- Check the space is genuinely small - at 500 lumens this is for cupboards, pantries and corridors. A bedroom needs 12W fixtures, not nine of these.
- Work out how many - one for a cupboard, two for a small WC, one every 3 feet down a corridor.
- Order them together - LED colour varies slightly between production runs, and in a corridor you see six at once. Buy one batch, plus a spare.
- Measure the void and cut - the small body fits where larger housings will not, but confirm the depth first.
- Set the colour temperature - warmer for corridors and porches, neutral for a pantry where you read labels. Same setting across the run.
- Connect and seat - a licensed electrician makes the connections, then each fixture goes in until it sits flush.
The smallest fixture in the range
6W and around 500 lumens. This is not a room light and it is not pretending to be one. It is the fixture for the places a bigger downlight would be wasted: a cupboard, a pantry, a porch soffit, a run of low-level light down a corridor.
It is also the one people buy in quantity, because at this size the answer is usually several rather than one.

Do not light a room with these
A bedroom would need eight or nine of them, which means nine holes, nine connections and a ceiling covered in small fixtures. Two 12W downlights do the same job better and cost less to install. Use 6W where the space is genuinely small.
Buying in quantity
Because you usually need several, buy them in one order from one batch. LED colour varies slightly between production runs, and in a corridor where you see six at once, one running warmer than the rest is obvious. Add one spare to the order while you are at it.
Colour temperature
Adjustable at the fixture. Warmer for a corridor or a porch. Neutral for a pantry or a utility cupboard where you need to read labels. Same setting across the whole run.
Installation
Hardwired and recessed, fitted by a licensed electrician. The small size means it fits where larger housings will not, but still confirm the void depth before cutting.
