Led Downlight Recommendations

[budwozza]

After some LED downlight recommendations, have been looking at Ansell Orbio 360 and Enlite E5/E5, like the look of the E5/E8

Any good or bad feedback, any other suggestions.

Need to be dimmable.

Thanks.

If ceilings are being plaster boarded and/or skimmed I would go for something that has a decent sized cut out that you can fit your hand in to fish cables etc out.

The Ansell Orbio are a good unit and I hear good things about the Enlites too. I use KSR QR10 myself though.

JCC they come with a 10 year warranty if registered online....

Upgrading from the iPhone 5 to 7 ruined my life . 7 is wider and won't fit through a 70mm hole .

Fitted plenty of E8s , not had a failure yet . Good light output very natural looking . Didn't like the orbios

Haha....I bet. I normally poke the phone up the downlight hole with the camera rolling to try and find the cables.

This is where a skinny apprentice with small hands is very useful.

Yeah double handy....I cant even fit my hand in a 76mm downlight hole whereas my apprentice can get his whole arm in

One should be accurately recording where one has located said down lights/cables negating the need to guess where the previously located cables were positioned

Also installed hundreds of Enlite E8s, no failures in service so far, and very easy to install. The latest batch had improved push-in connectors that didn't hurt thumb when pressing to open them.

Though did have one faulty out of the box with a N to E internal short (internal wire caught by sharp component solder point in the potted electronics).

The eco600 made by photonstar are the dogs dangly bits in my opinion, but the price is somewhat off-putting for the cheapskates and bodgers out there

I like the ksr qr10 myself, easy worked with too.
