Product Information

Full details

The St Ives Down Light (Small, Silver) is designed for homeowners seeking elegant and durable exterior lighting. Its key benefit is providing focused downlighting with a robust, weatherproof finish suitable for coastal environments. A potential caveat is its rustic appearance, which is intrinsic to the hot-dipped galvanised process. This light offers a stylish, long-lasting solution for illuminating gardens, pathways, and entryways.

FAQs

What type of bulb does the St Ives Down Light use?

It uses a GU10 lamp holder. We recommend using an energy-efficient LED bulb.

Is this light suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, the hot-dipped galvanised finish is specifically designed to be extremely hardwearing and suitable for coastal locations.

Can I use this light indoors?

Yes, the St Ives Down Light is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

What does 'hot-dipped galvanised' mean for the finish?

It means the steel is coated in molten zinc after manufacturing, creating a highly durable and weatherproof finish. It also results in a unique, rough, and rustic appearance which is an intentional characteristic of the product.

What are the dimensions of the small size?

The dimensions for the small size are Height 12cm x Width 6cm x Depth 12.5cm, with a back plate diameter of 9.5cm.

Does the light come with a bulb?

No, the light requires one GU10 bulb, which needs to be purchased separately.

What is the IP rating?

The St Ives Down Light has an IP44 rating, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water from any direction.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the power supply is on. Ensure the GU10 bulb is correctly seated in the lamp holder and is functional. Verify all wiring connections are secure. Consult an electrician if issues persist.

Flickering light

This could be due to a loose bulb or a failing bulb. Try reseating the GU10 bulb or replacing it with a new one. If using an older bulb, consider switching to an LED.

Water ingress

Although IP44 rated, ensure all seals are intact and the fixture is mounted correctly to allow water runoff. Check for any cracks or damage to the fixture. Ensure the back plate is securely fitted.

Appearance of runs or roughness

This is a natural characteristic of the hot-dipped galvanised process and is an intrinsic part of the product's rustic appearance. It does not affect the functionality or durability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and long-lasting finish due to hot-dipped galvanization.
  • Excellent suitability for coastal environments and harsh weather conditions.
  • Provides focused and effective downlighting for various exterior applications.
  • Stylish and rustic aesthetic that adds character to outdoor spaces.
  • Energy efficient when paired with an LED bulb.

Cons

  • Rustic finish variations are intrinsic and may not suit minimalist aesthetics.
  • Export restrictions may apply to certain regions (e.g., mainland Europe).
  • Requires a separate GU10 bulb, which is not included.
  • Smaller size may not be sufficient for very large areas on its own.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power supply to the intended installation area is switched off.
  2. Mount the back plate securely to the wall using appropriate fixings (not included).
  3. Connect the wiring according to local electrical regulations. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
  4. Install a GU10 bulb (maximum wattage as per product specifications, LED recommended).
  5. Attach the main body of the light fixture to the back plate.
  6. Restore power and test the light.

Compatibility:

  • Requires one GU10 base bulb. We recommend using an energy-efficient LED bulb.
  • Suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
  • IP44 rated for protection against water splashes and solid objects.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
  • Periodically check for any debris that may obstruct the light output or ventilation.
  • The galvanised finish is designed for longevity, but occasional inspection for any significant corrosion is advised, though highly unlikely given the material's properties.
