Can you please eplain the difference between daylight, warm light and cool light globe ? I am planning on using the lights along a verandah and entertaining area Thanks
Asked by Maggie Hills from Darwin - 16 Sep

Hi,

Warm white is similar to an incandescent globe, daylight is a very white light and cool white is in between.

Thanks,

I note that there are models for 13W, 15W and 18 W; what is the appropriate wattage for a living and dining room and other areas of a residential property? Is the price differential between the various models solely because of the wattage of the globes? Is there a requirement to also purchase and install a heat protector as our ceiling has insulation?
Asked by Boon Wong from Perth - 10 Oct

Hi,

If you are wanted to illuminate an areas of the home that require lighting for reading ect I would suggest 15W or higher and use the lower watt models for feature lighting.

The price difference is based on the globes. Each lighting kit contains the same frame but different globes which have extra cost associated with their manufacture.

These are fluorescent globes run at a much lower temperature than halogen which allows them to be more energy efficient. Australian Standards don't require them to be installed with a heat shied.

Thank you,

What sort of globe does this fitting take. I'm only aware of the GU10's going up to 13W. Are the globes readily available?
Asked by Sam from Adelaide - 26 Feb

Hi.

It is an 18W Gu10 globe. They have been around for nearly 2 years now.
Here is the link to the globe

What is the beam angle of these lights?
Asked by Chris from Sydney - 27 Mar

Hi.

Fluorescent globes do not have a beam angle because it shoots out in all directions.

Would this downlight be suitable for placement on a 5.5 metre high ceiling or would the light not reach the floor at this height?
Asked by Confused from Perth - 02 May

Hi.


You would probably need more of them because you will loose a lot of light at that height.

As everyone's opinion of "what is enough light" is different, my suggest would be to get just one and try it out to see if it would be suitable for you needs.

Hi, I would like to know what is this "New "Fast Start" Technology", does that mean, when you turn on light, it turns on instantly unlike earlier version of energy saving light, which will take some time to start. Thanks,
Asked by joshi from parramatta, sydney - 16 Jun

Hi.

No, it is not "instant On". It just reaches full power much faster then the older versions of these globes.
