Clipsal TPDL1C3 | 7W Tri-Colour Dimmable LED Downlight | 90mm Hole
The Clipsal TPDL1C3 is a 7W tri-colour dimmable LED downlight kit rated 240V, delivering 700–750 lumens depending on the selected colour temperature. The TPDL1C3 is designed for residential and commercial ceiling installations where a recessed, low-glare light output is required. A tri-colour temperature selector switch allows the installer to choose between 3000K (warm), 4000K (neutral), or 6000K (daylight) at installation time. The TPDL1C3 complies with AS/NZS 60598.2.2 and AS/NZS 61347 standards.
Retrofit and renovation work often requires downlight replacements in tight ceiling cavities. The TPDL1C3 fits standard cavity depths at just 58 mm and allows the installer to choose colour temperature on installation, removing guesswork. Electricians value the IC-4 safety rating: the fitting can sit abutted to building materials and covered by insulation without risk of overheating. The IP44 front rating also supports sheltered outdoor use (patios, eaves), broadening where the TPDL1C3 can be specified on a single job.
The dimmable design works with Clipsal LED dimmer products, allowing brightness control where needed. Professional installers appreciate the straightforward compatibility and plug-and-flex connection (included in the kit), which reduces on-site wiring time. The 50,000-hour lifespan (at L70) and 3-year manufacturer warranty (in-home service) deliver long-term durability for residential and light commercial use.

Where to use
- Kitchen ceilings — the TPDL1C3 delivers strong illumination (700–750 lm) for task lighting and general food preparation areas without excessive heat.
- Living and dining areas — tri-colour temperature selection allows warm (3000K) tones for relaxation or cool (6000K) for task-focused spaces.
- Bedroom retrofit lighting — low glare and dimmable dimming support comfortable, adjustable lighting for sleeping and dressing areas.
- Bathroom and ensuite downlights — IP44 rating and moisture-resistant design suit damp zones where standard downlights are restricted.
- Sheltered outdoor eaves — IP44 front protection enables use in covered outdoor areas (verandas, patios) where splash zones exist.
- Commercial office and retail ceilings — dimmable operation and daylight temperature option support task lighting and display applications.
- Rental property upgrades — energy-efficient replacement of older halogen or incandescent downlights reduces tenant-facing energy bills and improves safety.
The Clipsal TPDL1C3 is not suitable for fully weatherproof or submerged outdoor installations. It is not rated for exterior walls exposed to rain or direct weather, or for installations where water ingress is a risk. Do not use the TPDL1C3 in sauna, steam room, or high-humidity environments exceeding 95% relative humidity without additional protective housing.
