The Ideal Lux Spike 345468 is a compact surface-mounted LED ceiling light designed for focused illumination in dry indoor areas. Its cylindrical shape, white finish and small 10 cm diameter give it a clean, understated appearance that works particularly well in modern kitchens, hallways, utility spaces and commercial interiors. Unlike a recessed downlight, the Spike mounts directly onto the ceiling, making it useful where there is insufficient ceiling depth for a recessed fitting. An integrated 10W LED provides warm white light at 3000K, while the satin opal diffuser helps soften the light at the base of the fitting.
The Spike has a simple cylindrical aluminium body in a white powder-coated finish. At approximately 10 cm in diameter and 8.6 cm high, it sits close to the ceiling without requiring a recessed opening.
A satin opal polycarbonate diffuser covers the integrated light source. This creates a neat, enclosed underside and reduces direct visibility of the LED components. The plain white exterior suits minimalist and contemporary interiors, while the compact proportions make it easy to use as a single fitting or as part of a repeated lighting arrangement.
The integrated 10W LED produces warm white light with a colour temperature of 3000K. Its downward-facing output is suited to illuminating circulation areas, work surfaces and selected zones rather than providing wide decorative illumination across a large room.
The satin opal diffuser helps distribute the light more evenly below the fitting and reduces harsh glare from the LED source. A colour rendering index above 90 means colours and surface finishes are displayed more naturally than with lower-CRI lighting.
The LED and driver are included, so no separate bulb is required. This model is designed for standard on/off operation and is not dimmable. Its IP20 rating limits installation to dry indoor locations away from water and excessive moisture.

Understanding LED colour temperature and the Kelvin scale
Colour temperature 2000K to 3000K, the light produced is often referred to as a "warm white", "soft white", occasionally called a "candle white". It ranges from orange-ish to yellow-ish white in appearance. This kind of light is attractive, enjoyable, comfortable and relaxing.
Colour temperature 3100K to 4500K, the light produced is often referred to as a "neutral white", "bright white" or "natural white". Light sources within this range will emit a more neutral white light and may even have a slightly blue tint. This kind of light is bright, vibrant and clean appearing.

Colour temperature 4600K and above, the light produced is often referred to as a "cool white", "pure white" or "day white". Light sources in this range will have a blue-ish white tint to them. The higher the number, the more blueish it will appear. This kind of light will appear crisp, invigorating and energetic.
