FAQs

What does IP65 rating mean?

An IP65 rating signifies that the downlight is protected against dust ingress and jets of water from any direction. This makes it suitable for installation in bathroom zones 1 and 2, as well as kitchens.

What is the benefit of High CRI?

High CRI (Colour Rendering Index) of 95-97 means the light source displays colours of objects very accurately compared to natural light. This results in true-to-life colours, improved clarity, and better contrast, enhancing visual perception.

Can I use this downlight in a bathroom?

Yes, the IP65 rating makes it suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2 (areas near the bath or shower).

How do I change the colour temperature?

There is a front-facing CCT switch on the downlight itself. You can easily slide this switch to select between Warm White (3000K), Daylight (4000K), and Cool White (6000K).

Is this downlight dimmable?

Yes, the downlight is dimmable, allowing you to adjust the light intensity. Ensure you use a compatible LED dimmer switch.

What does 'Fire Rated' mean for this downlight?

The fire rating (30, 60, and 90 minutes) indicates that the downlight is designed to maintain its integrity and help prevent the spread of fire through ceilings for the specified durations, meeting relevant building regulations.

What is the required ceiling cut-out size?

The recommended ceiling cut-out size for this downlight is 70mm in diameter.

Troubleshooting

Downlight not turning on

Verify that the power supply is on and that the wiring connections are secure. Check the fuse or circuit breaker for the relevant lighting circuit.

Flickering light

Ensure the dimmer switch (if used) is compatible with LED lights and is functioning correctly. Loose wiring connections can also cause flickering.

Light colour temperature won't change

Ensure the front-facing CCT switch is accessible and firmly set to the desired position. If the issue persists, there may be an internal fault.

Reduced brightness

Check if the light is connected to a dimmer and if it's set to a low level. Ensure the downlight and surrounding area are clean and not obstructed.
