walls and making it effective for accent lighting as well as general ambient use.
• 50,000 hours: At eight hours of use per day, this equates to over 17 years before the light source reaches end of rated life, minimising replacement and maintenance visits.

Installation and compatibility

The fitting requires a Ø75mm ceiling cut-out and connects directly to a standard 220–240V on/off circuit — no separate driver or transformer is needed. Dimming is not supported on this variant. The aluminium body suits plasterboard and timber-framed ceilings. Clightstore provides a free DIALux light study to help determine the correct number of fittings and spacing for your project.
