OH14 Matt Black Fixed Recessed Downlight Frame

OH14 Matt Black Fixed Recessed Downlight Frame

The OH14 Matt Black Recessed Downlight Frame (P5031) is a stylish, fixed ceiling spotlight fitting designed for compatible 50 mm GU10 and MR16 (G5.3) lamps. Its smooth matt black finish and durable pressed steel construction make it an excellent choice for modern residential and commercial lighting installations.

With its round, minimalist design, this black recessed downlight ring provides a clean and professional ceiling finish. It is particularly suitable for contemporary interiors, industrial-style spaces, monochrome colour schemes and rooms featuring black lighting accessories.

The fixed, non-adjustable construction keeps the lamp facing downwards, making it ideal for general lighting where a consistent direction of illumination is required. Simply select a suitable LED lamp to achieve your preferred brightness, colour temperature and beam angle.

Modern Matt Black Ceiling Lighting

Matt black recessed downlights are an excellent choice for contemporary interiors where clean lines and minimalist design are important. The dark, non-glossy surface provides a subtle decorative contrast against white or light-coloured ceilings and blends naturally into darker ceiling finishes.

This fixed black spotlight frame works particularly well alongside black door handles, switches, sockets, pendant lights and other matching interior accessories. It can be used individually or installed in groups to provide a consistent ceiling lighting layout.

Where Can This Black Downlight Frame Be Used?

The OH14 matt black spotlight ring is designed for recessed lighting installations in dry indoor spaces. Typical applications include:

• Living rooms and contemporary lounges
• Bedrooms and dressing rooms
• Hallways, corridors and entrance areas
• Kitchens in suitable dry locations
• Home offices and workspaces
• Modern retail shops and showrooms
• Hotels, reception areas and commercial interiors
• Suitable suspended ceilings and furniture lighting

Installation and Ceiling Cut-out

The frame is designed for recessed installation in a ceiling opening measuring 60–75 mm in diameter. It has an outside diameter of 82 mm and an overall frame height of 34 mm.

Before installation, check the available ceiling void depth and allow sufficient clearance for the selected lamp, lampholder, wiring and any required power supply. The ceiling construction must be suitable for the chosen lighting installation.

As this is a fixed downlight frame, the lamp is positioned to provide downward-facing illumination. The actual lighting effect depends on the beam angle and output of the selected lamp.

GU10 and MR16 Lamp Compatibility

The OH14 frame supports suitable 50 mm GU10 and MR16 (G5.3) lamps when used with the appropriate lampholder and electrical supply.

• GU10 lamps: Use a suitable GU10 lampholder with a compatible 230 V AC supply.
• MR16 (G5.3) lamps: Use a compatible G5.3 lampholder and an appropriate 12 V LED driver or transformer.

The decorative frame itself does not determine the brightness or colour temperature of the light. Choose a compatible LED lamp according to the required lighting effect and application.
