Collingwood Lighting, a UK manufacturer of LED lighting products, claims that its new H2 Lite CSP downlight gives the contractor more lighting options from the same fitting than any currently available.
Each luminaire has four switchable colour temperatures and offers two illumination levels.
The company says it is the first luminaire in the UK with a colour temperature option of 2200K, which is a warm, relaxing light that is similar to a sunset or warm fireplace glow.
The other three colour temperatures are a warm 2700K, 3000K, and a cooler white light of 4000K. You can also switch between a 4W and 6W output for a 460 or 780 lumens light level.
The switches for changing both the colour temperature and the wattages are on the front of the fitting, behind the removable twist and lock bezel, allowing the contractor to select and easily demonstrate different lighting options after installation.
An era of modern LED downlights
Anthony Martindale, Product Manager at Collingwood Lighting, says, “Modern LED downlights are a popular choice for customers. Lighting will affect how a room feels, and H2 Lite CSP allows you alter its output to suit how people use the space and to match the decoration.
“The lighting requirements of a kitchen are different to those of a living room or a bedroom and, in the commercial market, you want different solutions for corridors or toilets [compared to] a space where you want people to relax, such as in a break-out room or a restaurant or pub.
“By offering switchable colour temperatures and illumination levels, you can offer different solutions without carrying multiple luminaires in your van or returning to the wholesaler.”
For installation, the new downlight’s two-part connector allows first fix wiring without the luminaire, followed by a simple plug-in connection for second fix after other trades have finished.
The connector has lever terminal blocks complete with testing ports, designed for faster and easier cabling.
After installation, the contractor can select the preferred colour temperature and illumination level before fixing its twist and lock bezel.
H2 Lite CSP has an IP65 rating from below (making it suitable for bathroom zone 1), is dimmable, and has a lifetime of 70,000 hours, which is equivalent to 63 years if used for 3 hours a day.
