Nothing drops into your eyeline and nothing interrupts the sightline across the room — which is the whole reason to spend this much on extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003ecompact motor\u003c\/strong\u003e version, and its advantage over the cubic-motor LAM2952 is depth: the panel is only \u003cstrong\u003e195mm\u003c\/strong\u003e deep against the LAM2952's 319mm, so it needs materially less ceiling void. If your void is tight, this is the one that fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e581 m³\/h with a 650 m³\/h boost, four dimmable-warm 2W LEDs, three speeds plus boost, a filter replacement indicator and a run-on timer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you cannot buy this direct.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lamona is Howdens' own brand and Howdens sell only to trade account holders.

Howdens publish no duct size at all on their web specification — we took this from their installation manual for this exact model. The manual adds that the 89 × 222mm exhaust “can be transferred to a circular duct of Ø150mm at a later stage”, so a round 150mm run is possible but needs a transition piece. \u003cstrong\u003eIf you want a straightforward circular 150mm outlet, the LAM2952 has one natively and costs the same.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is hard wired\u003c\/strong\u003e on a 10A supply.

Every Howdens document for this product — the installation manual cover, its technical specification table and the shared user manual — says \u003cstrong\u003eLAM2951\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the code 6810-P6B4 appears in none of them. Buy on the product code. You may still see the factory code on the rating plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHowdens' lighting row is mislabelled.\u003c\/strong\u003e Their page says \u003cem\u003eLight Wattage (Per Bulb): 8W\u003c\/em\u003e with four lights, which would be 32W. All three Howdens manuals say 4 × 2W LED — so 8W is the total, not the per-bulb figure. We have quoted the manual. Their page also gives a colour temperature range of 2700K–4000K where the manuals say a fixed 2700K, so we would not rely on the lights being tunable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are not sure this model can recirculate, and we are not going to claim it can.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens list \u003cem\u003eVenting Type: External\u003c\/em\u003e only, yet also carry a row saying a carbon filter is required for recirculation and not included — and their installation manual names no carbon filter part for this model at all, where the LAM2952's manual names one. Treat this as a ducted hood. If recirculating is your only option, talk to us first and consider the LAM2952 instead, which is explicitly rated for both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLAM2951 or LAM2952?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey cost the same and share a chassis, a width and a depth. \u003cstrong\u003eThe LAM2952 is the better appliance on paper\u003c\/strong\u003e — A+ against B, 46dB against 51dB, a native Ø150mm circular outlet, and it is explicitly rated for recirculation as well as ducting. \u003cstrong\u003eChoose this LAM2951 for one reason: it is 124mm shallower\u003c\/strong\u003e (195mm against 319mm), so it fits a ceiling void that the LAM2952 will not. If your void is deep enough, buy the LAM2952.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGuarantee\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 year Lamona manufacturer's guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Howdens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56868666704258,"sku":"LAM2951","price":1158.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0038\/9608\/2532\/files\/ass_25636137.jpg?v=1787657496","url":"https:\/\/www.welovekitchens.co.uk\/products\/lamona-lam2951-90cm-stainless-steel-compact-motor-ceiling-cooker-hood","provider":"We Love Kitchens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
