What does integrated downlight mean?
An integrated downlight is a fitting with an installed LED lamp as part of the fitting. Integrated downlights offer longer life spans than LED lamps. Integrated Downlights are now extremely popular in all rooms of the home or office and we have a range of colour temperatures to suit them all.
Are all LED downlights the same?
Not necessarily. The correct brightness level should be decided based on the characteristics of each room, such as the amount of downlights relative to the size and height of the room.
Are downlights 240V?
While new homes now use a GU10 connection especially when installing LED Downlights which runs on a 240V circuit and does not require transformers. Transformers and LED downlight drivers draw power as well as light, therefore 240V downlights are more energy efficient.
What is the best downlights to use?
When choosing downlights the LED option is a balance between efficiency (watts) and brightness (lumens). For example, if you usually use a 60-watt incandescent bulb, you now probably want to choose a LED downlight that uses 8 to 12 watts and has a lumen rating of 800 for the same amount of illumination.
How do you tell the difference between halogen and LED downlights?

A better range of lamps to choose from which are brighter, whiter, more efficient and longer lasting than their 240 volt cousins. Some 12 volt lamps are twice as efficient as their 240 volt equivalents. If you have an accident with a low voltage cable it is usually easier to fix.
How many watts is a downlight?
Wattage. Wattage measures how much energy the light will take to work. LED downlights have a wattage around 4.5 watts to 14 watts compared to a standard halogen downlight which is around 55 watts, this makes them energy efficient lights solutions.
What does IP54 mean on plumbing fittings?
IP54. IP stand for Ingress Protection. It is a rating that describes the protection a fitting has from intrusion of Solid and Liquid material. The letters IP are always followed by 2 numbers, the first refers to intrusion by solids (1-6) and the second refers to intrusion by liquids (1-8).
What does the IP54 code on my enclosure mean?
The code labels an enclosure’s IP followed by two numbers; the first digit shows the extent to which equipment is protected against particles, and the second digit indicates the extent of protection against water. Our IP54 enclosures have a high level of protection against particles, and a fair amount of protection against water.
What is ipip54 IP rating?
IP54 IP stand for Ingress Protection. It is a rating that describes the protection a fitting has from intrusion of Solid and Liquid material. The letters IP are always followed by 2 numbers, the first refers to intrusion by solids (1-6) and the second refers to intrusion by liquids (1-8).
What is the difference between IP54 and IP55?
IP54Water splashed against the machine from any direction shall have no harmful effect. IP55 Water projected by a nozzle against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect.
