Two Piece IP65 12v Bathroom Downlight

They would be in the bathroom so are appropriately rated for zone 1 and below aren`t they? Is there any additional wires required for between light unit and transformer? And does 3-core just get wired directly into the transformer? Are these suitable for installing within loft insulation roll? My intention is to use existing light cable and run these (approx. 8-9) down lighters off it if that`s feasible?
These are suitable for zone 1. The fixture has a lamp holder and two leads that go to a small junction box. You attach the secondary (12v) lead from the transformers to this box. The primary (mains) lead is connected to your lighting circuit. Do not put insulation over these fixtures - they will overheat. Cut a hole or (if you feel you must insulate over them) make a box from MDF or plasterboard to allow air to circulate. You can re-use old cables if they are in good condition. Consult an electrician if you have any concerns.

Im wanting some downlighters to go on roof of my chimney recess to light up my log burner stove. The temperature reaches 100c would these be suitable? If not can you recommend an alternative that doesn't cost the earth.
This fitting would be suitable, you may find the lamp life is slightly shorter being installed there, but not by a significant amount.

These are described as downlights. Is there any problem with using them as wall lights?
There would be no problem using these as wall lights.

I have a bathroom which is 1.8m by 2.6m with an airing cupboard which is 900mm square in 1 corner. It is currently lit by 3 60w R80 spots in the lowered ceiling. I want to redo the ceiling with new plasterboard and fit these spots - how many 50W fittings would you suggest to get the same light output as we currently have.
From the description four fittings with 50w lamps would the right amount of light. You may however choose to use five or six with 35w lamps if this arrangement is better suited to your layout. An increase in the number of fittings would reduce shadows.

Can you supply 35w lamps in your IP65 bathroom downlight kits in place of 50w lamps?
Yes of course. Either make a note of your requirement in the comment box when placing your order online or call our office.

Can I use these housings with some mains voltage GU10 lamp holders which I already have?
Yes you can! We`re all up for using existing kit where possible.

I`m looking to replace 2 downlighters in the bathroom. The existing hole cutouts are 95m - have you any suggestions?
If you search Hydro 12v Showerproof Downlight in our search box these fittings would be prefect.

Hello, what width accross is the black housing?
The diameter of the housing is 85mm

Are these lights suitable for fixing in zone 2 in my bathroom? I`m having a fitted cabinet above the sink and would like to install them in the bottom?
Yes these are suitable for zone 2 (and zone 1 & 3 too). They`re also F marked making them suitable for use in furniture and other normally flammable surfaces.

What temperature does the outside casing reach in operation? I wish to install these lights into PVC clad ceiling panels which are rated at 60 deg max.
You should also consider UV light as an issue too as this causes some uPVC product to become yellow and become brittle. While these luminaires are F marked (being suitable for fixing in flammable material) we would suggest that you use this fitting with an energy saving CFL lamp with a GU10 base or a LED lamp. This will ensure there is no degradation in your uPVC panels through heat or UV light.

Not quite clear from pic how the black part of the housing with `wings` stays put in the ceiling when you pull the other part out to change a bulb. How do you do it without pulling the black part out too? I`m looking for IP65 12v spots that have to go through two thicknesses of ceiling plasterboard.
Pull on the bezel and the housing may come out partially from the ceiling which to be honest is not the end of the world and makes it easier to get a grip. Pull and twist slightly and the wings dig in and keeps the housing in the ceiling. This can be used in double skin plasterboard ceilings without issue.

Got recessed lighting in bathroom but one bulb has gone - on investigation the transformer is only meant to have 4 connections - there are 5 currently. So I need to replace transformer and bulbs I am guessing - any suggestions?
It looks like you have found the right place, this is our standard IP rated recessed downlight and so tends to be the one we specify. Do you currently have all lights wired to one transformer? We always suggest individual transformers as this means that if a transformer fails at least it is only the one lamp that goes out. The kits listed below all come with the fitting, lamp and a 60va auto-resetting transformer and so should be perfect for your needs.

Could you tell me, does this come supplied with a transformer and lamp, or is it just what you see in the illustration?
This light is sold independently, or with transformer and lamp. Scroll down the page for full details.

Gosh these are cheap. What`s the catch? Haha, I like that spam-buster.
The original design was by illuma lighting and called Proseal and sells for around £35.00. This initial design was worked on and improved. With low R&D costs and 1000`s sold each year we keep costs down. Oddly enough illuma recently went into administration - odd world isn`t it!
