FAQs
Q) Can I lay insulation directly over these downlights?
A) Yes, insulation can be laid directly on top of this range of downlights. They are fitted with a patented insulation cover cap. This allows your downlight installation to be more energy efficient as it prevents the need to cut around it. This stops heat from escaping from the room below.
Q) Are these downlights supplied with the bezel?
A) Yes the bezel is included in the price, when you select which finish you require we supply this products as 2 items. You get the downlight can and the bezel which twists into place.
Q) Which lamps are suitable?
A) As long as you select 'perfect fit' sized lamps they will fit. These lamp are around 55mm in height and are designed as halogen replacements. Longer LEDs such as the Philips 8 watt won't fit, these are 80mm in height and are too deep. See our related products for the ones we recommend.
