Technical Specifications

FAQs

1. Does this downlight come with a bulb?
No, the bulb is not included. This fitting requires a GU10 bulb with a maximum wattage of 50W. LED GU10 bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and longer operational life.

2. Is the chrome finish suitable for high-humidity environments like bathrooms?
This fitting has an IP20 rating, which is not suitable for bathroom zones where moisture or water spray is present. For bathroom installations, please consult current UK wiring regulations (BS 7671) regarding appropriate IP ratings for specific zones.

3. What is the advantage of diecast aluminium construction?
Diecast aluminium provides excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and thermal management. It efficiently dissipates heat away from the GU10 lamp, which is particularly important for halogen bulbs and helps extend the life of LED bulbs by maintaining lower operating temperatures.

4. Can this downlight be used with LED GU10 bulbs?
Yes, this fitting is compatible with LED GU10 bulbs as well as halogen and compact fluorescent GU10 lamps, provided they do not exceed the 50W maximum rating. LED bulbs are recommended for energy savings and reduced heat output.

5. How does this fixed downlight differ from a tilt version?
This is a fixed downlight, meaning the lamp holder does not tilt or swivel. It provides consistent, straight-down lighting. Tilt versions allow directional adjustment for accent lighting or angled illumination. Choose fixed orientation for general lighting where directional adjustment is not required.
