Light begins at 40 with SpektroLED downlights

The configurable SpektroLED downlight from Knightsbridge – one of the UK’s leading brands of wiring devices, accessories and lighting – represents a huge leap forward in versatility and choice for lighting projects.

SpektroLED Fixed and SpektroLED Tilt are each a genuine 40-in-1 solution

SpektroLED broke through the limitations of traditional LED downlights, offering unrivalled choice in performance and style in one package, doing away with the need to specify multiple LED lamp types. That versatility, freedom and choice has now been radically increased with the addition of the SpektroLED Tilt version.

The fixed and tilt downlights can be configured to offer 40 variants from the one product, thanks to its selectable wattages and CCTs and choices of bezel. Depending on the required illumination, either 5W (up to 465 lumens) or 8W (up to 795 lumens) can be pre-selected via a switch on the rear of the lamp body. Once chosen, there are four CCTs available – 2700K, 3000K, 4000K and 6000K – and the desired colour temperature is selected by a sliding switch, also on the rear of the lamp body.

Further customisation is then possible through the various bezel options that allow the lamp to complement or contrast with a room’s décor or colourways. The bezels come in a choice of stylish finishes, from popular white and matt black to chrome, polished chrome and brass.

These permutations of wattage, colour temperature and bezel choice make SpektroLED Fixed and SpektroLED Tilt each a genuine 40-in-1 solution.

Installation, as with all Knightsbridge products, is straightforward. Each unit, which has a low-profile design, features cleverly engineered first and second fix power connectors with loop in/loop out terminals that can be terminated and hidden away while other works are finished. Then the downlights can be simply plugged in to complete the installation after decoration, avoiding the issue of paint-damaged bezels. The connectors also allow the luminaire to be removed for maintenance or even re-programming by simply unplugging them.

The downlights are fire rated for solid timber, web joist and I-joist installation for up to 90 minutes depending on materials and, in addition, are IC rated for retention of efficiency of mineral wool insulation in the ceiling void. SpektroLED Fixed has an IP65 rating from below, making it suitable for use in bathrooms and wet rooms, while SpektroLED Tilt is rated at IP20.

Once installed, SpektroLED will give 50,000 hours of rated LED life and can be used with leading and trailing-edge dimmers, should the need arise, though compatibility should be verified beforehand. A five-year warranty guarantees peace of mind.
