FAQs
What type of lamp does this downlight use?

Is this downlight dimmable?
Yes, the downlight is dimmable, provided you use dimmable GU10 lamps and a compatible dimmer switch.
What is the fire rating of this downlight?
The downlight has been tested to BS476 Part 21 & 23 and is compliant with Building Regulations Part B (Fire Safety), tested for 30, 60, and 90 minutes.
Can I install insulation directly over this downlight?
Yes, this downlight is insulation compatible, meaning insulation can be placed over it.
What is the minimum ceiling void required for installation?
A minimum ceiling void of 120mm is required for proper installation.
What is the maximum ceiling thickness this downlight can be fitted into?
The downlight is designed for ceilings with a maximum thickness of 30mm.
How do I replace the lamp?
Lamp replacement is easy: ensure power is off, then twist and push the front ring to release the old lamp. Insert the new lamp and twist the ring to lock it in place.
What does IP20 mean?
IP20 indicates the product is protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm (like fingers) but offers no protection against water. It is suitable for dry indoor environments only.
Troubleshooting
Downlight not turning on
Check that the power supply is on. Ensure the GU10 lamp is correctly seated in the holder and is functional. Verify electrical connections within the enclosure.
Lamp replacement is difficult
Ensure the power is off. Align the twist-and-lock ring correctly and apply firm but steady pressure to release or secure it.
Flickering light
This usually indicates an issue with the GU10 lamp itself or the dimmer switch. Try a different compatible GU10 lamp or check the dimmer compatibility.
Poor fit in ceiling
Confirm the ceiling thickness does not exceed 30mm. Ensure the cutout size is appropriate for the downlight's outer diameter (102mm).
