FAQs
Are the bulbs included with the downlight?
No, the bulbs are not included. This fixture requires two GU10 bulbs, each with a maximum wattage of 7 watts.
What is the IP65 rating?
An IP65 rating means the fixture is protected against dust ingress and is protected against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens.
Can I use this in a bathroom?
Yes, the IP65 rating makes these downlights safe for use in bathrooms, including zones where they might be exposed to splashes or steam.
What is the minimum ceiling void required?
You will need a minimum recessed depth of approximately 12.5 cm for installation.
What material is the downlight made of?
The downlight is constructed from metal for durability.
How many downlights are in this pack?
The product title indicates 'Recessed Downlights', typically sold individually unless specified otherwise by the retailer. Please check the product listing for pack quantity.
Can I paint this downlight?
While not specifically recommended, painting the visible metal parts with suitable metal paint might be possible. Ensure you do not obstruct ventilation or electrical components, and always follow paint manufacturer instructions. Painting may affect the warranty.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Check that the power supply is on, verify wiring connections are secure, and ensure the GU10 bulbs are correctly seated and functional. Test bulbs in another fixture if possible.
Flickering light
This is often caused by a loose bulb or a failing bulb. Reseat the GU10 bulb firmly or replace it with a new one. Ensure the voltage is within the 240V limit.
Dim light output
Verify the wattage of the installed GU10 bulbs does not exceed the maximum 7W per bulb. Consider upgrading to higher lumen bulbs if more brightness is desired.
Water ingress observed
Although IP65 rated, prolonged direct water exposure might compromise seals. Inspect the fixture for damage and ensure any seals are intact. For continuous protection, ensure proper installation and avoid direct, high-pressure water streams.
