Name: Small Recessed IP65 Niche Light - Shallow Profile Design
Brand: Lighting Styles
SKU: 41139
Price: 51.6 GBP
Availability: InStock
Rating: 8.4 (11 reviews)

A small shallow profile spot light ideal for areas where a tiny fitting is needed for a big impact. Ideal installed in niches and alcoves, to highlight those important ornaments or beloved possessions.

Available in a square or round shape, and with a choice of polished chrome or stainless steel 316 there is sure to be one to suit your requirements.

IP65 rated for use in bathrooms or outdoor areas, with protection from sprayed water. Use in shower areas or for path lighting.

Complete with an integral 1w High Power LED, 3000k, with a 120º beam angle. Perfect for energy efficiency.

Due to their size these luminaires do not have space for an integral power supply. They must be used with a 350mA constant current driver (power supply). The smaller drivers will fit through the hole - see images.

The 2-core flex fitted is 30cm - this can be extended if required.

NB These lights require a 3-volt 350mA supply and must be wired in series when connecting two or more to higher capacity drivers - failing to do so will overvolt and destroy the LED.

What is a niche?
A niche, in the context of design and architecture, refers to a shallow recess, especially one in a wall to display a statue or other ornament. In the case of lighting, a niche light is a fixture designed to be installed in a shallow recess or niche to provide focused and often subtle illumination. Niche lights are often used for accent lighting or to highlight specific features or objects within a space. The term "niche" in this context emphasizes the light's placement in a shallow, purpose-built recess.

Hi, can you advise how the lights are fixed into the hole above - do they have clips and, if so, what’s the maximum thickness of material they’ll clip into and the total width that the clips occupy?
These light don’t use clips that go into and over the rear of the wallboard, they use sprung steel strips to grip the side of the hole, so the depth of your wall/floor/tile makes no difference, they will still fit and stay in place.

From the light how long is the cable that goes to the driver? If they’re quite short are you able to extend them? Also does the driver connect direct to lighting circuit or via 3 pin plug?
The length of cable is 300mm. The LED driver is connected directly to the Lighting circuit.

Are these lights designed to be wired in a series or parallel circuit
When using more than one fixture on a single power supply the installation should wired in series. Do not connect one fixture to the larger power supplies as the higher voltages will damage the LED.

Our niche is immediately below a main beam, allowing only limited height. Whilst we can lower the niche height we want to minimise this - keeping the niche as large as possible. What is the minimum depth you'd suggest we need?
The minimum depth would be 13mm for the fitting if you are placing the driver elsewhere.

Can you tell me what the voltage is and how big is the recess?
This is a low voltage fixture and operates on a 350mA constant current power supply. We do not suggest this fixture is used on a constant voltage supply i.e. 12v or 24v. The fixture is only 13mm deep. Other dimensions can be found under More Details.

I’m looking to purchase 2 x anti glare. What do I need to purchase as well. Also looking to place another 2 To put in a plinth, are these suitable?
These fixtures require a driver (low voltage DC power supply) pick the power supply that suits your needs. You could use a large supply if you want all four lights on a single supply or switch or split them into two supplies/switches. This product is ideal for use at low level i.e. plinths.

As these tiny spots do not have a driver attached, where would the driver be placed? I assume it needs to be accessible, but if it cannot fit through the hole of the spot where is the most common place to put the driver?
Common places for locating a driver include loft space, airing cupboard, under bath, in sink vanity, kitchen cupboard, cupboard under stairs. behind a pierce of removable skirting board.

I want to put three of these on a PIR sensor - is this possible?
Yes, we cannot envisage any problems in switching these product via a PIR or microwave sensor suitable for lower loads.

What is the length of the wire attached? Are they suitable for bathroom zone 1?
The length of wire attached is 300mm. These are suitable for bathroom zones 1,2 and 3.

I would like this light fitted into my new wetroom. How does electrician install them? What wiring will I need to ask for?
Advise your electrician that you have want these IP65 LED lights and that they need a DC driver. The electrician will run mains to the driver. The fitting is then installed to the driver.

I WANT TO FIT ONE OF YOUR LIGHTS ( REF 41139 ) IN A NICHE IN MY NEW BATHROOM , OBVIOUSLY THE UNIT FITS BY PUSHING IT INTO THE HOLE IN THE TILE , HOW EASY IS IT TO REMOVE IT IF I EVER NEEDED TO.
Very easy, similar to a downlight you can just pull the fitting down.

I have a 500 mm wide x 1400 mm high x 300 mm deep alcove in a small bathroom. Can you suggest a suitable light to make it a bit of a feature?
We would suggest 1 or 2 niche lights in your alcove. All of the lights in the niche section require a power supply of some sort, but these can be wired into your existing lighting circuit.
