Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local building regulations. Ensure the power is completely isolated at the consumer unit before beginning work.
- Cutout: Create a 9cm hole in the desired ceiling location.
- Wiring: Connect the mains 220-240V AC supply to the terminal block, ensuring all connections are secure.
- Mounting: Use the rubber-coated spring clips to fold back and insert the unit into the ceiling hole; the springs will hold it firmly in place.
- Bulb Insertion: Insert your chosen GU10 bulb and secure it using the twist-lock ring.
For maintenance, keep the exterior clean by wiping it gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the grey finish. Periodically check the bulb and electrical connections during maintenance intervals.
