JCC V50 Down-lights or alternatives?

[FatAlan]

You’ve clearly not been embarrassed by the FGLED6.

Never heard of them! Are they like the Guildford 4 or Birmingham 6?

Part number of a spectacularly disastrous JCC fitting of years gone by.

I don't wanna talk about it, cost me millions.

Is this all your stock that you need to shift?

About the end of 2017, my wholesalers said they would not stock JCC FGLED6’s, which was a pain ‘cos one I installed had gone Pete Tong. Apparently they had a few gone faulty. I was shown three great big boxes of duff ones. They eventually sourced me one.

The start of last year, I had one customer, whose house I installed 6’s to replace his aging MR16, had them go, one by one. He had to get replacement direct from JCC, as the warranty had past the two year mark.

All very embarrassing.

@Midwest it's reasons like that and the fact they discontinue the models quite quickly that when it comes to downlights I'll install a GU10 fitting and a standalone lamp.

Apparently the "new revolutionary" JCC hybrid fitting has now been written off by them and they flogged their stock to a discounter.

Awful company.

Fitted 18 V50s 6 months back with no problems. Just about to fit anoth 40. I like the push fit connectors.

Currently looking at LED downlights and keep coming back to JCC V50. Heard more good than bad. Are you still using them? You said you like the push fit connectors but are they suitable for cable or just flex? Thanks.

the yare designed for cable, generally 1.0mm T/E. :

V50™ - High Performance Colour Selectable LED Downlight

V50’s low profile design enables the fitting to be installed in applications that have a shallow 50mm ceiling void, as well as featuring a simple 2-way switch that allows users to choose between either 3000k or 4000k colour temperature.
