Can I install this in my bathroom?
Yes, this downlight has an IP65 rating, making it suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2 in bathrooms and wet rooms, offering protection against water jets and dust.
How do I switch between warm, daylight, and cool white light?
There is a front-facing Colour Changing (CCT) switch on the downlight itself. You can easily flick this switch to select your preferred light tone (3000K, 4000K, or 6000K).
What is the fire rating for this downlight?
This downlight is fire rated for 30, 60, and 90 minutes, complying with building regulations for fire safety in various ceiling types.
Do I need a special dimmer switch for this downlight?

What are the physical dimensions of the downlight?
The downlight has a diameter of 83.82mm (approx. 84mm), a height of 82mm, and requires a ceiling cut-out of 70mm.
Is the rose gold finish durable?
Soho Lighting uses high-quality components. While the finish is designed to be aesthetically pleasing and durable for interior use, care should be taken to avoid abrasive cleaning methods to maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting

Check that the power supply is switched on at the breaker. Verify all connections between the mains, the driver, and the downlight are secure. Ensure the dimmer switch (if used) is compatible and functioning.
Light flickers
This could indicate an incompatible dimmer switch or a loose connection. Ensure the dimmer is rated for LED lights and is properly installed. Check all wiring connections.
Cannot change colour temperature
Ensure the downlight is fully powered. If the issue persists after checking power, the CCT switch mechanism may require further inspection or professional assistance.
