5. Setup and Installation

Important: Installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure power is disconnected before starting.

1. Prepare the Ceiling:

   Using an appropriate hole saw, cut a circular opening in the ceiling with a diameter of approximately 72mm. Ensure there is sufficient vertical clearance in the ceiling void for the downlight's housing (approx. 12cm depth).

2. Wiring:

   The downlight features tool-free access and loop-in loop-out terminals. Carefully strip the insulation from the live, neutral, and earth wires of your mains supply. Insert the wires into the corresponding push-fit terminals (Live, Neutral, Earth). Ensure a secure connection for all wires, especially the earth wire, due to the metal casing.

4. Install Downlight into Ceiling:

   Fold back the spring clips on the sides of the downlight housing. Carefully push the downlight into the prepared ceiling opening until the spring clips engage and hold the fitting securely in place. Ensure the rubber gasket is properly seated to maintain the IP65 rating.

5. Attach Bezel:

   The polished chrome bezel is secured by a twist mechanism. Align the bezel with the main housing and twist clockwise until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is flush with the ceiling surface.
