Hi all,

If anyone could identify these downlights I'd be grateful. Obviously they look like a fire rated, integrated LED fitting, just not a brand I'd usually use. Customer would like some more in a house he's just bought.

Many thanks

Looks like something out of Screwfix.
Don't think so massive, the JCC have a matte finish on metal whereas these are plastic and shiny. Look a bit flimsy tbh, the new ones are for a different room so JCC could be the answer. Thanks

Yes just Googled that and their robus ones look like the same bezel the light doesn't have the 3 chips in anymore but definitely could be that make old model, cheers. Did say I'd try and match but if they're obsolete will have to go similar.
 
if thatis white, you needed to have used exposure compensation by approx. 2 or 3 f-stops. :(
 
it's not them. look at the position of the step in the bezel.
 
I know I said looks similar good downlights though piece of p#ss to second fix. The bracket that clamps the cable down is rubbish especially if using LSF t+e.

Cheers
 
thought you all wore parkas and wellies down in Suffowk.
 
Personally I'd talk the customer into having fire rated cans with separate LED lamps. Those look like JCC but it doesn't matter which make I've used previously, JCC, Robus, Haler; I've often had to go back and replace the complete unit where they've failed.

Recently JCC sent one of my customers 70+ new downlights as he'd had a continual trend of them failing is one's and two's over the 2 years since they've been fitted. It's alright the manufacturer putting a 5, 7, 10 year guarantee on the actual fitting, but it doesn't cover the electricians time to pick up a replacement, fit it, take the failed unit back to the supplier etc. that either the customer or the electrician has to cover.

At least with separate lamps, the customer can replace them himself and not have those additional, ongoing costs.
