Liptor 30W surface mounted LED light

The Liptor is a large round surface-mounted fitting 346mm across and 122mm deep sold here in white and black. At 30W and up to 1600lm it is a general-purpose utility light for the spaces that need to be properly lit rather than decorated: laundries, garages, storerooms, covered service areas, stairwells and back-of-house corridors.

Its size is the reason to choose it. A 346mm diffuser spreads 30W over a wide face, so the light leaves the fitting softly rather than as a small bright source. In a room where people look up a laundry, a garage with a hoist, a corridor with a low ceiling that is the difference between light you notice and glare you avoid looking at.

Light output and colour temperature

The Liptor is tri-colour, so the colour temperature is set on the fitting at installation rather than fixed when it is made: 3000K, 4000K or 5500K, with output at 1320lm, 1600lm and 1490lm respectively. Colour rendering is rated above 80 CRI and the beam is 120.

Note that the middle setting is the brightest of the three, so if maximum output matters more than colour, 4000K is the setting to choose and 4000K is usually the right answer in a utility space anyway, where surfaces should read accurately without the room feeling cold.

Power and installation

The fitting runs on 240V AC mains and needs no driver, so it is a standard mains connection for a licensed electrician. It is rated IP54, which covers dust and splashing water from any direction appropriate for a laundry, a garage or a sheltered exterior position, though not for a fully exposed one or a hose-down area.

The LED is integral to the fitting. There is no lamp base, nothing to buy alongside it, and no globe to replace which is worth having on a 346mm fitting mounted overhead, where changing a lamp means a ladder and two hands.

Choosing the finish

Two part numbers are sold on this page and they are the same fitting: HV36053T-WHT in white and HV36053T-BLK in black. White is the default for a ceiling or a light-coloured wall, where the body disappears and only the lit face is read. Black suits dark ceilings, exposed structure and industrial interiors, where a white disc would be the most prominent thing in the room. Lights For You stocks both, and since the output is identical the choice is purely about the surface it lands on.
