FAQs

What type of bulb does this spotlight use?

This spotlight requires a 7W GU10 LED bulb. Please ensure the bulb is dimmable if you intend to use the dimming feature.

Is the bulb included with the spotlight?

No, the GU10 LED bulb is not included and must be purchased separately.

Can this spotlight be used in heavy rain?

The spotlight has an IP44 rating, which means it is protected against splashing water. It is not designed for direct immersion in water or prolonged exposure to heavy downpours. It's best suited for sheltered areas or where it will only experience incidental splashing.

How much can the spotlight be adjusted?

The spotlight offers 350 degrees of rotation and 90 degrees of tilt, providing a wide range of adjustability for directing light.

Is installation difficult?

The spotlight comes with fixing accessories for mounting. However, electrical wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

What material is the spotlight made of?

The spotlight is constructed from durable stainless steel (304 grade) and clear glass.

Can I use any type of GU10 bulb?

You should use a 7W GU10 LED bulb. If you wish to use the dimming function, ensure the bulb is explicitly stated as 'dimmable'.

Troubleshooting

Spotlight does not turn on.

Ensure the power supply is switched on at the breaker. Verify the GU10 bulb is correctly installed and functioning. Check all electrical connections, ensuring they are secure and correctly wired by a qualified electrician.

Light flickers or is dim.

This may indicate an incompatible bulb or a faulty dimmer switch. Ensure you are using a dimmable GU10 LED bulb and a compatible dimmer. Test with a different bulb if possible.

Water ingress observed.

Although IP44 rated for splashes, persistent water ingress may indicate a seal issue or improper installation. Ensure all seals are intact and the fixture is mounted correctly. Contact a qualified electrician for inspection.

Finish appears discolored or corroded.

While made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme environmental conditions can affect finishes. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
