    LED Recessed Downlight with dim "ring" around the edge

    i walked a model home yesterday and it had been fitted with can lights that had a typical downlight, but the standard downlight trim would also emit a soft glow around the edge as an option as well. Basically the light switch toggled between those options: Downlight on, dim edge glowing only...

    Can I DIY replace downlight transformer?

    Yes I know what the answer is and you're going to shoot me down in flames... but I'm tired of calling in a sparky every time one of my downlight transformers die. I've seen how they work and how he screws the wires back in .... how unsafe is it for me to replace one of these myself and match...

    UK LED downlight flickering and going on and off intermittently

    Hi all, Have 6 x GU 5.3 LED downlights in the bathroom. Had no issues for 3 years and lights have started flickering and some go off for periods and come back on randomly. Changed the bulbs for new ones but exactly the same. There is no dimmer switch. Just a standard single way switch. HELP!!!

    Are these cables too close to an LED downlight?

    I'm fairly certain the answer is yes. But I've drilled a hole for an LED downlight and unfortunately it's busy with cables. Moving it will be a hassle due to the spacing of the other lights, just before I do - are the LED lights somehow such low temp that I could in fact just keep it here...

    Hi, I’m new here, hopefully a simple question for the professionals. I am installing down lights in an upstairs bedroom. The plasterer has gracefully removed the lamp and pushed the cables up into the loft. In the loft I now have a cable coming from the bedroom light switch and a second cable...

    Downlight min distance to joists

    Yes that one again - been answered a millions times BUT often the answer is do what the MI say. I have the Enlite DLM982x and it doesn't specify any distances. Obvisouly I'm fitting LEDs but these cans would in theory allow a halogen. SO, belts and braces seems to suggest 50mm but could I fit...

    Not sure what downlight type this is?

    Hello, I am new and desperately seeking advice on some integrated downlights. The connector has made it seemingly impossible for me to buy some replacements. It is a Luxna integrated luminare style, so the whole thing has to be replaced when failed. It's warm white, 240v, 10w and IP65 (the...

    Fit a downlight into soffit but wasn't wood!

    I drilled into a soffit to fit a downlight. The soffit wasn't wood, growing a bit concerned it's asbestos. Few questions: 1. If it's not wood, what other building material could it be? It's a thin, dry almost plasterboard like sheet. 2. If it were asbestos, would sticking the downlight in the...
