The Searchlight Jude 38331-40 LED flush ceiling light combines a contemporary circular design with an amber acrylic diffuser that softens and spreads the light across a room. Measuring 40 cm in diameter and just 9 cm in height, it sits close to the ceiling, making it particularly suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and spaces where a low-profile fitting is preferred. Its integrated 24W LED provides illumination without the need to purchase separate bulbs. A selectable colour temperature allows the lighting to be adapted to different activities, from relaxed evening use to brighter everyday illumination. With dimming capability and a simple, uncluttered appearance, Jude offers practical lighting flexibility in a compact ceiling-mounted design.
The Jude ceiling light has a rounded, low-profile design with an amber acrylic diffuser and a metal body. Its clean circular outline gives it a contemporary appearance, while the amber colouring adds a warmer decorative element than a conventional plain white ceiling light.
The diffuser covers the integrated LED light source, helping to create a more even spread of illumination without exposing individual LEDs. At 40 cm in diameter and 9 cm high, the fitting provides a relatively broad illuminated surface while remaining close to the ceiling.
Its understated shape works well with modern, minimalist and softly decorated interiors.
Jude features an integrated 24W LED light source, so no separate bulbs are required. Light passes through the amber acrylic diffuser, producing a broad, softened distribution suitable for general room illumination.
A built-in colour temperature selector provides three lighting settings:
- 3000K - warm white light for living rooms, bedrooms and relaxed evening use.
- 4500K - neutral white light for general everyday activities.
- 6500K - cool daylight-style illumination for areas where a crisper white light is preferred.
The colour temperature is selected using a switch inside the fitting, as shown in the installation instructions. It is not described as a remote-controlled or continuously adjustable colour-changing system.
The integrated LED is also confirmed as dimmable, providing additional control over brightness when connected to compatible dimming equipment. The manufacturer does not specify a particular dimmer model in the available product information.
Because the LED light source is built into the fitting, there are no conventional replaceable bulbs or lampholders.

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.
