Product Information

Full details

This Brushed Brass LED Downlight from Soho Lighting is designed for homeowners and commercial space managers seeking to enhance room ambiance with adaptable lighting. Its key benefit is the ability to change color temperature from a cool white to a warm, cozy glow using a standard dimmer switch, offering versatility for different moods and times of day. A crucial caveat is that it changes color temperature, not brightness, and lumen output is reduced at the warmest setting. Features include dim-to-warm functionality, IP65 water and dust protection, and fire ratings for safety.

FAQs

What is 'Dim to Warm' technology?

'Dim to Warm' technology means the light changes its color temperature as you dim it. As the light gets dimmer, it also becomes warmer (more yellow/red), mimicking the effect of a traditional incandescent bulb dimming down.

Do I need a special dimmer switch for this downlight?

Yes, you need a compatible LED trailing edge dimmer switch to control both the dimming (color temperature change) and on/off functions.

Can I use this downlight in my bathroom?

Yes, the IP65 rating makes it suitable for use in bathrooms and wet rooms as it is protected against water spray and dust.

What is the color temperature range?

The color temperature ranges from 3000K (warm white) at its brightest setting down to 1800K (sunset white) at its dimmest setting.

Is the lumen output the same at all color temperatures?

No, the lumen output is lower when the downlight is operating at the warmest color temperature (1800K).

What does 'Fire Rated' mean?

Fire ratings (30, 60, 90 minutes) indicate how long the downlight can withstand a fire before its integrity is compromised, helping to maintain fire barriers in ceilings.

What is the warranty period?

This downlight comes with a 3-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Downlight does not turn on.

Verify the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is active. Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct.

Color temperature does not change.

Confirm that a compatible LED trailing edge dimmer switch is installed and functioning correctly. Check dimmer settings and ensure it is specifically designed for dim-to-warm LED products.

Flickering light.

This may indicate an incompatible dimmer switch or an unstable power supply. Test with a different compatible dimmer if possible, or consult an electrician.

Reduced brightness at warm settings.

This is normal operation for dim-to-warm LEDs. The lumen output is intentionally lower at the warmest color temperature (1800K). If brightness is critical at this setting, consider a secondary light source.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides adaptable lighting ambiance by changing color temperature.
  • IP65 rating ensures suitability for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Fire ratings offer enhanced safety for various building types.
  • Stylish brushed brass finish enhances decor.
  • Long 3-year guarantee for user confidence.

Cons

  • Does not dim brightness; only changes color temperature.
  • Lumen output is lower when operating at the warmest color temperature (1800K).
  • Requires a compatible LED trailing edge dimmer to function correctly.
  • Specific dimmer compatibility is not detailed, requiring user verification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires basic electrical knowledge and should be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure power is disconnected before installation. The downlight is designed for standard ceiling cut-outs.

Compatibility: This downlight *requires* a compatible LED trailing edge dimmer switch to utilize its dim-to-warm functionality. Standard on/off switches or non-compatible dimmers will not allow for color temperature adjustment. Ensure your dimmer is rated for LED and specifically for trailing edge dimming. The lumen output is lower at 1800K, so consider this for areas requiring high brightness.

Care: Clean the downlight with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, especially on the brushed brass finish, to prevent damage. For IP65 rating, ensure a secure seal is maintained during installation.
