Benefits

• Ultimate Safety in Wet Areas: The IP65 rating provides complete peace of mind, allowing you to install bright, effective lighting in areas where it's needed most, such as directly over your shower or bath, without compromising on safety.
• Unprecedented Installation Flexibility: The dual compatibility for both GU10 and MR16 bulbs allows your electrician to choose the best wiring solution for the application, whether it's the simplicity of mains voltage (GU10) or the added safety of low voltage (MR16).
• Built to Last in Humid Environments: The die-cast aluminium and steel construction, combined with a protective finish, is resistant to the corrosion and degradation that can occur in high-humidity environments like bathrooms.
• Total Lighting Control: Because the bulb is not included, you have the freedom to choose the exact brightness, color temperature (from warm to cool white), and beam angle to create the perfect lighting effect for your bathroom.
• Clean and Unobtrusive Aesthetic: The minimalist, recessed design sits flush against the ceiling, contributing to a modern, uncluttered bathroom design and making the space feel larger.
• Easy Maintenance: The design allows for straightforward access to the bulb for replacement when necessary, without needing to remove the entire fitting from the ceiling.

In-Depth Technical Specifications

Ideal Use

• Shower and Bath Enclosures: The IP65 rating makes it perfectly safe for installation directly above showers, bathtubs, and wet room areas (Zone 1).
• General Bathroom Lighting: Use multiple fittings to create bright, uniform illumination throughout the entire bathroom.
• Kitchens: Ideal for use above sinks or food preparation areas where steam and moisture are present.
• Covered Patios and Soffits: Suitable for outdoor under-cover areas where the fitting may be exposed to high humidity or indirect water spray.
• Spa, Pool, and Gym Facilities: Provides safe and durable lighting for changing rooms, shower areas, and other damp environments.

Tips

• Professional Installation is Essential: Due to the strict regulations governing electrical work in bathrooms (especially in Zones 1 and 2), installation MUST be carried out by a qualified and certified electrician.
• Choosing Your Bulb: For bathroom use, an LED bulb is highly recommended for its long life and low heat output. A Cool White (4000K) bulb is a popular choice for bathrooms as it provides clean, clear light that is excellent for tasks like shaving or applying makeup.
• GU10 vs. MR16: Discuss with your electrician which option is best. GU10 is simpler as it connects directly to the mains. MR16 requires a 12V transformer but is considered an extra-safe low voltage option for wet areas.
• Dimming Requirements: If you wish to dim the light, you must use a dimmable GU10 or MR16 LED bulb, a compatible LED dimmer switch, and (for MR16) a dimmable 12V LED driver/transformer.
• Ensure a Watertight Seal: During installation, it is crucial that the fitting is installed correctly to maintain its IP65 rating. The seal between the fitting's rim and the ceiling surface should be flush and tight.
