SAL Premier S9073TC LED Downlight 18W 135mm IP64 CRI 90 - White

Description

Premium CRI 90 downlight. Three colours. Two power levels. One SKU.

The SAL Premier S9073TC/WH/DP is a dual-power 13W/18W dimmable LED downlight with selectable colour temperature (3000K / 4000K / 5700K) and CRI 90 colour rendering — the spec that architects, specifiers and hospitality fit-out teams reach for when colour accuracy genuinely matters. Add IP64 weatherproofing and IC-4 insulation class, and this downlight covers bathrooms, alfresco areas, and insulated ceilings, all from one part number.

Why the S9073TC/DP is the Specifier's Downlight

The "/DP" dual-power driver is what sets this fitting apart from a standard fixed-wattage downlight. A single switch on the driver selects 13W or 18W — letting you dial back energy consumption in areas that don't need the full output, or run at full 18W where maximum brightness is required. Combined with three selectable colour temperatures via DIP switch, one part number on the van covers warm-white living areas, cool-white kitchens and bathrooms, and daylight-mode retail or workshop spaces. No separate SKUs. No wrong fittings on site.

CRI 90 — the colour rendering tier that makes a visible difference.

General LED downlights at CRI 80 render colours acceptably for everyday residential use but tend to flatten skin tones, dull retail merchandise, and make food look less appetising. CRI 90 brings rendering close to incandescent quality — the threshold specifiers and architects request for hospitality, retail, healthcare, gallery and aged-care applications. Pair the 4000K setting with CRI 90 in a kitchen or showroom and the difference is immediately visible. The S9073TC/WH/DP delivers CRI 90 across all three colour temperatures.

Built for wet zones, insulated ceilings, and commercial control systems.

IP64 from below the ceiling means dust-tight and splash-proof from any direction — compliant for bathrooms, ensuites, laundries, and covered alfresco areas where IP44 falls short. The IC-4 double-insulated rating allows the downlight body to be safely covered and abutted with thermal ceiling insulation up to R4.0 (200mm formed insulation per AS/NZS 4859.1) — no clearance gap required. The remote driver supports trailing-edge dimming as standard, with optional 1-10V analogue, DALI, and DSI digital dimming protocols for integration into commercial lighting control systems. flickerCONTROL technology reduces visible flicker, making this fitting camera-friendly for video production and broadcast environments. Note: the remote driver must remain uncovered and accessible.

Q: Is the SAL S9073TC/WH/DP suitable for bathroom installation?
A: Yes. With an IP64 rating from below the ceiling, the S9073TC/WH/DP is compliant for bathrooms, ensuites, laundries, and covered alfresco areas. Always follow AS/NZS 3000 zone-of-protection rules — confirm required clearance distances from shower and bath zones before installation.

Q: What does the dual-power (DP) driver do and how is it selected?
A: The /DP driver allows the fitting to operate at either 13W or 18W. The power level is selected on the remote driver before installation. At 13W the fitting draws less energy and produces proportionally lower lumen output; at 18W it delivers the full 1500/1800/1600 lm output (at 3000K/4000K/5700K respectively). This gives installers and specifiers flexibility to match output to the room without needing two separate products.

Q: What dimmer is compatible with the SAL S9073TC/WH/DP?
A: The S9073TC/WH/DP requires a trailing-edge dimmer rated for LED loads for standard residential installations. Most current Australian wall dimmers from brands such as Clipsal Iconic, HPM Excel, and Mercator include trailing-edge LED-compatible models. For commercial installations the remote driver also supports 1-10V analogue, DALI, and DSI digital dimming protocols. Avoid mixing dimmer brands on the same circuit and check the dimmer's minimum and maximum LED load rating.
