IP65 Soffit Downlight with LED Lamp

Was is the cut dia for your product KITRDSHWW?
The cut out is 64mm.

Is the lamp cool or warm white? Also, do you post to IV43 8QS, isle of skye?
You can pick between warm white or cool white. We can deliver to that address.

I am trying to purchase soffit fixed lights that operate dawn till dusk - do you have such a thing?
While you might find lamps that have a dusk to dawn feature built-in, it’s likely that they will all operate at different times. A cheaper option, both as the initial investment and for maintenance costs would be to use a simple remote miniature photocell on the circuit that supplies a number of downlights.

Is this fitting suitable for external use?
This fitting is IP65 and therefore suitable for use outdoors with a protection from low pressure water jets from any direction.

Can you give me any idea of the spread of light from these, as an indication of how far apart to position them.
The lamp supplied in this kit has a beam angle of 60º, depending on the height of your ceiling and the area you are wishing to illuminate depends on the number of fittings needed. Most areas we would suggest a fitting every metre.

Can you please tell me the height of this fitting from top to bottom?
The height of the fitting would exclude the lamp and lamholder (and therefore be of no use). The void required is 85mm a little less is okay.

What is the diameter of the actual light area? Is the glass clear or frosted as i want a glow affect?
The diameter of the clear glass is 40mm.

Can these lights be used with a PIR?
Yes these lights can be operated by a PIR without any issues.

Are these available with a brass finish? If so how much and what is the order code?
Unfortunately we do not as yet have an IP rated downlight in a brass finish.

Can I replace my old ones with this kit, there is nothing realy wrong with the old other than the outer is rusty?
Being powdercoated paint and made from an alloy means these should last longer than your old fittings. Just check they are the same cut-out.

Is this available in other colours (grey/chrome)? What is the visible light opening diameter? Are bulbs replaced from below?
This kit uses a our standard IP65 downlight (found in our bathroom downlight section) which is also available in a polished chrome and satin nickel finish with a transformer and a long life lamp. Whilst we have never tested this fitting in finishes other than white in an exterior setting, it is IP65 and so offers suitable protection for this application. If you wish to have this soffit kit with a fitting in another finish please contact us and we`ll change the components to suit.

Are these lights OK to put in PVC soffits or do they stain it with the heat?
These fittings are 'F' Marked making them suitable for use in/on flammable materials. Heat and UV light will discolour uPVC but heat will be dissipated when used outdoors. If these were to be fitted inside i.e. in a porch we`d suggest a 35 or even 20 watt lamp.
