FAQs
What type of bulb does the Eamon light use?
The Knightsbridge Eamon light uses a GU10 LED lamp. The lamp is not included and has a maximum wattage of 5W.
Is this light suitable for use in a very exposed, windy location?
While it is IP54 rated for dust and splashing water, extremely high wind speeds or direct, forceful water jets are not accounted for in this rating. Ensure it is mounted securely and consider the environmental exposure.
Can I use a halogen GU10 bulb?
This fitting is designed for LED lamps. Using a halogen bulb may exceed the maximum wattage and heat limits, potentially damaging the fitting and voiding the warranty.
How do I make the light dimmable?
To achieve dimmable lighting, you must purchase a GU10 LED lamp specifically rated as 'dimmable' and ensure it is used with a compatible dimmer switch installed in your electrical circuit.
What does the 3-year warranty cover?
The 3-year warranty typically covers manufacturing defects. It does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, accidental damage, or normal wear and tear. Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty documentation for full details.
What are the dimensions of the light?
The dimensions are: Height: 12.5cm, Projection: 8.8cm, Diameter: 6cm.
Does it come with fixings to mount it to the wall?

Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Check that the power supply is on. Ensure the GU10 lamp is correctly installed and seated. Verify wiring connections. Test with a known working GU10 lamp.
Light flickers or is dim
The installed GU10 lamp may be faulty or not fully compatible. Try a different 5W LED GU10 lamp. If dimming is intended, ensure the lamp is marked as 'dimmable' and is compatible with your dimmer switch.
Corrosion or degradation
While designed for corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extremely aggressive environments could still cause issues. Clean the unit with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
