FAQs

What does High CRI mean?

High CRI (Colour Rendering Index) means the light source is very good at accurately displaying colours compared to natural light. A CRI of 95-97 indicates excellent colour fidelity, making colours appear natural and vibrant.

Can I install this in a bathroom?

Yes, the IP65 rating means it is protected against dust and water jets, making it suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2 (wet rooms, shower areas).

How do I change the light colour temperature?

Use the small switch located on the front of the downlight. It allows you to select between Warm White (3000K), Daylight (4000K), and Cool White (6000K). It's best to do this when the power is off.

What size hole do I need to cut for installation?

The required cut-out diameter for this downlight is 70mm.

Is this downlight dimmable?

Yes, the downlight is dimmable, but it requires a compatible LED dimmer switch. Ensure your dimmer is rated for LED loads.

What is the fire rating for?

The fire rating (30, 60, and 90 minutes) ensures the downlight meets building regulations for fire safety by helping to maintain the integrity of fire barriers in ceilings.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the mains power is on, the circuit breaker is not tripped, and the wiring connections are secure. Ensure the CCT switch has been set to a valid position.

Light flickers or buzzes

This is often due to an incompatible dimmer switch. Try a different LED-compatible dimmer or remove the dimmer to test if the issue persists. Ensure all connections are tight.

Cannot change Colour Temperature (CCT)

Ensure the light is switched off at the mains before attempting to use the CCT switch. If the switch is stiff, try gently rocking it. If the issue persists, contact support.

Poor light output

Verify the power supply is providing the correct voltage. Check that the downlight is not obstructed and that the wattage (10W) is appropriate for the area.

  4. Clip the springs on the downlight to secure it within the ceiling cut-out.

  6. Restore power and test the light.

Compatibility:

  • Dimmer Switches: This downlight is dimmable, but requires a compatible LED dimmer switch. Consult with an electrician or the manufacturer for a list of recommended dimmer types to avoid flickering or poor performance.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Always disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe the fixture with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure the fixture is completely dry before restoring power. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
