Key Specifications for Recessed Spotlights
Color Temperature (Kelvin)
Color temperature determines the warmth or coolness of light. For Nordic residential projects, 2700K delivers a warm, cozy atmosphere. For kitchens and workspaces, 3000K offers a brighter, more functional tone. The HiluX D1 Gen3 is available in both 2700K and 3000K variants.
Color Rendering Index (CRI)
CRI measures how accurately a light source renders colors compared to sunlight (CRI 100). For professional installations, Ra90+ is the minimum recommendation. The HiluX D1 Gen3 and D8 Tilt360 both achieve Ra97 — near-perfect color rendering suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and retail. The HiluX D7 Gen2 offers Ra95.
IP Rating
IP20 is suitable for dry indoor rooms only. IP44 is required for bathrooms (zone 2 and 3) and covered outdoor areas. All HiluX D-series spotlights (D1, D7, D8) are rated IP44. The HiluX D10 frame is IP21 (dry indoor only).
Dimmability
All HiluX spotlights are fully dimmable, compatible with both leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers. The HiluX R10 Gen4 bulb features DimTone technology, automatically shifting from 3000K down to 1800K candlelight as you dim.

Where to Buy

In Denmark the HiluX range is stocked by LEDpærer.dk, which also lists the full category of LED recessed spotlights — including fixtures approved for direct contact with insulation and models with a low recess depth.
