Square LED Surface Downlight 18W 6000K Daylight White – 225×225mm – 1440 lm – For Office & Hallway – 3-Year Warranty

Why choose the Square LED Surface Downlight 18W

At under €10, this fitting offers a straightforward, no-fuss upgrade for any space that currently runs on outdated incandescent or compact fluorescent ceiling lights. The low-profile 32 mm body sits flush against the ceiling without requiring a recess, and the aluminium housing dissipates heat efficiently to protect the light source over its 30,000-hour lifespan. It is a practical choice wherever a clean, square aesthetic and reliable daylight-white output are needed.

• Efficiency: At 80 lm/W, the 18W draw replaces a 50W fitting, cutting ceiling-light energy consumption by roughly 64% with no reduction in perceived brightness.
• Light quality: A CRI of Ra>80 renders colours accurately enough for task areas, product displays and reception counters where visual clarity matters.
• Build: The white-painted aluminium body is rated for operating temperatures from -20 to 55°C, making it suitable for unheated storage rooms and stairwells as well as air-conditioned offices.
• Simplicity: Surface mounting with a standard on/off driver means installation requires no ceiling void, no driver box and no additional wiring accessories — connect directly to a 200–240V AC supply.

Where to use it

This fitting is well suited to offices, open-plan workspaces, school classrooms, corridors, stairwells, utility rooms and small retail back-of-house areas. At a typical mounting height of 2.5–3 metres, a single unit covers a working area of approximately 3×3 metres. For larger rooms, multiple units on a regular grid will achieve comfortable general illumination without dark spots.

What the specifications mean in practice

• 6000K: Daylight-white light that promotes alertness and visual acuity — well suited to task-focused environments such as offices and classrooms, though warmer alternatives may be preferable in hospitality settings.
• 80 lm/W: Every watt consumed produces 80 lumens of useful light, translating directly into lower electricity bills compared with the 50W fitting this unit replaces.
• UGR<22: Glare is controlled to a level acceptable for general circulation and utility areas; for intensive screen-based work, a fitting with UGR<19 would be the preferred specification.
• IP41: Protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and dripping water falling vertically — suitable for indoor dry and semi-dry locations, but not for bathrooms, kitchens or outdoor use.
• 30,000 hours: Running eight hours a day, this fitting will last approximately ten years before lumen output drops to 70% of its original value, keeping maintenance calls to a minimum.

Installation and compatibility

The fitting mounts directly to any flat ceiling surface using the integrated back plate — no ceiling void is required. It connects to a standard 200–240V AC supply via the built-in on/off driver; dimming is not supported.
