The Rondo DL105 is a 105mm recessed downlight 9W for800lm at CRI above 90, three colour temperatures,TRIAC dimmable, IP44 and IC-4 rated into a90mm cut-out.

IC-4 you can cover it with insulation

This is the specification that decides whether a downlight is legal in a modern ceiling. AnIC-4 rating means building insulation can be laid directly over and around it, with noclearance and no gap to cut. In a retrofit that saves an argument with the insulation, and in a newbuild it keeps the ceilings thermal performance intact a non-IC downlight forces ahole in the insulation above every single fitting.

IP44, so it can go in a bathroom

Protected against splashing water from any direction. That makes the Rondolegitimate over a bathroom, shower surround or laundry, where an IP20 downlight isnot. It is not an outdoor fitting, whatever our record says.

CRI above 90 and a 100 beam

>90 renders skin, timber and tile properly which matters more in abathroom mirror than almost anywhere else in a house. The 100 beam is wide, sofewer fittings cover a room evenly and you get fewer scallops on the walls.

Surge protection built in

1.5kVA of surge protection genuinely unusual at this size. Downlightsdie in numbers after a storm or a grid event; this one has a margin built in. Power factor is>0.80.

Three colour temperatures, including 5700K

3000K, 4000K or 5700K note that the cool setting is5700K, higher than the usual 5000K, so it is genuinely daylight-toned. Set atinstallation.

And it dims

TRIAC (leading-edge), the common Australian type so a run of Rondos dimstogether from one dimmer. Check compatibility with us if yours is trailing-edge orsmart.

Where it works

• Bathrooms, ensuites and laundries IP44.
• Insulated ceilings IC-4, no clearance needed.
• Kitchens and living areas, dimmed.
• Indoors only, despite the old record.

Questions

What size hole does it need?

90mm, for a 105mm fitting. An earlier version of this page said “Cut Out (cm): 90”, which would be 90 centimetres.

Can insulation go over it?

Yes it is IC-4 rated, so building insulation can be laid directly over and around it with no clearance. A non-IC downlight forces a hole in the insulation above every fitting.

Can it go in a bathroom?

Yes. IP44 protects against splashing water from any direction, which makes it legitimate over a bathroom, shower surround or laundry.

Can it go outside?

No. Our record tags it Outdoor/Garden, which is wrong IP44 is a wet-room rating, not a weather one.

Can I dim it?

Yes, on a TRIAC (leading-edge) dimmer, so a run of them dims together. Check with us if yours is trailing-edge or smart.

What is surge protection for?

Downlights die in numbers after a storm or a grid event. This one has 1.5kVA of margin built in, which is unusual at this size.

How cool is the cool setting?

5700K, higher than the usual 5000K genuinely daylight-toned.
