Product Description
The Brilliant GU5.3 9W Deep IP65 Plaster-in Downlight is a trimless recessed deep baffled architectural downlight, which is suitable for Zones 1 and 2. The combination of the SORAA Brilliant range of light sources and Levello Light fittings gives a luminaire which is flexible, easy to maintain and has excellent colour rendering. Once installed it has an almost invisible appearance in the ceiling, especially when used with paintable front plates.
Soraa Brilliant lamps offer a highly efficient, high-lumen solution combining excellent colour performance and world class optics at an affordable price point. The GU5.3 lamps are supplied with a pre-wired Soraa Optima Driver for simple quick installation.
You can select from non fire-rated and 60-minute fire-rated options above; a variety of beam angles as well as Glare Reduction Options.
This product is fully interchangeable with any of the products in the Levello range (all of the Levello products fit into the same housing). Luminaires and lamps (and even PIR's) can be swapped quickly and simply, should the need arise simply, quickly and easily without damaging the ceiling.

Product Features
Lighting Looking Fabulous
Completely Flush Finish
Once Installed, the Luminaire fits completely flush with the ceiling making it almost invisible.
Paintable Front Plates
With our unique paintable front plate option, the front of fitting blends in with the rest of the ceiling and more importantly won't become yellow with ageing, unlike other light fittings.
Simple Easy Installation
Plaster in light fittings can be challenging to install, but with our tried and tested installation method this is simple and easy.
Flexibility
Should you or your client need to change how the space is used, the light fitting can be quickly and easily swapped for one of our other products, such as a pendant.
Simply Perfect Light
Point Source Optics™
Point Source Optics deliver exceptional beam quality with crisp shadows, perfect uniformity and precisely controlled beam distributions from 10° to 60°.
Superior Colour Rendition
Soraa BRILLIANT lamps give superior colour rendition of CRI 90 and R9 50 for deeper reds and natural skin tones
Easy Maintenance
No spring clips, no complicated twist and lock fixing systems, just simple magnets. Pull the insert out and swap the lamp or even change the fitting.
What's in the box
We supply everything you need to install and fit our products with the exception of a 62mm holesaw which you will find under accessories section of our website
First Fix Housing
You can choose between using our Classic Housing or our Retrofit Housing. The First Fix Housing is supplied complete with the supply connector and installation instructions. The Housings can be ordered separately so that the second fix components do not get lost on site.
Pre-wired Driver with Connectors
The Divers are supplied pre-wired with both mains and low voltage connectors and a GU5.3 lampholder, these are factory tested to ensure a simple quick installation.
IP65 Front Plate
The IP65 Front Plate (or bezel) is zinc plated before it is finished to minimise the chances of corrosion. It has glass bonded in between one of the magnets and the front plate to stop water ingress. Paintable front plates which become more or less invisible in the ceiling are available.
Deep Insert
The Deep insert comes assembled with a magnet and is supplied with a spring clip to hold the lamp in place.
Magnets
One magnet is supplied as one magnet is in fixed to the directional insert and another into the IP65 Front Plate - the Levello system requires 3 magnets in total.
Decorators Cards
We supply decorators cards to protect the interior of the first fix housing from contamination from paint or plaster. See installation instructions on their use.
Soraa Brilliant Lamp
The lamp will be fitted with any accessories ordered, just fit the GU5.3 lampholder, pop it into the installed housing and the magnet will guide it into place.
Installation
First Fix Installation
Installation is simple and the results will be fabulous, as long as you follow our installation steps.
The supply cable is terminated to the connector and to the earth strap of the housing. Next, the housing is permanently fixed into the ceiling. The ceiling is then plastered so the rim of the housing is flush with the plastered ceiling (see Video). Decorators’ cards are provided to protect the inside of the housing from contamination with paint or plaster (see previous picture).
Second Fix Installation
Fit the lamp into the Deep Insert (see video), plug in the connector and fit the insert into the housing. The magnets will help guide it into place.
You can download the installation leaflet from the documents tab and more information is available on our Installation Guide page - link below
