The Astrid is a 400mm, 30W dimmable LED oyster with asatin trim ring in four finishes including oak, which isunusual on a ceiling fitting.

A trim ring turns an oyster into a fitting

Plain oysters are white discs. The Astrid’s satin ring in black, chrome, oak or silver gives it anedge and a material, so it reads as a chosen fitting rather than the thing the builder installed. Theoak option in particular suits timber joinery in a way no white oyster can.

Dimmable, which most oysters are not

At 2,400lm it is bright enough to light a room on its own. Because it dims, itcan also be turned down so it works as a bedroom light rather than only a hallway one.

Wide beam, good colour

A 140 spread covers a room evenly rather than pooling, andCRI above 83 is well above a budget oyster noticeable on clothes and skin.Colour temperature is switchable on site.

Where it works

• Bedrooms and living rooms as the main light, dimmed in the evening.
• Rooms with timber joinery, using the oak trim.
• Hallways and landings.
• Anywhere a plain white oyster would look like a default.
