Open Can, GU10 Fire Rated Downlight, Fixed Brushed Chrome/Satin Nickel

This LED downlight is fire-rated to 30, 60 and 90 minutes of protection for solid joist ceilings and suitable for web and I-joist ceilings for 30 minutes of protection. What does this mean?

Cutting a hole into your ceiling to mount downlights compromises its natural fire barrier. Even if you cover the gap with the downlight, it’s not enough to plug the smallest cracks. Only a fire-rated downlight like this one can restore your ceiling’s fire integrity because it’s made with an intumescent pad that expands when exposed to a certain temperature. When activated, the pad blocks the smallest cracks around the downlight, preventing the fire from slipping through!

You'll find insulation-coverable downlights, but it's not the same for every brand or model. So, to guarantee that your lights are absolutely insulation-coverable, study the product description or packaging.

This LED downlight is insulation-coverable, so it's safe to put loft insulation loosely over its rear. However, you are only allowed to do this if you pair it with a GU10 LED lamp with a maximum power of 7w. Many cheaper downlights cannot offer you this, but this is a necessary feature for your lights to have since the insulation will let your home expel heat fast. This will help reduce the warmth in your room and lessen your electric bill!

Installing this LED downlight is effortless and quick! It has a twist and lock mechanism, and since it is mains powered, you do not have to purchase a separate driver or transformer to make it work. All you have to do is wire the downlight directly to the mains circuit, add the GU10 bulb you prefer, and you are good to go! After cleaning up, you can then enjoy your stunningly bright space!

If you have never installed a lighting fixture before or are not confident doing the mounting process yourself, it’s best to call for an electrician. Although you will pay extra, at least you are safe, and you are confident that your downlights are correctly mounted! 

This LED downlight is designed with a captivating brushed chrome bezel that can elevate the visual appeal of your space! It fits well with any interior design trends, including modern, classic, modern mid-century, rustic, or something in between. With this LED downlight, you do not have to worry when mixing and matching your furniture and decor because it ties in nicely with everything! If you want to continue to enjoy your creative freedom when styling your home, have a neutral base using this LED downlight!  

In addition, this LED downlight also has an open-can design, which makes it more practical. With its enhanced cooling system, this fitting will ensure that the bulb you pair with it can last throughout its lengthy lifespan!

Because this LED downlight is made with a GU10 lamp holder, you can use any GU10 bulb with it. However, since it's a dimmable fixture, pairing it with a dimmable GU10 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch will allow you to utilise its dimming function!

As for the GU10 bulb, you can get it in cool white, natural white and warm white light. Cool white and natural white are both suitable for task lighting. The only difference between the two is cool white has a crisp bluish tone, while natural white has no hints of blue or yellow. Alternatively, warm white light is perfect for ambient lighting because its yellowish shade can create a relaxing atmosphere!

This LED downlight has an IP20 rating, which is perfect for indoor applications. However, it’s not water-resistant, so you cannot install it in your bathroom or near water sources. Still, you can integrate this downlight in many rooms in your home to enhance its functionality and visual appeal! Besides the bathroom and the kitchen's water zones, it is safe to mount it in your dining room, living room, hallways, pantry, home office, laundry room, bedroom, storage room, etc.

Also, this is a fixed downlight, meaning you cannot redirect the light beam’s trajectory once it’s up in your ceiling. To guarantee a spotless installation, plot the placement of the fixtures before trimming anything. It’s easier to erase pencil marks than patch holes!
