Metrum Line silver recessed strip light for T5 tube, 60 cm

A short aluminium line

The silver profile, slim and straight, has a flat end cap at each end. The translucent white diffuser, ribbed along its length, partly masks the tube and spreads the light.

14 W T5 tube, not supplied

The lampholder takes a 14 W T5 tube, sold separately. For a worktop, a neutral white makes meal preparation easier; for a niche or a bookcase, prefer a warm white. With its IP20 rating, this light goes in dry rooms and, in a bathroom, only out of reach of splashes.

Depth to allow for

It needs 7.8 cm of clear height behind the recessing surface. At 60 cm long, it fits between two cabinet uprights or in the centre of a small recess. Measure the light before drilling. Italux guarantees it for 2 years.
