Light quality

Daylight is the coolest, bluest tone on the scale. It reads as very bright and alert, which suits garages, workshops and security lighting more than living rooms. This one puts out 1450 lumens. That is a bright main light, suited to a lounge, kitchen or open-plan space. A CRI of 85 describes how faithfully colours appear under the light — the higher the figure, the more natural fabrics, food and skin tones look.

Fitting and compatibility

It measures 604mm (2ft) high.
