01 / The feeling
Light Only When You Need It
Imagine a sleek gold accent that disappears into your wall when not needed, then emerges on demand to cast a focused pool of warm light exactly where you want it. This ingenious recessed fitting brings both minimalist elegance and practical brilliance to bedrooms and hallways, with its adjustable spotlight folding completely flush when off—leaving only a discreet gold frame. The warm 3000K glow creates an inviting atmosphere without disturbing others, perfect for late-night reading or subtle architectural highlighting.
The Defoe combines Italian craftsmanship with clever functionality. Its swivelling 3W LED head rotates and extends to direct 300 lumens precisely, whether you're illuminating a bedside book or accentuating artwork. Crafted from aluminium with a sophisticated gold finish, this recessed wall light includes integrated LED technology for energy-efficient performance. The neat 169mm height and 67mm width suit compact spaces beautifully, whilst the adjustable head ensures you'll never struggle with awkward fixed lighting again.

Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
Does the Defoe recessed LED wall light need to be installed by a qualified electrician?
Yes, as this is a hardwired recessed wall light, it must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with UK Building Regulations Part P. The fitting requires cutting into the wall to create a recessed mounting point and connecting directly to your mains electrical circuit, which is notifiable electrical work in most areas of the home.
Can I replace the LED bulb in this wall light when it eventually fails?
No, this fitting uses an integrated 3W LED module which is built into the unit and cannot be replaced separately. Integrated LEDs typically last 25,000-50,000 hours, which equates to many years of normal use, but when the LED eventually fails, the entire fitting would need replacing rather than just changing a bulb.
Is this wall light dimmable with a standard dimmer switch?
The specifications do not indicate that this fitting is dimmable. Unless explicitly stated as dimmable, integrated LED fittings typically cannot be used with dimmer switches and may flicker, hum, or fail if connected to one. For full control, check with the manufacturer Gruppo F.T (Luce Ambiente e Design) before installation.
What are the exact recess depth and cutout dimensions needed for installation?
The fitting has a total depth of 140mm, so you'll need at least this much space behind your wall surface for the recessed installation. The visible faceplate measures 67mm wide by 169mm high. Specific cutout dimensions and installation instructions should be provided with the fitting or available from the manufacturer prior to cutting into the wall.
Can this recessed LED wall light be used in a bathroom?
No, this fitting is rated IP20, which means it has no moisture protection and is suitable for dry indoor locations only. For bathroom use, you would need a minimum of IP44 (or IP65 for zones 1 and 2), so the Defoe should be installed in bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, or other areas away from moisture.
How bright is the 300 lumen output and what colour is the light?
At 300 lumens from a 3W LED, this fitting provides focused task lighting rather than general room illumination—ideal as an adjustable reading spot beside a bed or chair. The colour temperature is 3000K, which produces a warm white light similar to traditional incandescent bulbs, creating a cosy, relaxing atmosphere rather than a clinical bright white.
