Where This Shallow Commercial Downlight Works Best
FST-HY-HC04 is designed for shopping malls, retail stores, hotel lobbies, offices, exhibition halls and circulation areas where the ceiling cavity is more limited than a deep commercial housing allows. Six sizes cover 10W to 45W.
The series can be configured with an SMD or COB light source. This choice should be made according to the required beam character, output, optical appearance and project specification rather than treated as interchangeable after production.
How to Select the Size and Configuration
| Project condition | Selection guidance |
|---|---|
| Limited ceiling depth or compact area | Check the 10W model with a 75 mm cut-out and 50 mm body height. |
| Standard retail, office or hotel ceiling | Compare the 10W and 15W versions with 95 mm and 115 mm cut-outs. |
| Medium commercial area | The 25W model uses a 140 mm cut-out and 85 mm body height. |
| Large public area or higher output requirement | Review the 35W and 45W versions after confirming ceiling height, spacing and target illuminance. |
| Focused distribution | 24° or 38° provides more concentrated light and should be checked against spacing. |
| Broader general lighting | 60° covers a wider area and may suit open commercial zones. |
Although the body is shallow, sufficient space is still required for the driver, wiring and heat dissipation. Confirm the complete installation detail before the ceiling opening is prepared.
What to Confirm Before Ordering
- Available ceiling depth, including driver and wiring space
- 75–200 mm cut-out and selected product size
- 10W, 15W, 25W, 35W or 45W power
- SMD or COB light-source configuration
- 24°, 38° or 60° beam angle
- Input voltage, CCT, CRI and driver requirement
- Dry indoor installation, as the listed rating is IP20
- Sample quantity, project quantity, packaging and delivery schedule
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of the shallow body?
It reduces the recessed installation depth compared with a deeper commercial housing. The driver, wiring and ventilation space still need to be checked.
Should I choose SMD or COB?
The choice depends on the optical effect, output and project specification. Confirm it together with beam angle and driver before sample production.
Which model fits the smallest ceiling cavity?
The smallest version is Ø85 × H50 mm with a 75 mm cut-out and 10W power. Check the separate driver and wiring space as well.
Can it be used outdoors?
No. The listed IP20 rating is intended for dry indoor areas.
Can I order a sample first?
Yes. A sample can confirm the cut-out, installation depth, optical configuration, beam distribution, color and driver before bulk production.
For a shallow model with IP65 front protection, compare FST-HY-HC03. For a deep-baffle commercial option, see FST-HY-HC06.
