Small 70mm Downlight
This EGLO 6W LED Downlight is a perfect solution for replacing or installing new 70mm cut-out downlights. It has the following key features:
Energy Efficient - It consumes just 6W of power but puts out more light than an old-fashioned 35W halogen downlight globes.
Dimmable - Works well on existing or new LED dimmers. Or use it with a standard on/off light switch.
Robust & Versatile - This 70mm led downlight carries an IP44, IC-4 rated and a 5 year warranty. This means it is splash-proof, can be covered with ceiling insulation, and is long-lasting.
Selectable Colour Temperature - A tri-colour switch on the side of the downlight allows you to choose your preferred colour temperature (see graphic below).
Easy Installation - Comes pre-wired with a power lead and plug.
The EGLO 70mm LED downlight includes three colour temperature options built-in (3000K warm white, 4000K neutral white, or 5000K daylight).
70mm Downlight Spacing Guide
The graphic below provides an installation guide for new downlight installations. Notice that the light spread at floor level is 5.7m, or about 2.4 times the ceiling height.
To calculate the light spread at floor level for this 70mm downlight, multiply your ceiling height by 2.4.
For adequate lighting levels, some overlap is required (as pictured below). We recommend that these LED downlights be installed between 1.5m and 4m apart.
Close spacing of dimmable downlights is helpful for 'task lighting' such as above kitchen benchtops. Downlights in bedrooms and living areas can be installed further apart.

When replacing existing downlights, it's easiest to stick with the existing lighting layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need a separate transformer?
No, the transformer is built in. Unlike old downlights - which had a separate globe, fitting and transformer - this new design combines all components into a single product. It plugs straight into a mains power outlet with the included lead and plug.
What dimmers do you recommend for this 70mm downlight?
This EGLO LED downlight works with most existing and new dimmer switches. We have tested it on the MEDM (which needs a separate on/off switch) and MMDM (integrated on/off control) LED dimmers, and it works well on both dimmers. Even with only one LED downlight connected, these dimmers can dim the downlight right down.
Do I have to use a dimmer?
No - the EGLO Rippa 70mm LED downlight also works fine on a regular light switch.
