V-TAC VT-61003 recessed LED panel 3 W 4000 K 330 lm square 90x90 mm white

VT-61003 is the smallest recessed panel in V-TAC's Premium Downlight range: a 9 cm square with a 2.8 cm installation depth, in white. Three watts and 330 lumens make it a supplementary fitting — one point will not light a room, but several set out on a regular grid give even, shadow-free light over a worktop, in a corridor, in a dressing room or in a shop display.

110 lm/W at 3 W

An efficacy of 110 lumens per watt is well above what a fitting this small usually manages — at this power level efficiency normally drops, because the electronics take a disproportionate share. 4000 K is neutral white: no yellow cast to shift colour perception over a work surface, and none of the bluish chill that grates in the evening. A colour rendering index above 80 is enough for a shop, an office or a kitchen.

SDCM 6 colour consistency — worth knowing

The declared colour consistency is SDCM 6. That means shade differences between individual units can be visible when two fittings light the same white wall side by side. Spread across several rooms, one per room, it makes no difference. For a row of panels in a single line, order all of them together, from one batch.

Supply and control

The panel connects straight to 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz — the driver is built in, so no space is needed for one in the ceiling. The manufacturer states the fitting is not dimmable, so it should not be wired to a wall dimmer. The declared displacement factor is cos φ 0.5 — irrelevant for one or two units, but worth allowing for when several dozen share one circuit.

Service life and documents

V-TAC declares over 15 000 switching cycles — a figure that matters in a corridor on a motion sensor, where the fitting switches dozens of times a day. The declared service life corresponds to about 18 years at three hours a day. The product is registered in the EU EPREL database under number 1567427 in energy efficiency class E, with a two-year warranty.
