Italux AURIS PLF-53749-M-CL Ceiling Light, LED 18 W 4000 K, 1260 lm, White, Ø33 cm

AURIS is a ceiling light kept as plain as possible: a white disc 33 cm across and just 7 cm deep, mounted directly to the ceiling. There is no detail here to draw the eye — and that is the point. This is a fitting for places where the light should be present and the lamp should not.

Size is the only decision

AURIS is made in three sizes on the same pattern: S, M and L (items PLF-53749-S-CL, -M-CL and -L-CL). This is the M size — Ø33 cm at 18 W. Choose by room area rather than looks: 1260 lm is sensible general lighting for a room of roughly 8–12 m², a hallway or a kitchen.

The light

The LED module is integrated — there is no bulb to change, and at the end of its life the whole fitting is replaced. It draws 18 W and gives 1260 lm at 4000 K, neutral white: without the yellow cast of 3000 K, but also without the chill of daylight. It is a colour that serves work and everyday tasks well and evening mood lighting less so. Colour rendering is CRI 80+ and the beam angle 120° — the light spreads wide, with no hard pool beneath the fitting.

What it does not do

The fitting is not dimmable: it runs at full output and will not work with a dimmer. There is no colour switch either — 4000 K is fixed at the factory.

Build and installation

The construction is steel and plastic, all in white. Supply 220–240 V, mounted straight to the ceiling. The IP20 rating restricts it to dry rooms — although the manufacturer lists a bathroom among its uses, at IP20 it must be kept clear of the shower and bath zone. Seven centimetres of depth means it does not lower the room. Italux gives a five-year warranty.
