JCC love here too.

As a slight aside, has anyone ever used KSR led downlights ? A local wholesaler is pushing them lately.... Apparently a company run by someone who was something to do with JCC. They are pushing them out extremely cheap.

Fitted some ksr led downlights last week.
i think they are on par with the halers one and quite a bit cheaper.
quite a shallow heat sink at the back if space is tight.

I just took a look at some 6w KSRs, £36. I think I'll stick with JCC

About this price in fact and about £22 for the dimmable I think

Yes, a very good fitting.... good quality build and roomy terminals. I use them sometimes but mainly use JCC as a GU10 option.

Thanks guys, JCC do seem as excellent company to deal with, but at the time I thought a tad expensive. From comments above possibly wrong.

A bit more expensive but a 10 year warranty!! You get what you pay for.

The ones I'm fitting come with 7years warranty, which isn't too bad.

So to confirm and I've got this right. IP44 rated fittings are OK to install in a bathroom / above a shower cubical?

go for shower rated ones mate

By shower rated ones, does that basically mean IP65? I believe when reading manufactures buff on line yesterday, they claimed suitable for bathrooms. Would IP44 be the absolute minimum?

I think most electricians would fit IPx4 (or greater) rated downlights directly above a bath or shower even if it is slightly outside the zone (i.e above 2.25m), and then like Murdoch said, you may as well fit them all the same as it will look better.

Unless the ceiling above the shower or bath is going to be subjected to jets of water then IPx4 is absolutely fine.

Here is a good document on IP ratings, I'd read it all Driverman but in particular have a look at pages 8 and 12 and they will explain exactly what all the figures mean with regards IP ratings.

thats one of the reasons we usd icage, they look the same.

the only difference is a rubber gasket and glass between lamp and twist-lock to hold the lamps in
