Installation Guide for Trimless Downlights – Suitable for All Ceiling Thicknesses
Preparation:
- Tools and Materials: Gather a drill, hole saw, padsaw (for square cutouts), plaster mix, trowel, corrosion-resistant screws, and safety gear.
- Safety Precautions: Confirm the power is switched off at the mains to ensure a safe working environment.
Installation Steps:
-
Measuring and Marking: Carefully measure and mark the position of your downlights on the ceiling. Ensure the spacing is even for a consistent look.
-
Cutting the Hole:
- For circular downlights, use the hole saw to cut out the marked circles.
- For square downlights, drill pilot holes at each corner of the marked square. Then use the hole saw to remove the centre portion and a padsaw to trim out to the pilot holes, creating a precise square opening.
-
Wiring Connection: Connect the downlight to the mains power, strictly adhering to electrical codes and regulations. It's best to have this step confirmed by a qualified electrician.
-
Securing the Downlight: Insert the downlight into the cutout. Fix it in place using corrosion-resistant screws through the provided perforated plate. This secures the light and prepares it for plastering.
-
Applying Skim Coat of Plaster: Mix your plaster according to the manufacturer's directions. Skim a 2-3mm thick coat over the ceiling, covering the edges of the downlight's perforated plate. Smooth it out for a seamless finish with the ceiling surface.
Finishing:
- Sanding: After the plaster has dried, sand the area to a fine finish, ensuring any rough edges are smoothed out.
- Painting: Clean the sanded area of any dust, and apply paint to match the ceiling, completing the seamless look.
Post-Installation Tips:
- Once the finish is perfectly smooth and dry, turn the power back on and test the functionality of the downlights.
- The lamp can be replaced without tools, and for low-voltage models, the transformer is accessible through the light unit.
Enjoy Your New Seamless Lighting: Your new trimless downlights are now an integral part of your ceiling, providing a modern look and efficient lighting to your space.
