FAQ's
A: The cut-out size refers to the hole diameter needed in the ceiling to fit the downlight. Most 8W LED downlights require a 65mm to 90mm cut-out, but it’s essential to check the specific product details before installation.
- If replacing existing downlights, measure the current cut-out to ensure compatibility.
- If installing new lights, plan the layout carefully to avoid joists and wiring obstructions.
A: The beam angle determines how the light spreads across a room. 8W LED downlights typically come with beam angles between 60° and 120°, allowing for either focused or wide-area lighting.
- A 60° beam angle is ideal for accent lighting or task areas.
- A 120° beam angle offers broader, more even coverage for general room lighting.
When planning your lighting layout, consider spacing and ceiling height to achieve optimal brightness and avoid dark spots.
A: Dimmable 8W LED downlights offer adjustable brightness, making them perfect for creating ambiance in living spaces, bedrooms, and dining areas. However, they must be paired with an LED-compatible dimmer switch to prevent flickering or reduced lifespan.
- Check product specifications to confirm dimmability.
- Avoid using traditional halogen dimmers, as they may not work properly.
