FAQs
What is CCT and how do I change it?
CCT stands for Colour Changing Temperature. This downlight allows you to switch between three color temperatures: 3000K (warm white), 4000K (daylight white), and 6000K (cool white) using a small, front-facing switch on the bezel. Simply push the switch to cycle through the options.
Is this downlight safe for use in bathrooms?
Yes, this downlight has an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and water jets, making it suitable for installation in bathroom Zone 1 areas and other damp environments.
What does 'fire rated' mean for this downlight?
The downlight is fire rated to 30, 60, and 90 minutes. This means it has been tested to maintain its integrity for these durations in the event of a fire, helping to prevent the spread of flames and smoke through the ceiling opening.
What size hole do I need to cut for installation?
You will need to cut a hole in the ceiling with a diameter of 70mm.
Can I dim this LED downlight?
This downlight is designed to work with compatible LED dimmers. Ensure your dimmer switch is rated for LED loads and check its specifications for compatibility. Note that dimming performance can vary based on the dimmer used.
What is the lumen output at different color temperatures?
At 3000K (warm white), the lumen output is 550lm. At 4000K (daylight white), it is 650lm. At 6000K (cool white), it is 700lm.
How long is the lifespan of this LED downlight?
The product is built with quality components for a long life, though a specific hour rating is not provided in the product description. LED technology generally offers a significantly longer lifespan than traditional lighting sources.
Troubleshooting
Downlight does not turn on.
Check that the power supply is switched on at the mains. Verify all electrical connections between the mains, the driver, and the downlight are secure. Ensure the driver is correctly connected to the downlight via the quick terminal connector.
Light flickers or buzzes.
Ensure the driver is properly seated and connections are firm. If used with a dimmer, confirm the dimmer is compatible with LED loads and is set correctly. Loose connections or an incompatible dimmer can cause these issues.
Color temperature won't change.
Gently operate the CCT switch. If it feels stuck, do not force it. Ensure the downlight is powered off before attempting to adjust the switch. If the issue persists, contact support.
Reduced brightness or light output.
Check for any obstructions blocking the light. Ensure the CCT is not set to the lowest lumen output setting (3000K). Verify the power supply is adequate and connections are sound.
