IP65, Shower Fixed, Fire Rated Downlight – Black Chrome Finish

This LED downlight has a simple round bezel and a sleek black chrome finish. It’s suitable for whatever interior design theme you have in mind, be it traditional, rustic, modern, etc. Even if you have existing decor and furniture pieces, you don’t have to worry about this LED downlight not matching because it can blend in flawlessly!

If you plan to change styles often, a minimal ceiling light like this downlight is more beneficial than a fully customised one. This way, you’ll have a neutral base that you can easily transform into the theme you currently prefer. If you commit to a particular style from the get-go, it’ll take more effort, time and money to change it into something different.

Installation is a breeze with this LED downlight because it’s designed with features that simplify the procedure. It’s mains powered, so you don’t need to purchase a separate transformer or driver to make it run. All you have to do is arrange the positioning of the fixtures, trim the cut-out holes, wire them directly to the mains circuit, and add a bulb of your choice. Once everything is in place, you can enjoy your stunningly brilliant room!

If you’re going to DIY the installation, ensure that you know the process and have all the right tools and necessary experience. Otherwise, you’ll have to call an electrician to avoid accidents and risks.

You can use this LED downlight with any GU10 bulb because it’s made with a GU10 lamp holder. Although, note that it’s a dimmable fixture. If you want to access its dimming function, you’ll have to pair this downlight with a dimmable GU10 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch!

As for the GU10 bulb, it’s available in cool white, natural white and warm white light. Cool white and natural white are both perfect for task lighting. The only difference between the two colours is that cool white has a crisp bluish tone, while natural white has no shades of blue or yellow. On the other hand, warm white light is suitable for ambient lighting because its yellowish tint can create a relaxing environment!

If you want a lighting fixture that you can use throughout your home, including the areas where water and liquids are common, this LED downlight is perfect! It’s IP65 rated; therefore, you can use it anywhere, such as the living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, storage room, hallways, and the bathroom’s zone 1. Even if jets and splashes of water come into contact with this fixture, it will not short-circuit or malfunction.

The IP rating is an important factor to consider when purchasing lights. It indicates the protection of the fixture against solid and liquid elements. While this LED downlight has sufficient guard against water splashes, it’s unsuitable for underwater applications. You’ll need to find a fitting with an even higher IP rating.

Unlike table lamps and floor lamps that are plug-and-play, ceiling lights take more time to install. It takes even more effort if the fixture is a recessed one like this LED downlight. So, the last thing that you want is to install fixtures that ends up breaking every other month, forcing you to redo the entire process.

This LED downlight is constructed from die-cast aluminium, so you can expect that it will last for years without rusting or tarnishing. For upkeep, just occasionally wipe it down with a clean damp cloth to remove dust and dirt build-up that may probably block the light from being delivered to the surfaces below.

Knowing the installation procedure is as important as learning the dimensions of the fixture, especially for a recessed one. Trimming the cut-out hole requires precision, and if you improvise, there’s a high chance that something will go wrong. The hole may be too small for the downlight to fit or too big that the fixture will fall off. There’s also a possibility for the downlight to protrude instead of sitting recessed because the fixture’s height and the available ceiling void were not accounted for. 

So, take note that this LED downlight is 110mm tall with an 86mm diameter and requires a 65mm cut-out hole. Remember these measurements, and you’ll have no problems!
