Fire Rated LED down lights

[Midwest]

For a fitting with integrated driver, the ansell orbio 360 are pretty good.

Still needs a 50mm air gap

The E8 and E5 from enlite has a new push in connector which makes them a lot easier to connect than the old version which hurt your thumb after a few .

I know this gets done to death, but just some light debate (see what I did there!).

Been fervent installer of JCC FGLED down lights, mainly because of push fit connections and ten year warranty. I have used some other manufacturers, Scolmore Inceptor, but mainly JCC.

However, recently my wholesaler has decided to stop stocking the FGLED6, because of failures. I've just used some Hybrid 9's, which were ok, but they being like the FGLED 10's are limited to no's on circuit and a bit pricey, so I'm looking for new manufacturers (didn't like the look of the Hybrid 7 lense).

My wholesaler stocks the Enlite E5 & 8, but another sparks told be they are a bit awkward to terminate.

What's your preferred weapon of choice?

It seems like you like fitting these JCC fittings have you raised your concerns with them. We fit a lot of LED fittings all top makes Thorn, Thorlux, Sylvania etc. and always get some fittings stop working mainly driver. So it seems that even paying the inflated prices for these lights (£290 for LED fitting) you still have ones that fail and they only give year guarantee from day of purchase.

As an e.g. fitted some JCC 6's for a mate. One went in a bathroom, flickering. Replaced it (removed insulation above, not near joist etc), things gone again 6mths later. Will check the batch code, apparently a lot manufactured late 2014 were the problem.

I don't vast quantities, but some that fit hundreds, are fed up with the high turn over failure rate.

Collingwood H2 pro with insulation cap or if insulation isn't a problem Collingwood H2 Lite.

Did install some of those a customer provided. I know Collingwood is known for their quality products, but it did seem just an also ran IMO?

Not quite sue I did as well Lee. Apart from the problems with the JCC DL, just seem to be a better quality fitting. Never been quite happy with the cage clamp on the JCC, but I thought the Collingwood was worse?
