FAQs
Do these downlights come with bulbs?
No, the bulbs are sold separately. You will need to purchase compatible GU10 halogen or LED bulbs.
Can I use LED bulbs with these fittings?
Yes, these fittings are compatible with regular halogen and LED GU10 bulbs. Using LED bulbs is recommended for energy efficiency and longevity.
Do I need a transformer for these downlights?
No, these are mains voltage downlights and do not require a separate transformer. They can be wired directly to your home's mains power supply.
What is the required hole size for installation?
The recommended cutout diameter for these fittings is approximately 8.8cm, matching the width of the fitting.
How deep does the ceiling void need to be?
You will need a minimum ceiling void depth of 8.8cm to accommodate the fitting and its components.
Are these downlights dimmable?
The dimmability of the light depends on the type of GU10 bulb you install. If you use dimmable LED or halogen GU10 bulbs, and your existing dimmer switch is compatible, then the lights will be dimmable.
What is the warranty period for these downlights?
Please refer to the product guidelines supplied with the fittings or contact the retailer for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
Troubleshooting
Downlight does not turn on
Check that the power supply is switched on at the mains. Verify all wire connections at the terminal block are secure and correctly matched (Live, Neutral, Earth). Ensure the GU10 bulb is correctly seated in the lampholder.
Flickering light
This may be due to a loose bulb connection or an incompatible or failing bulb. Reseat the bulb or try a different GU10 bulb (preferably a known working LED or halogen).
Fitting feels loose in the ceiling
Ensure the metal spring clips are fully engaged against the ceiling material. If the ceiling material is damaged, additional support may be needed.
Burn marks or discoloration around the fitting
This can indicate overheating. Ensure the correct wattage bulb is used (check bulb packaging for maximum wattage compatibility, especially with halogen bulbs) and that there is adequate ventilation around the fitting if possible. Replace the bulb and monitor.
