FAQs
What is CCT and why is it important?
CCT stands for Color Correlated Temperature. It refers to the perceived color of white light. This downlight allows you to choose between warm white (3000K), neutral/daylight white (4000K), and cool white (6000K) to match your preference or the room's function.
Is this downlight suitable for a bathroom?
Yes, it has an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and water jets, making it safe for installation in bathroom Zone 1.
Do I need a special type of dimmer switch?
Yes, this downlight is dimmable and requires a compatible LED dimmer switch. Please check the dimmer manufacturer's specifications for compatibility.
What size hole do I need to cut in the ceiling?
You will need to cut a hole with a diameter of 70mm.
How is the color temperature changed?
The color temperature is changed using a small switch located on the front of the downlight fixture itself. You can adjust it after installation.
What is the lifespan of this LED downlight?
While a specific lifespan is not provided, LED technology generally offers a long operational life compared to traditional lighting sources.
Can I replace the LED bulb in this downlight?
No, this is a fixed LED unit, meaning the LED chip is integrated and not designed to be replaced separately. The entire downlight unit would need to be replaced if the LED fails.
Troubleshooting
Downlight does not turn on
Check that the main power is on, the fuse/breaker is not tripped, and all wire connections to the driver and light are secure. Ensure the dimmer (if used) is compatible and set correctly.
Flickering light
Verify the dimmer compatibility and setting. Check all electrical connections for looseness. Ensure the driver is functioning correctly.
Color temperature not changing
Ensure the CCT switch is firmly pushed to the desired setting. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Light output is low
Check the selected lumen output for the chosen color temperature (550lm-700lm). Ensure the circuit is not overloaded and the dimmer is not set too low.
