Open Can, Fire Rated GU10 Downlight With a Tilt White Bezel

Multi-function rooms like the kitchen and dining room require versatile lighting solutions that can keep up with their requirements. Fortunately, you don’t need to look any further because this LED downlight is all you need! 

This LED downlight is IP20-rated and has an adjustable gimbal that you can tilt up or down to a certain degree. With this, you’ll be able to change the direction of the light beams and have more flexibility with your lighting system. You can install a few of these downlights over your kitchen island and pair them with a narrow beam angle to serve as dedicated task lighting for that area. Also, you can install it in other parts of your home to highlight artwork, decorative elements and unique architectural structures!

With its lovely white finish and the simple round bezel, this LED downlight can set the stage for various design schemes such as minimalist, contemporary, traditional, industrial, and more! Even if it's not part of your initial outline, this downlight will still look fantastic with the rest of your interior and will not look out of place. Instead of fully customising the room to suit a particular theme, it's best to leave a few neutral elements like this downlight to make switching from one style to another easier!

Also, this high-quality LED downlight has an open-can design, which makes it more practical. Its enhanced cooling system guarantees that the bulb you use with it will last throughout its extended average lifespan!

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. 

It means that the hole you cut to install your lights is completely resealed, and your ceiling is reinforced to extend the time when the fire will spread. With this, you and your family will have more time to escape, and the damage to your home’s structure will not be as bad! Only fire-rated downlights are able to restore the compromised fire integrity of the ceiling once a recessed fixture is installed. It’s because fire-rated fittings are made with a built-in intumescent pad that activates to a specific temperature, enabling it to block every tiny crevice that the fire may slip through.

You can use this LED downlight with any GU10 bulb because it's made 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 enable you to use 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 ideal for task lighting. The only difference between the two is that cool white has a crisp bluish tone, whereas natural white light has no hints of yellow or blue. Alternatively, warm white light is suitable for ambient lighting since its yellowish shade can create a relaxing vibe!

Installing this LED downlight should not make you worry because it's designed with elements that make the mounting process simple and quick! It has a twist and lock feature that allows swift bulb changes and a large loop-in/out push-fit terminal block that will enable you to install each downlight in series instead of individually wiring them back to the power supply!

In addition, this LED downlight is mains-powered; therefore, you don’t have to purchase a separate driver or transformer to make it work. All you need to do is plot the positioning of the fixtures, trim the cut-out hole, wire directly to the mains circuit, and add a bulb of your choice. Easy peasy!

This LED downlight is insulation-coverable, so you can place loft insulation loosely over its rear. However, you can only do so if you use it with a GU10 LED lamp that has a maximum power of 7w. Other downlight models will not allow you to do this, but it is an essential step since insulation enables your home to release heat. This will aid in decreasing the warmth trapped in your space and lessening your electrical consumption!

When it comes to lighting, never set anything over your fixtures until you find a statement that says you can do so or you have verification from the supplier or manufacturer that you are permitted to do so.
