Habo IC4 IP65 Downlight

Aluminium

Care Requirement - Regular maintenance and scratch protection 

Cleaning Guide - Metal surfaces should be cleaned every 1–2 weeks to maintain their finish and prevent dust or residue build-up. Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust and fingerprints. For stains or signs of tarnish, use a metal cleaner suitable for the specific finish, applying it carefully to restore the surface without causing damage. 

Placement Guide - Metal finishes should be positioned in areas with medium sunlight exposure, with indirect light preferred, as prolonged direct sunlight can cause surfaces to heat up and potentially discolour over time. These materials have moderate tolerance to saltwater environments, however regular exposure may accelerate wear if not maintained. Metals can generally withstand higher proximity to heat sources, making them suitable for a range of interior applications. They also perform well in higher humidity environments, though proper ventilation is recommended to minimise the risk of corrosion over time. Repositioning is not required, as metals maintain their form and structure in place. 

Deep Cleaning Guide - Metal finishes should be deep cleaned every 6 months or as needed to maintain their appearance and longevity. For iron and aluminium, use a mild soap solution with warm water and a soft cloth to gently wipe down the surface. For stainless steel, apply a dedicated stainless steel cleaner to remove smudges, then polish with a microfibre cloth, always wiping in the direction of the grain to preserve the finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia or solvent-based cleaners, as well as abrasive materials like steel wool, which can damage the surface. Refrain from harsh scrubbing or forceful cleaning, particularly on delicate finishes, and do not expose metals to solvents, oils or petroleum-based products. DIY cleaning methods such as vinegar or baking soda should also be avoided, as they may compromise the integrity of the finish.

Does the Habo Downlight require a globe? 

No. The Habo Downlight features a built-in LED light source, so no globe is required. It produces 8W of power with approximately 450 lumens at 3000K, delivering a warm white light suitable for general ambient lighting. 

What ceiling cut-out size is required for the Habo Downlight? 

The Habo Downlight requires a 52mm ceiling cut-out and has a compact 60mm diameter fitting, making it suitable for installations where a small, discreet recessed light is preferred. 

What does the IC4 rating mean for the Habo Downlight? 

The Habo Downlight is IC4 rated, meaning it can be safely covered and abutted by insulation during installation. This allows for greater flexibility in ceiling installations while maintaining safe operating temperatures.
