In-Depth Technical Specifications

Ideal Use

• Living Rooms: Perfect for highlighting a fireplace, feature wall, or artwork, and for creating layered lighting schemes.
• Kitchens: Ideal for providing adjustable task lighting over countertops, islands, and sinks.
• Bedrooms: Can be used as focused reading lights when positioned above the bed or to illuminate wardrobes.
• Hallways and Corridors: Use the tilt feature to wash walls with light, making narrow spaces feel wider and more inviting.
• Retail and Galleries: Provides flexible, high-impact accent lighting for product displays and art exhibitions.
• Sloped Ceilings: Allows the light beam to be directed straight down, compensating for the angle of the ceiling.

Tips

• Bulb Selection is Crucial: The final lighting effect depends entirely on the GU10 bulb you choose. Use a narrow beam angle (e.g., 38°) for a dramatic spotlight effect or a wider beam angle (e.g., 100°) for more general, diffused light.
• Achieving Dimmability: To make this fitting dimmable, you must install a dimmable GU10 LED bulb and connect the circuit to a compatible LED dimmer switch.
• Accurate Installation: Ensure the 83mm cut-out is precise for a snug and secure fit. The spring clips will hold the fitting firmly in place.
• Professional Installation: As this is a mains voltage, Class 1 fitting, it must be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure proper earthing and safety.
• Planning Your Layout: Consider what you want to illuminate. For wall washing, place the downlights about 50-60cm from the wall. For accenting a picture, position the light so the beam hits the center of the artwork at approximately a 30-degree angle.
