FAQs

Are these downlights suitable for bathrooms?

These units are standard indoor fixtures. Please check the specific IP rating provided on the packaging to determine if they meet the safety requirements for zone placement in your bathroom.

Can I install these myself?

It is strongly recommended that a qualified electrician performs the installation to ensure fire safety standards and electrical codes are met.

What does the 90-minute fire rating mean?

This means the fixture has been tested to withstand fire for 90 minutes, acting as a barrier to help contain fire within the room for that duration.

Can these be used with a dimmer switch?

Compatibility with dimmers depends on the light source used within the fixture. Ensure your selected bulbs are dimmable and that your switch is compatible with the total wattage.

What is the diameter of the hole required?

The fixture is designed for an 8cm aperture; always consult the included installation manual for the precise hole-saw measurement before cutting.

Troubleshooting

Light fails to illuminate

Verify that the circuit breaker is active and have an electrician check the wire connections at the terminal block.

The light appears loose in the ceiling

Inspect the tension springs/clips; they may need to be adjusted or reset to grip the plasterboard more effectively.

Intermittent flickering

Ensure all electrical connections are secure and verify that the lamp is properly seated within the socket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Adler 8cm Retrofit Downlight should always be performed by a qualified electrician to guarantee adherence to local building and electrical regulations. Before installation, confirm that your ceiling cutout is compatible with the 8cm specifications. Proper insulation clearance is critical when working with fire-rated downlights; ensure that the surrounding insulation does not compromise the heat dissipation of the fixture. For maintenance, keep the trim free of dust by wiping it with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can degrade the grey finish. Periodically check that the retaining clips remain firm against the ceiling plasterboard to keep the unit secure.
