The NLS 20096 is a 15W recessed LED downlight for 240V ceiling installation. It has three colour options: 3000K (warm), 4000K (neutral), and 6000K (cool). You select the colour before installation using a switch inside the driver. It comes with flex and plug ready to plug into a surface socket. The 20096 is dimmable with standard leading-edge or trailing-edge dimmers.
Most ceiling downlights are 50–75W halogen fittings. They generate heat and need globe replacement every few years. The NLS 20096 outputs the same brightness (1200 lumens) but uses only 15W. It saves 85–90% of the energy cost and lasts 50,000 hours. You will not need to replace the globe for about 27 years. The tri-colour switch lets you choose warm light for relaxation, neutral for general use, or cool light for task work. All three colours work on the same fitting. This cuts inventory needs and speeds up installation.
Electricians use the 20096 for kitchen and bathroom retrofits. The 120-degree beam angle spreads light evenly across benches and mirrors without harsh shadows. The dimmable output reduces glare on screens. The IP44 rating handles moisture in bathroom ceiling cavities. The flex-and-plug design plugs into a surface socket on any 10A circuit. No new wiring needed. You stock one SKU that covers three colours and works with both leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers. This simplifies site work.
The NLS 20096 is not suitable for unprotected external ceilings, pergolas, or covered outdoor areas. Do not install in wet open-air locations or any ceiling exposed to direct rainfall or prolonged moisture without a protective housing.

Installation of the NLS 20096 must be carried out by a licensed electrician where required by your state electrical standards. The 20096 comes with flex and plug and connects to a surface socket on a 10A circuit, but safe operation and compliance with AS/NZS 3000 requires a qualified installer to verify the circuit integrity and correct connection.
The 20096 has a small colour-select switch inside the driver unit. Before installing the downlight into the ceiling, flip the switch to your preferred colour: 3000K (warm white for relaxation areas), 4000K (neutral white for general use), or 6000K (cool white for task lighting). Once set, the colour remains fixed until you access the driver again to change it.
Yes, the 20096 is dimmable with both leading-edge (triac) and trailing-edge dimmer switches. Most residential dimmers are leading-edge, so it will work with your existing dimmer without needing a special controller or additional wiring. Test dimming before relying on it for the full installed range, as some older dimmers may flicker at very low brightness levels.
The 20096 is 15W and outputs 1200 lumens, making it suitable for general-purpose room lighting and retrofit of 50–75W halogens. The NLS 20111 is 10W with 900 lumens, better for smaller spaces or accent lighting. Both are tri-colour and dimmable; choose the 20096 for kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas, and the 20111 for bedrooms, hallways, or spaces where lower light output is preferred.
The NLS 20096 is rated for 50,000 hours (approximately 27 years at 5 hours daily use). The LED is not user-replaceable; when the light eventually fails after many years, the entire downlight assembly is replaced. This design eliminates the need for globe changes and minimises maintenance costs across the fitting's lifespan compared to halogen alternatives that require globe replacement every 2–3 years.
The NLS 20096 is rated IP44, making it suitable for indoor bathrooms and moisture-prone areas. IP44 means it resists splashing water and condensation in typical residential bathrooms. It is not suitable for open-air or unprotected external ceilings; use it indoors only.
