Galvanised Soffit Downlight For LED Lamps - Adjustable Wallwashing

What is the recommended spacing for soffit downlights?
That’s a personal thing, depending on what the features the facia might have. As a rough guide 1 to 1.2 metres apart on single storey buildings and 1.5 - 2 metre centres on a two-storey building, but temporarily wiring a couple into a plug and lead and trying out the spacing before cutting holes is how a professional would be sure.

Can you tell me if these create much heat behind the unit. I intend to fit them where the back will be about 40mm into insulation.
The only heat generated is by the bulb so make sure you use LED's. The fitting has a depth of 85mm.

Can I link 3 lights to one switch easily?
Yes, these are wired straight to mains. If you are unsure please consult your electrician.

Can these be used with a PIR sensor?
Yes, these can be wired up to a PIR sensor.

Can this be used with an RGB lamp?
If the lamp has larger dimensions than the standard GU10 lamp, it will most likely fit - however you will lose the tiltability.

Can I rewire a standard outside bulb fitting to this one without a transformer etc?
This fitting is wired directly into the mains, if the previous fitting was the same and can house the dimensions, I do not see why this would not work.

Can you use these internally for celing lights?
Yes, they’ll give you an industrial look when used inside. The dulling of the finish (Oxidisation) will take much longer so they will be bright and shiny for some time.

Can I use a cool white bulb in this fitting? It is for a costal location.
This fixture uses a mains GU10 lamp. You are free to choose the light output, colour temperature and beam angle that suits your needs. The fixture is galvanised (hot dipped in a zinc alloy) this makes very resistant to salt rich air encountered in coastal regions.

Are these fire rated?
These are not fire rated as standard, search firehood, for a hood which would add fire rated protection.

Can you tell me how much clearance is needed above fitting, as I'm installing in quite a tight spot
The terminal block does not need to be installed on the fixture and can simply be put into the ceiling. That leaves the depth of the lamp (55-60mm and the lampholder, so the recess depth can be as little as 75mm.

What centres, typically, are these set at in the soffit?
There is no typical centre, it depends on the width of the soffit, a customer's preference and the ability of the soffit to contain the fitting... If that makes sense.

Are these dimmable please?
These come without lamps. So long as using dimmable lamps, they can be dimmed.

Are these dimmable?
The fitting itself can be dimmed. So long as you use a dimmable lamp these can be dimmed easily.

Would this light be suitable for a conservatory fascia? I'm looking for a light that will cast a beam towards the garden but also the path below. The soffit isn't wide enough to accommodate lights but the fascia probably is. Is this light provided with a dimmer switch? And is it possible to have 5 or 6 lights on the same dimmer switch?
This can be used in a conservatory fascia when used with an LED lamp. These are a mains downlight, you can have a number of downlights on an inside dimmer switch. This listing is for the downlight only, Dimmable LED lamps and a dimmer switch would need to be bought separately.

What's the maximum soffit thickness that these lights will fit?
Maximum ceiling thickness is around 20mm.

Is this suitable to run off a mains circuit so no transformers are needed? I want to create a run of eight through the eaves but also need these to be easy to remove and replace, if necessary in the future, without having to take the larch cladding in the soffits off. Do they have clips so pull down quite easily?
This fitting does run off the mains and does not require a transformer. Lamp change is easy, and they do have clips. We would recommend using LED lamps as they have a much longer lamp life.

Are these galvanised down lights suitable for a coastal location?
Yes these downlights are perfect for coastal locations, they even have a 15 year guarantee against corrosion.

Is the tilt on these lights fixed or can it be adjusted?
The tilt is adjustable up to 45 degrees

My soffit is 50mm thick, would I be able to fit these spots?
This tilted downlight could not be used in a soffit that is 50mm thick because the clips that hold it in place are simply not big enough.
