Tips

• Requires 12V System Components: This is a low-voltage (12V) fitting and requires a separate 12V transformer/driver and a GU5.3 (MR16) lamp holder for each light. Ensure you purchase all necessary components.
• Choose the Right Bulb: For the best performance and energy efficiency, pair this fitting with a high-quality 12V MR16 LED bulb. Select the beam angle and color temperature that best suits your application.
• Professional Installation Recommended: Due to the low-voltage wiring and transformer requirements, installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety, correct functionality, and compliance with regulations.
• Plan Your Spacing: For even general illumination, a common rule of thumb is to space downlights between 1 and 1.5 meters apart, depending on the ceiling height and the beam angle of the bulb used.
• Dimming Setup: If you require dimming, you must use a dimmable 12V LED bulb, a dimmable 12V LED driver (transformer), and a compatible LED wall dimmer switch.
