FAQs
Does this pack include GU10 bulbs?
No, the GU10 bulbs are not included with this pack of 20 downlights and must be purchased separately.
Do I need a transformer for these downlights?
No, these downlights are designed to be wired directly to your mains power supply (220-240V) and do not require a separate transformer.
What is the fire rating of these downlights?
This specific pack features a 60-minute fire rating.
What colours are available in this range?
This particular product is in a Gold finish. Other finishes such as White, Copper, Brushed Chrome, Black Chrome, and Chrome are available as separate product variants.
Can I use LED bulbs with these fittings?
Yes, these fittings are suitable for use with regular halogen or LED GU10 bulbs.
How many fittings are in this pack?
This pack contains 20 downlight fittings.
Are these dimmable?
The fittings themselves are dimmable, but this depends on the dimmable compatibility of the GU10 bulb you choose to install and the dimmer switch used in your lighting circuit.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Check that the power supply is switched on at the breaker. Verify all wire connections at the terminal block are secure and correctly matched (Live to Live, Neutral to Neutral, Earth to Earth). Ensure the GU10 bulb is correctly seated in the lampholder.
Flickering light.
Ensure the GU10 bulb is compatible and securely fitted. Loose wiring connections can also cause flickering; re-check all connections. If using LED bulbs, ensure they are dimmable if connected to a dimmer switch.
Fitting feels loose in the ceiling.
Ensure the metal spring clips are properly engaged with the ceiling material. If the ceiling material is particularly thin or damaged, additional support may be needed, or the fitting might not be suitable for that location.
