Which fire rated downlighters?

[Markyd]

I never fit the integral ones as can run into problems if they discontinue the model and you cant get one to match which means either changing them all or having an odd light,,,,also typical builders answer use Lap cheap screwfix lights........vaulted ceiling if you use adjustable then you can point them down and not have them pointing at a fixed angle which is usually straight in your face

Hello, this one is fire rated and comes with 3 colours temperatures in one fitting warm natural and cool white

Builder says just use Screwfix LAP fixed integral LED downlights.

I never thought that I'd live to see the day where I agree with a builder, but in this particular instance I would heed his advice and pay a visit to your local Screwfix branch and grab yourself a bargain.

I've fitted dozens of these downlights and would highly recommend them.

I wouldn't buy them because they are branded LAP. I'm not saying you're wrong (as I haven't used them) but LAP products aren't something I give the benefit of the doubt to.

I agree have used LAP before and not a big fan of had 2 faulty spots out of 20 and then also had to replace another 3 within 6 months of install cheap and cheerful at the time but learnt that bottom end price means call backs go for mid range that’s my advice integrated are more expensive but better in long run

To be honest, I don't normally use LAP products, but I make an exception for these downlights. The first batch that I fitted were supplied by the client and I was impressed by the product. I've installed dozens more since and have had no problems whatsoever with any of them. Read the product reviews posted by other electricians!

I must have had bad batch then from my local screwfix store and refused to use them since but each to their own I’ve seen electricians write good reviews on BG sockets etc and they are s**t

I can't comment on BG sockets as I've never installed any! I'm strictly Schneider and Hager for sockets and switches.

Good call I’m Hager and Crabtree all the way would rather charge the bit extra and know that you get good quality

Don’t like to put a anyone down but BG are not the best

Don't listen to the builder for electrical advice and should the situation arise don't listen to your electrician for building advice!! And never buy anything LAP or you'll be replacing them within a short space of time

I fit KSR integrated downlights. I have been doing so for more than 4 years now and can count the failures on one hand out of many many hundreds installed. I can vouch for their quality and after sales service. They make a good range to suit most situations. I have just put some angled ones in for a vaulted ceiling extension this week.

I would not fit anything made by LAP. Well not for anyone I liked anyway.

26 downlights sounds like a big extension.

I used to shout about JCC but since they stopped production of the LED10 and Hybrid9's after I was selling them with a 10 year warranty, I wont touch them now.
Collingwood lighting have a good range, their T2Lite are very reasonably priced and tick all the boxes for me. They also have an on-site calculator of which is useful.

Do you mean H2 lite?

Or buy the non branded Rexel equivalents for a few quid less but only get a 3 year warranty.

 

[stevethesparks]

It probably is the H2, my bad and my memory

It is quite a big L shaped extension. Does it sound like too many lights? How far apart would you space lights that have a 60degree beam?
