Nanoleaf Essentials 3-inch Smart Downlight (Matter, Single Pack)

3-inch recessed downlight with 550 lumens, a 42° beam angle, CRI 90+, 16 million colors, and tunable white light from 2700K–6500K.

Product Overview

A 3-inch recessed smart downlight with 550 lumens, a 42° beam angle, CRI 90+, support for 16 million colors, and tunable white light from 2700K to 6500K. Connect it to your smart home via Matter.

Downlights are one of the most easily overlooked types of lighting. Traditional downlights only offer on and off, with a fixed color temperature. If you want to dim them, you need to replace the lights or add a dimmer. With smart downlights, the same cutout can provide full-color lighting, tunable white light, and scheduling.

This model is 3 inches, making it suitable for the common false-ceiling cutout size in Hong Kong. With 550 lumens, it offers a visual impression similar to a traditional 50–60W spotlight. Its 42° beam angle focuses light downward, making it suitable for hallways, entryways, and bedside reading areas.

A CRI of 90 or above means colors appear close to how they look in natural light, so wood flooring, fabrics, and food do not look distorted. Connect via Matter to Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa, and control the light with voice commands, scenes, or schedules.

Six Key Highlights

One Cutout, Multiple Lighting Options

Traditional downlights only offer one color temperature, while smart downlights can be continuously adjusted from warm 2700K to cool 6500K white. They can also use full-color lighting to create ambience.

• Over 16 million colors
• White light continuously adjustable from 2700K–6500K
• Adjustable brightness

550 Lumens, 42° Beam Angle

The 550 lumens are sufficient for hallways and entryways, while the 42° beam angle focuses light downward and reduces glare caused by reflections from the ceiling.

CRI 90+, accurate colors

High color rendering means objects appear close to how they look in natural light, so wood tones, fabrics, and food do not look overly yellow or green.

Cutout and installation

This is a recessed downlight that requires a ceiling cutout. Before installation, confirm that your ceiling's cutout size and depth are sufficient, and have the wiring completed by a licensed electrician.
