Product Information

Full details

This brushed gold LED downlight from The Soho Lighting Company is designed for homeowners and installers seeking high-quality, versatile, and safe lighting solutions. Its key benefit is the superior colour rendering (CRI 95-97) which shows true colours, combined with a choice of light temperatures and dimmability.

FAQs

What does CRI 95-97 mean for me?

A high CRI (Colour Rendering Index) means the light source is very good at showing the true colours of objects, similar to how they would appear in natural daylight. This leads to better clarity and more vibrant, accurate colours in your home.

Can I install this in my bathroom?

Yes, this downlight is IP65 rated, making it safe for installation in bathroom zones 1 and 2, which include areas near the shower or bath.

How do I change the light colour temperature?

There is a front-facing switch on the downlight itself. You can easily toggle this switch to select between Warm White (3000K), Daylight (4000K), or Cool White (6000K).

Do I need a special switch to dim this light?

Yes, you will need a compatible LED dimmer switch to control the brightness of this downlight. Please ensure your dimmer is rated for LED loads.

Is this downlight fire-rated?

Yes, it is fire-rated for 30, 60, and 90 minutes, complying with building regulations for fire safety in ceilings.

What are the dimensions of the downlight?

The downlight has a diameter of 83.82mm, a height of 82mm, and requires a cut-out of 70mm.

What is the wattage and brightness?

The downlight has a wattage of 10W. At 3000K, it produces approximately 550 lumens.

Troubleshooting

Downlight does not turn on

Check that the power supply is on and correctly connected to the driver and mains. Ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify the light switch is functional.

Light flickers

Ensure all connections are secure. If dimming, check for dimmer compatibility issues or if the dimmer is set to a very low level. Try a different compatible dimmer switch.

Cannot change colour temperature

Ensure the CCT switch is fully engaged in one of the three positions (3000K, 4000K, 6000K). If the switch feels loose or difficult to move, contact support.

Reduced brightness or dimming issues

Verify the dimmer switch is fully functional and compatible with LED loads. Check if the downlight is correctly wired and if the transformer/driver is functioning properly.
