Grille LED Downlight D160 Series 20-30W Supplier

What is the Grille LED Downlight D160 Series and where is it specified?

At XHLWX (led-project-light.com), a Custom Indoor LED Lighting Manufacturer based in China, we present the Grille LED Downlight D160 Series, an architectural recessed luminaire engineered for commercial applications demanding superior visual comfort and photometric performance. This series, available in 20W, 25W, and 30W models, is characterized by its deep-set LED module and black anti-glare grille baffle, which minimizes direct brightness and ensures a low Unified Glare Rating (UGR). The housing is constructed from high-purity ADC12 die-cast aluminum for optimal thermal management and durability, finished in a minimalist Matt White or Matt Black. With a standard Ø150mm cutout, the D160 is ideal for seamless integration into plasterboard or grid ceilings in high-end retail, corporate offices, and hospitality projects across Europe, the US, and the Middle East.

Photometric and electrical specification

The D160 Series is designed to meet stringent international standards. We provide full IES and LDT photometric files for use in DIALux and other lighting design software to verify performance in your project.

Which spaces is it designed for?

The D160 Grille Downlight's precision optics and high-quality construction make it an adaptable solution for specifiers and contractors working on demanding commercial interiors. Its primary strength lies in creating comfortable, visually appealing environments while meeting technical lighting requirements.

How can this downlight enhance a high-end retail environment?

For luxury retail stores, product presentation is paramount. The D160 series excels with its high-CRI options (CRI>95), rendering the colors of merchandise with exceptional accuracy and vibrancy. Using the narrow 15° or 24° beam angles, designers can create dramatic accent lighting, drawing customers' attention to key displays and products. The deep-recessed, low-glare design ensures that the focus remains on the merchandise, not the light source, providing a comfortable and premium shopping experience with illuminance levels of 750-1000 lux on target displays.

What are the benefits for modern office and conference room lighting?

In modern office design, compliance with lighting standards like EN 12464-1 is critical for employee well-being and productivity. The D160 series, when specified with the correct optics, achieves a UGR of <19, making it ideal for use above VDU workstations. This significantly reduces screen glare and visual fatigue. A 4000K CCT configuration provides a neutral, energizing light suitable for concentration. Paired with a DALI-2 driver, the luminaires can be integrated into a smart building system for daylight harvesting or scene-setting in conference rooms, dimming smoothly to 1% for presentations.

Why is it a good choice for hotel lobbies, restaurants, and corridors?

The hospitality sector requires lighting that is both functional and atmospheric. The D160's architectural design, with its clean trim and black baffle, offers an unobtrusive, high-end aesthetic that complements sophisticated interior designs. Warmer CCTs, such as 2700K or 3000K, create a welcoming and relaxing ambiance in lobbies and dining areas. The robust ADC12 aluminum construction and 5-year warranty backed by reliable Osram or Tridonic drivers give hotel operators peace of mind, minimizing maintenance costs and operational disruptions in a 24/7 environment.

Installation, control and compliance (DALI-2 / Casambi / 0-10V, CE / RoHS / ErP)

Installation of the D160 is straightforward, requiring a standard circular cutout of Ø150mm. The luminaire is secured into the ceiling void via two robust, spring-loaded clips. The external driver allows for easier installation and maintenance. The luminaire is fully certified with CE and RoHS for trouble-free importation and installation within the European Union. It also complies with the latest ErP directive for energy efficiency.

For control systems, we offer maximum flexibility to integrate with any building management system (BMS) or standalone control protocol. Options include:

• DALI-2: For addressable, digital control in smart commercial buildings.
• 0-10V / 1-10V: For simple and reliable analogue dimming.
• TRIAC (Phase-cut): For retrofitting into existing mains-dimmed circuits.
• Wireless: Casambi (Bluetooth Low Energy) and ZigBee options for projects where running new control wiring is impractical.

Customisation, MOQ and lead time

As a manufacturer, we offer extensive customisation. Beyond the standard Matt White and Matt Black finishes, we can produce the D160 series in any RAL colour to match your project's specific interior palette (subject to MOQ). We can also provide bespoke photometric solutions, including specific CCTs (e.g., 3500K), Dim-to-Warm (3000K to 1800K), or full RGBW versions for dynamic lighting applications.

Our typical Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is 100 units per configuration. For large-scale projects or to evaluate product quality, we can discuss smaller trial orders. Our standard production lead time is 20-25 working days from order confirmation to ex-works dispatch from our ISO9001-certified facility in China.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the UGR rating of the D160 Series Grille Downlight?

A: The D160 Series is engineered for low-glare applications. With the appropriate reflector and positioning, it consistently achieves a Unified Glare Rating (UGR) of less than 19, making it compliant with standards for office and educational environments like EN 12464-1. This ensures high visual comfort, especially in spaces with computer screens. We provide full photometric data, including UGR tables within our DIALux files, for accurate project planning.

Q: Are IES or LDT files available for lighting simulation software?

A: Yes, absolutely. We provide comprehensive photometric data for all configurations of the D160 series. You can request complete IES and LDT files for your specific CCT, CRI, and beam angle requirements. These files are fully compatible with professional lighting design software such as DIALux and Relux, allowing for precise calculations of lux levels, uniformity, and glare. This ensures your project meets its design intent and regulatory standards before installation.

Q: What is the warranty period and which driver brands do you use?

A: The Grille LED Downlight D160 Series comes with a standard 5-year warranty, covering both the LED module and the driver. To ensure maximum reliability and compatibility with control systems, we partner with world-leading driver manufacturers. Our standard offerings include drivers from Tridonic, Osram, and Philips, with options for DALI-2, 0-10V, and TRIAC dimming. We can also accommodate requests for other specified brands like TCI or BOKE.

Q: Can I order this downlight in a custom RAL colour or a specific CCT?

A: Yes, customization is a core part of our service. While our standard finishes are Matt White (RAL9003) and Matt Black (RAL9005), we can produce the housing in any custom RAL colour for projects with an MOQ of 200 units or more. We also offer precise CCT options beyond our standard range, including specialized CCTs like 3500K, and can provide high-fidelity CRI 98+ or tunable white (DTW) versions upon request.
