The Brex DL70 is a 70mm deep-recessed downlight 7W COBgiving 610lm at CRI above 90, a 36 beam,TRIAC dimmable, IC-4 into a 65mmcut-out.

The deep reflector is the product

Most downlights sit the LED near the surface, which is why you see a bright spot every time you lookup. The Brex recesses the source deep inside a precision reflector, so from normalstanding height you see lit surfaces and not the fitting. In a room with a dozendownlights that is the difference between a comfortable ceiling and a grid of glare and it isthe single reason to choose this over a cheaper 70mm.

A 36 beam, which follows from the recess

Narrower than the 100120 of a standard downlight. The Brexputs light where you aim it rather than washing everything excellent over abench, a bath or a hallway run, but plan for more fittings if you are lighting a wholeroom evenly. Tell us the room and we will work out the spacing.

CRI above 90, with surge protection

>90 renders skin, timber and stone properly, andsurge protection is built in downlights die in numbers after a storm, and amargin at this size is uncommon.

It is ClassIII low voltage so it runs from adriver. Neither of our sources mentions this, and it is the sort of omission that stops aninstallation on the day. Ask us and we will confirm what ships with the fitting beforeyou order in quantity.

IC-4, and IP44 from the room side

IC-4 means insulation may be laid directly over it noclearance gap, no hole cut in the ceiling insulation above every fitting.IP44 applies to the room side: splash protection from below, which is what a bathroomneeds. The datasheet is explicit about that distinction, and it is worth knowing.

65mm cut-out check it against your existing holes

70mm fitting into a 65mm hole, 80mm deep, cable950mm. Note that 65mm is not the common 90mmAustralian cut-out this is for a new install or a smaller, more discreet result, not adrop-in replacement for standard downlights.

There is a 93mm version

Brex is made at 70mm and 93mm. Ask us if the larger suits the ceilingbetter.

Where it works

• Over benches, baths and hallway runs the narrow beam earns its keep.
• Insulated ceilings IC-4.
• Bathrooms IP44 room side.
• New installs 65mm is not the standard hole.

Questions

Why is it less glary than other downlights?

The LED is recessed deep inside a precision reflector, so from standing height you see lit surfaces rather than the fitting. In a room with a dozen downlights that is the difference between a comfortable ceiling and a grid of glare.

How wide is the beam?

36 narrower than a standard downlight’s 100120. Excellent over a bench or bath, but plan for more fittings if you are lighting a whole room evenly. Tell us the room and we will work out the spacing.

Does it need a driver?

It is Class III, low voltage, so yes and neither of our sources mentions one. Ask us to confirm what ships with the fitting before ordering in quantity.

What size hole does it need?

65mm, which is NOT the common 90mm Australian cut-out. This is for a new install or a smaller, more discreet result, not a drop-in replacement.

Can insulation go over it?

Yes IC-4, so insulation may be laid directly over with no clearance gap.

Can it go in a bathroom?

Yes. IP44 applies to the room side splash protection from below, which is what a bathroom needs.

What is the warranty?

We publish three years. The datasheet says five and the record says three. Ask us and we will settle it.
