Nordlux Alec 1-Kit 2110350103 black recessed LED downlight 3000 K Moodmaker

Nordlux Alec 1-Kit 2110350103 is a single round recessed downlight with a black plastic body. A recessed reflector sits inside a narrow light ring. These two areas provide different lighting functions, selected using an ordinary wall switch rather than a separate dimmer.

Three settings with a distinct night-light mode

Moodmaker switches between the main light at 100%, the main light at 50%, and the outer ring alone. The third setting is intended as a night light; it is not simply another brightness level for the central reflector. Switching off and on again with an interval shorter than four seconds changes the setting. The memory function retains your chosen mode when the intervals longer than six seconds described in the instructions are observed.

The integrated 6.1 W LED provides warm-white 3000 K light and a declared output of 480 lm. Its 36° beam is worth considering when spacing several fittings: one downlight should not be treated as a substitute for broad, diffuse lighting across an entire room. There is no bulb to buy separately. However, the light source is non-replaceable, so the whole fitting must be replaced when the source reaches the end of its life.

Check more than the visible diameter

The outer diameter is 9.5 cm and the body height is 5.8 cm. Nordlux specifies a built-in height of 6.8 cm and a nominal 8 cm cut-out; the adaptor accommodates openings from 73 to 83 mm. Compare both the opening and the space above your ceiling with the mounting instructions before ordering. The body height alone is not the full installation allowance. The fitting must not be covered with thermal insulation. It connects directly to 230 V mains, with parallel connection possible for up to 15 units.

A black detail for modern ceilings

The plain circular rim and recessed reflector suit modern or minimalist ceiling layouts in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and hallways. The manufacturer also permits bathroom use. Protection is IP44 on the visible underside but IP20 above the ceiling, so bathroom positioning must follow the instructions and local installation rules. IP44 does not mean the downlight can be fitted anywhere beside a bath or shower.
