Die-Cast Fire Rated Downlight, Twist and Lock, GU10, Fixed - White Finish

This LED downlight is designed with features that simplify the installation process. It comes with a twist and lock mechanism and a screwless terminal block with push-fit connectors, lessening the struggles with wiring and adding a bulb!

In addition, this LED downlight is mains powered; therefore, you do not have to purchase a separate LED driver or transformer to make it work. All you need to do is wire your fixture directly to the mains circuit, add a GU10 bulb of your choice, and that’s it! Just always be careful and prioritise your safety at all costs. If you are not confident doing the installation alone, call for an electrician.

You can pair this LED downlight with any GU10 bulb because it’s constructed with a GU10 lamp holder. Although, since it’s a dimmable fixture, pairing it with a dimmable GU10 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch will allow you to use its dimming function!

As for the GU10 bulb, it’s available in three colour temperatures: 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 that cool white has a crisp bluish tone, whereas natural white has no hints of blue or yellow. On the other hand, warm white light is ideal for ambient lighting because its yellowish shade can create a relaxing atmosphere!

One of the best features of this LED downlight is it's 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 completely resealed (thanks to its built-in intumescent pad that blocks every tiny gap), and your ceiling is fortified to extend the time when the fire will spread!

With this, you and your family will have enough time to exit (in this case, about 90 minutes), and the damage to your home's structure will not be as bad as when you don't have a fire-rated lighting fixture. So, be prepared for anything and get this LED downlight to ensure your home is fully fire-protected!

With its pristine white finish, this LED downlight can match any aesthetic, whether traditional, modern, or something in between! Whatever furniture pieces or decorative elements you have, this LED downlight can blend in flawlessly as if you’ve intentionally added them when planning out your interior design! If you are a homeowner who likes changing the styling of your home regularly, having a neutral base will give you more flexibility instead of fully customising the room to a particular theme.

Furthermore, this LED downlight has an open-can design, which gives it an excellent cooling system. This ensures that the bulb you will use with the fitting will last for a very long time!

While there are downlights that are insulation-coverable, it's not safe to assume that every model is the same. You have to double-check the product description or packaging and find a statement that says it's okay to cover with insulation! 

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

This LED downlight has an IP20 rating, so you can only use it indoors, away from water sources. It does not have adequate protection against liquids, so you need to be extra mindful of its placement. Nevertheless, there are many areas where you can mount this fitting! Besides the bathroom and water zones in the kitchen, you can put it in your living room, dining room, bedroom, home office, hallways, storage room, etc.

Also, this is a fixed downlight, meaning you cannot change the direction of the light beam once it’s installed. Ensure that you’re 100% sure of the placement of your fixtures before cutting a hole because it will be a lot of work patching that opening!
