Fire-rated, IP65 recessed downlights deliver 600 lm from a 6W LED with three colour temperatures. Dimmable from 10–100% and supplied with a junction box plus two interchangeable bezels.
Flexible ambience – With selectable 3CCT colour temperature
A small slide switch on the rear selects between 3000K (warm), 4000K (neutral) and 6500K (cool) colour temperatures. The LEDs use a 60° beam to provide even, task-friendly illumination.
Choose warmer light for living areas or cooler light for task zones without returning fittings. The selectable colour keeps installation simple for different room uses.
Enhanced safety for joisted ceilings – Thanks to reinforced fire-rated casing
Reinforced fire-resistant metal combined with retardant plastic casing meets Part B Fire Safety Regulation and UK Building Regulation BS476 part 21 & 22. The downlights provide 30, 60 and 90-minute fire ratings for solid timber joists, I-joists and metal web joists.
Suitable where building regulations demand fire-rated fittings, offering clear compliance and reduced risk in joisted ceilings. Peace of mind for bathrooms and loft conversions where fire protection matters.
Quick installation and smooth dimming – With included junction box and wide dim range
Each lamp ships with a compact junction box requiring only 2.5cm of ceiling space and connects directly to AC 230V, so no external transformer is needed. Brightness is adjustable from 10% to 100% and is compatible with most trailing dimmers, excluding smart dimmers.
Clip-on bezels and a plug-in junction box mean fast, tool-light fitting for retrofit and new-build ceilings. Smooth dimming gives comfortable control over light levels for different tasks.
