JCC V50 Down-lights or alternatives?

[Paul Poynter]

Hi,
I am wanting to fit LED downlight throughout my home. Not only to improve the look of my home but also to save power and be more energy efficient.
I already have downlight fitted in my kitchen and bathroom, the kitchen in cool white and the bathroom in warm white. The downlight I am considering for the rest of the house is the JCC V50 as it gives me the option of either colour temperature in one unit and is dimmable.
I would be grateful for anyones views or alternative suggestions as well as your advise on the best supplier to use and any discount codes that may be valid. I am wanting a total of 24.
Thank you for reading my thread and I look forward to seeing your replies.

i like the JCC V50. don't know of anything better for similar price.

I use the KSR QR10. Dimmable and IP65 as standard. They also do a colour selectable one, and an auto colour selector version where you can set the colour through rocking the switch. Not used that one myself though.
I think Enlite E8 also get a good noise made about them.

I’ve only had one driver failure on all the V50 that I have fitted. It’s my ‘go to’ downlighter until something changes my mind.

Click Scholmore also do some good examples.

I am getting little unconvinced about sealed unit down lights, these days. Whilst the reliability is good these days, you are rather locked into that technology for the term of the warranty and life span of the lamp.

I didn't think I would say it, but I quite like the likes of Philips Hue stuff, not withstanding their lumen output is lower and the price higher, they are rather more flexible in what you can do with them.

Thoughts?

See, you don't know what your missing out on. Great on the Barbie, and a squeeze of lemon. Don't cook them for too long, otherwise they become all rubbery.

Prawns are good too.

Don't tell me you don't like cod & chips.

You’ve clearly not been embarrassed by the FGLED6.
