The Duro in aluminium is the white-finish version of the same very small recessed downlight 60mm, 31mm deep, 3W built in. Same fitting, lighter finish.

Aluminium disappears into a white ceiling

The black Duro reads as a deliberate dark mark; this one recedes. In a white bulkhead or soffitwhere you want the light and not the fitting, that is the version to choose.

31mm deep is the whole argument

Standard downlights need 6070mm of void. At 31mm the Duro fits a bulkhead, ashallow soffit, a stair riser or cabinetry where nothing else will. If you have normal ceiling depth,a larger downlight will give you far more light for the same effort.

Two colour temperatures, fixed at order

DURO 3R-WH83 is 3000K at 240lm;3R-WH85 is 5000K at 260lm. Not switchable the coolversion is marginally brighter, as cool LEDs usually are.

Where it works

• White bulkheads and soffits, where the fitting should disappear.
• Shallow voids that will not take a standard downlight.
• Stair risers and cabinetry.
• Display niches and shelving.

Questions

How deep does the ceiling need to be?

Only 31mm about half what a standard downlight needs.

Which colour temperature should I choose?

3000K at 240lm for living areas, 5000K at 260lm for task and utility. It is fixed by order code, not switchable.

Can it go in a bathroom or eave?

No. It is IP20 indoor and dry locations only. Use an IP44 downlight such as the Elon or Macro.

Is it dimmable?

No.

Should I use this instead of a normal downlight?

Only if your void is too shallow for one. With normal ceiling depth a larger downlight gives far more light.

How is it different from the black Duro?

Finish only. Aluminium recedes into a white ceiling; black reads as a deliberate mark.

What is the warranty?

Two years shorter than most of the Telbix catalogue.
