Product Information

Full details

This Soho Lighting Antique Brass LED Downlight is designed for homeowners and commercial users seeking versatile and adaptable lighting. Its key benefit is the ability to change light color temperature from a cool white to a warm, cozy glow using a standard LED trailing edge dimmer, transforming room ambiance instantly. A caveat to note is that it doesn't dim brightness in the traditional sense but rather adjusts color temperature, with lower lumen output at its warmest setting.

FAQs

What is 'Dim to Warm' technology?

'Dim to Warm' technology allows the light color temperature to change as you dim it. As the light output decreases (is dimmed), the color temperature shifts from a bright white (e.g., 3000K) to a very warm, cozy glow (e.g., 1800K), mimicking the behavior of traditional incandescent bulbs.

Does this downlight dim brightness?

No, this downlight adjusts its color temperature (from warm white to sunset white) using a dimmer, but it does not dim the overall brightness in the traditional sense. The perceived brightness does decrease as the color temperature becomes warmer.

What type of dimmer switch do I need?

You need a standard LED trailing edge dimmer switch. This is crucial for the 'Dim to Warm' functionality to work correctly.

Can I use this in a bathroom or kitchen?

Yes, this downlight has an IP65 rating, which means it is protected against dust and water spray, making it suitable for use in bathrooms, kitchens, and other wet areas.

What is the guarantee period for this product?

This downlight comes with a 3-year guarantee for peace of mind.

Is this product fire rated?

Yes, this downlight is fire rated for 30, 60, and 90 minutes, providing enhanced safety and compliance for various installations.

What is the color temperature range?

The color temperature can be adjusted between 1800K (sunset white) and 3000K (warm white).

Troubleshooting

Downlight does not turn on.

Check that the power supply is connected correctly and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the dimmer switch is functioning and set to an appropriate level.

Color temperature does not change.

Verify that a compatible LED trailing edge dimmer switch is installed and functioning correctly. Ensure the dimmer is set to a level that allows for the color temperature shift. Check wiring connections to the dimmer.

Flickering light.

This may indicate an incompatible dimmer switch or an overload on the circuit. Ensure the dimmer is rated for LED loads and is specifically a trailing edge type. Consult a qualified electrician if the issue persists.

Reduced brightness at warm settings.

This is normal operation for 'Dim to Warm' technology. The lumen output is inherently lower when the color temperature is set to its warmest (1800K).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly adaptable lighting ambiance with color temperature control.
  • Suitable for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens due to IP65 rating.
  • Enhanced safety with 30/60/90 minute fire ratings.
  • Elegant antique brass finish complements traditional and modern decor.
  • Easy to operate with standard LED trailing edge dimmers.

Cons

  • Brightness decreases at the warmest color temperature setting (1800K).
  • Requires a specific LED trailing edge dimmer for color temperature adjustment.
  • Does not offer traditional brightness dimming functionality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting installation.

Compatibility:

This downlight requires a compatible LED trailing edge dimmer switch to utilize the 'Dim to Warm' functionality. Standard on/off switches or non-compatible dimmers will result in fixed color temperature operation. Ensure your dimmer switch is rated for LED loads and specifically supports color temperature adjustment if needed, though this fixture adjusts CCT via a standard dimmer.

Care:

  • Always ensure the power is switched off before cleaning.
  • Clean the exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Do not spray water directly onto the fitting.
  • Periodically check for any dust or debris that may accumulate, especially around ventilation if applicable.
