Smart LED recessed downlights for indoor & outdoor use

The Milano LED veranda recessed downlights are dust- and water-resistant thanks to the IP65 protection rating. This makes them perfect not only for outdoor lighting, like on your veranda, patio roof, or the roof of your garden shed or carport, but also for any damp room or environment. You can even hang them above a shower area without any problems. In addition, they're made of maintenance-free aluminium, so you can confidently leave them outdoors all year round, even during rain or snowfalls.

Besides outdoors, Milano recessed LED spotlights are also great for illuminating the following indoor places and rooms:

• Bathroom
• Above the shower
• In bathroom cabinets
• Near the bathtub
• Under kitchen cabinets
• Along the staircase
• Bedroom
• Living room

Please note! These spotlights are not suitable as floor or deck spotlights.

Easy Plug & Play installation

These Milano Cree LED spotlights feature a Plug & Play plug connection which makes installation a breeze. The recessed downlights have clamps, making them easy to place. The transformer is prepared on the 230V side with a 15 cm (5.9 inches) long cable. You can connect this directly to the mains or connect a power cord of the desired length to it. The spotlights have a 5-metre (16.4 feet) cable with AMP connectors (these look like small internet cable connections). You simply plug these into the driver without tools. Need more cable? Then you can easily extend the cables with an extra 2 or 4-metre extension cable. You click these to the recessed downlights' connection cables the same way.

Important note for installation!
The smart driver has an IP20 protection rating. This means you cannot simply place it in a damp room. There's always increased humidity outdoors that the transformer cannot withstand, even under a porch or roof. You should therefore always place it in a dry place or an IP65 waterproof junction box.

Places where we recommend a junction box are:

• Porch
• Carport
• Outdoor
• Bathroom
• Garden house
• Garage
• Non or badly insulated attic room
• Basement

Tips!

• Want to saw perfect holes straight away for an easy installation? Then order a hole saw set Ø 28 mm along with it. 
• For installing spotlights in a solid wooden beam, we recommend ordering the Navarra spotlights. 
• Also order a wall dimmer so you can control the lighting on your porch from a fixed point. 

Long lifespan 

Finally, with the Milano smart LED recessed downlights, you have durable outdoor lighting that will last for years. The Cree LED downlights have a lifespan of more than 25,000 hours. You use these spotlights on average 8 hours a day for 250 days a year. This means that with average use, these spotlights will last more than 12 years.
