Fino Round is the large 6W member of the Fino family a160mm disc that stands just 28mm off the wall, throwing195lm at 3000K, 199lm at 4000K and 198lm at 5500Kthrough an opal polycarbonate diffuser at 120. At that size and output it does morethan mark a step: one fitting will light a landing, which is the reason to choose it overthe smaller 3W square.

The choice to make: 160mm is a design element

A 160mm illuminated disc is not a discreet fitting it is visible by dayand reads as a deliberate circle by night. Space them generously; the spacing that suitsa small 105mm marker will look crowded with these. If the wall is narrow, or youwant the light without the object, the square 3W Fino is the more restrainedchoice.

Where it works

• External landings and wide stair flights where one fitting perlanding is enough.
• Rendered feature and courtyard walls, where the lit disc is part ofthe composition.
• Alfresco and pool-house walls under cover, the 120 spreadwashing the paving.
• Commercial entries and hotel forecourts where IK08 impact resistanceis needed at knee height in a public area.

Specifying it

Surface-mounted, so there is no cutout and no canister it fixes to the wallface. Rated IP54: splashing and wind-driven damp are within rating, but aposition taking direct driving rain or standing water needs a higher-rated fitting.Tri-colour selectable at install; pick one temperature and apply it to every fitting onthat wall.

Fino Round is 12V DC and requires a 12V DC LED driver; itmust never be connected directly to 240V. Keep each fitting within25m of its driver and size the driver for the total circuit load at 6W each these draw twice what the small square does, so a driver sizedfor the square version will not carry the same count of these. The LED isbuilt in: no globe needed or possible. Not dimmable. Installation by alicensed electrician.

Backed by a 3-year replacement warranty.

Supplied by Lights For You at 6W per fitting the driver sizing mattersmore here than on the smaller Finos, so give us your fitting count and we will check thetransformer has headroom.

Questions

How is this different from the square Fino?

Size and output. This is a 160mm round fitting at 6Wgiving around 195199lm; the square is 105mm at 3W giving around3033lm. This one lights a landing; the square marks a step.

Does it need a driver?

Yes, a 12V DC LED driver. At 6W per fitting, size it forthe whole circuit with headroom. It must never be connected directly to 240V.

Can it go in an exposed position?

IP54 handles splashing and damp in a sheltered spot. For a wall inthe open taking driving rain, choose an IP65 or IP67 fitting instead.

Do I need to recess it into the wall?

No. It is surface-mounted and only 28mm deep, so it fixes tothe wall face with a cable penetration behind no coring and no canister.

Is the LED replaceable?

No. It is built in and sealed, so there is no globe to buy andnothing to service. The whole fitting is replaced at end of life.

What is the maximum distance from the driver?

25m. That is a warranty condition, and at 6W thevoltage drop over a long thin cable run is more noticeable than on a low-wattagefitting.
