Falmec Light Is.120 CLTI20.E0P2#BRSN451F – 120 cm Recirculation Island Hood Bronze Satin Profile – Review

The Falmec Light Is.120 CLTI20.E0P2#BRSN451F (EAN 8034122364872) is a 120 cm suspended island recirculation cooker hood from the Design Collection by Falmec S.p.A. (Via dell'Artigianato 42, 31029 Vittorio Veneto, TV), manufactured in Italy. The design is inspired by the "less is more" principle: the hood consists of an ultra-slim 10 cm extraction body in painted black steel, a 120 cm smoked tempered glass panel, and two lateral profiles in anodised satin aluminium with bronze finish (BRSN451F variant), with integrated 3000 K LED strips for diffuse lighting along the full lower perimeter. Total dimensions are W 1231 × H 500–2400 × D 600 mm: suspension height is adjustable via cables from a minimum of 500 mm to a maximum of 2400 mm (up to 3400 mm with optional kit KACL.144). Weight is 31 kg. The motor is Brushless with Multi-Air Technology, patented by Falmec: rather than concentrating extraction power in a single large motor, Multi-Air distributes the same capacity across multiple small motors, enabling the extraction body to be contained within just 10 cm in height. The airflow is 500 m³/h, with a maximum motor power of 90 W and a total maximum consumption of 150 W – 220-240 V – 50-60 Hz. Suction is perimeter-type. The hood operates exclusively in recirculation mode, without the need for ducting: air is filtered through the integrated Carbon.Zeo combined system (activated carbon + zeolites) via the included KACL.964 filter. The optional Carbon.Zeo Microtech KACL.1057 regenerable filter is available for even more effective, long-term filtration. Controls are via an electronic panel with 4 speeds; the remote control is included. The hood features Dialogue System, communicating via radio frequency with compatible Falmec induction hobs for automatic extraction management. The minimum distance from the hob is 52 cm (electric) and 65 cm (gas).

Assessment

The Falmec Light Is.120 CLTI20.E0P2#BRSN451F is one of the most innovative and distinctive island hoods in the Italian market: the 10 cm extraction body made possible by Multi-Air technology opens up previously unthinkable design possibilities, especially in open-plan kitchens where the hood is a visual centrepiece. The bronze satin finish on the lateral profiles is the most sought-after variant in the Light range, particularly well suited to kitchens with warm-toned finishes (brass, copper, natural wood, light stone), creating a striking chromatic harmony. The choice to make it recirculation-only is not a limitation: the integrated Carbon.Zeo technology ensures effective odour removal without ducting, offering total freedom of positioning. The included KACL.964 filter delivers good performance; the optional regenerable KACL.1057 is the more cost-effective long-term choice. The Brushless motor offers high durability and restrained consumption — 90 W of motor power for 500 m³/h is an excellent figure for a design hood. The included remote control adds practical convenience. Worth noting: the 500 m³/h airflow is optimal for standard domestic hobs up to 90 cm; for 120 cm hobs or particularly intensive cooking, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering.

FAQ

What is the difference between the Falmec Light CLTI20.E0P2#BRSN451F (bronze) and the CLTI20.E0P2#NRSN451F (black) variant?
Both variants are technically identical: same painted black steel structure, same smoked tempered glass, same Multi-Air Brushless technology 500 m³/h, same dimensions (1231 × 600 mm) and same weight (31 kg). The only difference is in the lateral aluminium profiles: the BRSN451F variant (EAN 8034122364872) features anodised satin aluminium profiles in bronze, while the NRSN451F variant has profiles in matt black anodised aluminium. The KACL.964 odour filter and the 3000 K LED strip are identical in both versions.

Can the Falmec Light Is.120 be installed in ducted mode (with external exhaust)?
No. The CLTI20.E0P2#BRSN451F is designed and built to operate exclusively in recirculation mode. It has no outlet for external ducting. This design choice is intrinsically linked to the Multi-Air technology and the 10 cm ultra-slim body, which do not allow for the integration of an external air exhaust path. Filtration effectiveness is ensured by the included Carbon.Zeo system.

Is the Carbon.Zeo KACL.964 filter included with the Falmec Light regenerable?
No. The included KACL.964 is a high-performance Carbon.Zeo filter (activated carbon + zeolites) but is not regenerable: it requires periodic replacement. Falmec offers as an optional accessory the Carbon.Zeo Microtech KACL.1057, which is regenerable via a domestic oven cycle — the recommended choice to reduce long-term maintenance costs and minimise waste.
