In-Depth Technical Specifications

Tips

• Bulb Selection is Key: The final lighting effect is dictated by your choice of GU10 bulb. A narrow beam angle (e.g., 38°) will create a defined spotlight, while a wider beam angle (e.g., 100°) will provide a broader wash of light.
• Achieving Dimmability: To dim this fixture, you must install a dimmable GU10 LED bulb and ensure the circuit is controlled by a compatible LED dimmer switch.
• Professional Installation: As this is a mains voltage, Class 1 fixture, it must be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure it is properly earthed and securely mounted to the ceiling.
• Planning Your Layout: Consider the beam angle of your chosen bulb when planning the spacing between fittings. The square shape allows for precise alignment in linear or grid patterns for a very clean, organized look.
• Cleaning: To maintain the sand-textured finish, dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemical cleaners.
