Tips

• Lamp Holder Required: Please note that this fitting is supplied without a lamp holder. You will need to purchase a separate GU10 lamp holder to complete the installation.
• Bulb Selection: Pair this fitting with a high-quality GU10 LED bulb. For general lighting, a bulb with a wide beam angle (e.g., 100°) is recommended. Choose the color temperature (e.g., 3000K warm white or 4000K cool white) that best suits the room's function.
• 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.
• Planning Your Layout: For even, shadow-free illumination, plan the spacing of your downlights carefully. A distance of 1m to 1.5m between fittings is a common guideline for general lighting, but this can vary based on ceiling height and the chosen bulb's beam angle.
• Achieving Dimmability: To make this setup dimmable, you must use a dimmable GU10 LED bulb and a compatible LED dimmer switch.
