In-Depth Technical Specifications

Ideal Use

• General Ambient Lighting: Install in a grid pattern across ceilings in living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan areas to provide uniform, overall illumination.
• Kitchen and Bathroom Lighting: The polycarbonate body is resistant to humidity, making it a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms (outside of direct water spray zones).
• Hallways and Corridors: Provides clean, effective lighting for circulation spaces in both residential and commercial buildings.
• Retail and Commercial Spaces: Ideal for creating bright, welcoming environments in shops, offices, reception areas, and showrooms.
• Task Lighting: When installed in series over work surfaces, kitchen islands, or desks, it provides excellent focused light.

Tips

• Bulb Selection is Key: The performance of this fitting is entirely dependent on the GU10 bulb you install. For general lighting, a bulb with a wide beam angle (60° or more) is recommended. For accenting, choose a narrower beam (36° or less).
• Plan Your Spacing: For even general illumination, a common rule of thumb is to space downlights approximately 1 to 1.5 meters apart. Measure your ceiling height and room dimensions to calculate the optimal layout.
• Dimmability: While the fitting itself is not dimmable, you can achieve dimming functionality by using a dimmable GU10 LED bulb and a compatible leading-edge or trailing-edge LED dimmer switch.
• Professional Installation: Recessed lighting requires cutting into the ceiling and working with mains wiring. It is strongly recommended that a qualified electrician performs the installation.
• Ceiling Void: Ensure you have sufficient clearance (more than the 35mm depth of the fitting) in your ceiling void to accommodate the downlight and its wiring.
