Sona 3K LED 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. 

What configuration options are available for the Sona downlight? The Sona downlight is available in a range of wattages (including 8W, 12W and higher outputs), allowing you to select the appropriate brightness for your space. It also offers multiple beam angles, such as 38° and 58°, so you can control how focused or diffused the light spread is. 

What is the difference between the beam angle options? Beam angle determines how the light is distributed. A narrower beam (around 38°) creates a more focused, directional light ideal for highlighting features or task areas, while a wider beam (around 58°) provides broader, more even illumination suited to general lighting 

What does IC rating mean, and is the Sona downlight IC rated? The Sona downlight is available in IC-rated options (such as IC-4), meaning it can be safely installed in contact with insulation without overheating. This makes installation more flexible and helps maintain ceiling insulation performance, particularly in residential and commercial builds.
