Chrome Fire Rated GU10 Downlight, Open Can Design

This LED downlight is fire-rated to 30, 60 and 90 minutes of protection for solid joist ceilings and is suitable for web and I-joist ceilings for 30 minutes of protection. This means the hole you cut to install your lights is resealed, and your ceiling is reinforced to extend the time when the fire will spread. This precautionary measure will enable you and your family to exit safely, and the damage to your home’s structure will not be as bad.

Only a fire-rated downlight can restore your ceiling’s fire integrity. It is made with an intumescent pad that activates when exposed to a specific temperature. This pad then blocks even the tiny crevices the fire may slip through!

With its simple round bezel and gorgeous polished chrome finish, this LED downlight does not have difficulty fitting in with whatever aesthetic you have! Whether it's a traditional or modern layout, this LED downlight can blend in effortlessly as if it was intentionally added to the design! 

If you love restyling your interior when the seasons change, using a minimal-looking lighting fixture light,  like this LED downlight, will benefit you more. With its basic appearance, you'll be able to try out various design scheme combinations and decorations that may not go well with a customised lighting fixture. Additionally, this LED downlight has an open-can design, giving it an excellent cooling system. This ensures that the bulb you will use with the fitting will last a very long time!

This LED downlight has an IP20 rating, so it can only be mounted indoors, away from water sources. It does not have sufficient protection against liquids, so you must be extra cautious of its placement. Nonetheless, there are many rooms where you can install this downlight! Except for the bathroom and water zones in the kitchen, you can put them in your living room, dining room, pantry, bedroom, home office, laundry room, hallways, storage room, etc.

Also, note that this is a fixed downlight, meaning you cannot alter the direction of the light beam once it’s on your ceiling. Ensure that you’re 100% sure of the placement of your fitting before cutting a hole!

The installation of this LED downlight is straightforward and quick as it's designed with everything that streamlines the process! It has a twist and lock mechanism (allowing rapid bulb changes) and push-fit terminal blocks for easy loop-in/out (no need for screws). With this, you can wire each downlight in series instead of individually connecting them to the primary power supply!

Aside from that, it’s mains-powered; therefore, you don’t need to purchase a separate driver or transformer to make it work. All you have to do is plan the position of the fixtures, trim the cut-out hole, wire it directly to the mains circuit, and add a bulb of your choice. That’s it! 

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

As for the GU10 bulb, it's available in cool white, natural white and warm white light! Cool white and natural white are both ideal for task lighting. The only difference between the two colours is cool white has a crisp bluish tone, while natural white has no shades of blue or yellow. Alternatively, warm white light is suitable for ambient lighting because its yellowish tint can stage a cosy and relaxing vibe!

While some downlights are insulation-coverable, you cannot presume that every model is identical. You must read the product description or packaging and find a remark saying you can cover them with insulation! 

This LED downlight is insulation-coverable, so you can loosely place loft insulation over its rear. However, you can only do this if you use it with a GU10 LED lamp that has a maximum power of 7w. Many cheaper downlights are not insulation-coverable, but this is a crucial feature for your lights to have because insulation allows the heat to exit your home quickly. This will help reduce the heat in your home and lower your electric bill!
