About the designer

Ernesto Gismondi (1931–2020), an aeronautical engineer by training, founded Artemide in 1960 with Sergio Mazza and led it for six decades, turning it into one of the world's leading lighting companies. He also designed many Artemide lamps himself, and in 2018 he received a Compasso d'Oro career award.

Best for

Architectural and residential ceilings: accent, wall-washing and general lighting.

Who this is not for

  • Renters or anyone without an electrician: it is hardwired to a junction box.
  • Plug-and-play installs: this 24V DC light needs a separate remote power supply and professional installation.
  • Anyone who needs it soon when choosing a special-order option: those are ordered from Italy and take 10–16 weeks.

Why we carry it

We list every Ego Downlight option from Artemide North America's current price book with its exact item number, spec sheet and lead time, so the light you order is the one you planned.

Care

Our Lighting Advisor's Verdict

★ Lighting Advisor's Verdict☀ Outdoor-Rated🇮🇹 Made in ItalyDesigned by Ernesto Gismondi✓ cULus listedIP65 / IP67 rated5-year Artemide warranty

The Ego Recessed Downlight by Ernesto Gismondi is one we recommend for outdoor-rated construction.

Choose it for architectural and residential ceilings: accent, wall-washing and general lighting.

Not ideal for renters or anyone without an electrician: it is hardwired to a junction box.

Our pick: Aluminum with LED 1.44W · 3000K · 16°×34° · 24VDC, for integrated LED, so there are no bulbs to buy and 3000K light, warm but clear. That version is a special order from Italy (10–16 weeks).
