so i've got a question for you gary how often during the day do you think a customer will
change their mind well if i'm in a property for eight hours i would suggest eight times well this
spekroled led downlight from Knightsbridge can help with customers who can't make their mind up
okay so you reckon this light fin here can make electrician's life easier and therefore customers
and also will circle back to the wholesaler in one fitting in one fitting yeah so this is the
40 in one down light from from knightsbridge okay 40 and one explain a little bit more how i get 40
more because it looks like one light fitting to me well pick the light fitting you might like in
the morning here okay so i might get up i want 2700 kelvin i probably want it with a white bezel
in a certain area in the house and five watts okay then Mrs H comes back in the afternoon you've
almost finished the project and she says well i don't like that color and it's a bit dim in here
okay she might want 8 watts 4000 kelvin and she might want a black bezel on it yeah and this is
exactly how this down light can come up with it because all those options are built in so yes we
have a closer look at it gary so we're going to build it into one fitting you're telling me this
has got 40 variants in one fit it's a nice looking fitting nice looking nice and shallow we'll get
that out first this is 42 millimeter recess depth okay so while we're talking about that
let's go with the thermal insulation can i lay thermal insulation over the top you can thermal
insulation and we'll get that other one out the way it is tested with all those latest types of
joists that prefabricate engineered timber and the web joist and the i-joist that we're seeing
in properties so here's the clever bit okay got him so switch on the back you can select between
five and eight watts so it gives us lumen outputs of between 465 and 795 lumens so that solves that
it's too bright or it's not bright enough you can just flick a switch and alter that and then we've
got our four color temperature here options here so let's just have a closer look at how that works
so i'm starting here at 2700 degrees kelvin typical what you'd find in an incandescent lamp
then move through to 3000 kelvin which is halogen color temperature then through the 4000 which is
probably what you'd find in a lot of fluorescent tubes commercial office space and then all the way
up to 6000 degrees kelvin often referred to as daylight white back to 2700 here and then we're
just going to look at the dimming performance so we've paired this up with a Knightsbridge dimmer
that we've looked at previously in our great british dim off if you haven't seen that check
it out but you'd expect to see the manufacturer of the dimmer match with the downlight to see
some great dimming performance so we're just going to slowly uh take it down we don't want to see any
visible flicker we want to be able to get down to a low end and there we go nice smooth dimming
down to that low end that we want and yeah i'd be quite happy with that in any residential setting
i'll see if i can catch you out can i use it in a bathroom ah well so there good news on
this product is it's ip65 rated from the front so absolutely you can ip20 on the back because we've
got quite a few switches in there while we're on the topic the bathrooms gary if you haven't
seen the video we made about another sprinkling of innovation that knightsbridge brought the market
the triple pull grid switch isolator check out that video as well i will put a link in the
description and somewhere in the eye above my head i've got a feeling you're stalling for time so
i'll try and get you out again and see the one in your hand there has got a white bezel on it does
it come in any other colors okay so knightsbridge have approached this in a slightly different way
so you you order the housing and it comes without a bezel right okay easily clips on but you know
you've got to think a lot of manufacturers used to put these in the box in all those different colors
and you'd end up putting half of them in the skit yeah or that's it gathering dust somewhere never
to be used so i think that option of housing and then choosing the bezel you want and ordering that
as the accessory is a sensible option and you can get that obviously in the white we've got
here matte black polish chrome brush chrome and your favorite gary what's my favorite don't say it
yeah it's your favorite brass i'd just like to say for the record brass is not my favorite color
so i'm going to catch you out i bet it comes with a one or two year warranty doesn't it
also comes with our five year warranty and just to mention the beam angle on here is
60 degrees but yeah we think this is yeah we think you couldn't keep on innovating in down
lights knightsbridge have done it again gary but there's one thing we haven't looked at and
that's the bit that a lot of people always get excited about how easy is it to wire
well it goes without saying we all love a screwless connector simply push our conductors
into position you've got the ability to loop in and loop out the netflix really satisfying with
that ratchet in action yeah that's a well-designed cord grip also works incredibly well with around
cables as well if you're using flex and a simple process to reverse it obviously on clip press the
three levers down and you can pull your conductors out nice and simply let's put it together now
so we have a clear window there for a visual polarity which is a nice touch you don't see
that very often oh it is yeah handy for a quick visual inspection so bringing more light fitting
now so it might be a case of you've waited for the ceiling to be decorated or you've done your
testing insulation resistance and now we're going to push them together it clips and locks into
position and obviously then our light fitting can go up once we've finished all the testing
and decorating so nice simple process as well 70 mil hole again just be careful as you wiggle it in
nice firm springs into place job done now that was easy to fit if we circle back to that customer it
keeps changing their mind i've got the two wattage settings i've got the four color temperatures i'm
on clover yeah it is it makes everyone's life easygoing including ready for this the wholesaler
because you obviously have to keep one item in stock electrician goes in i want a down light
here it is what color bezel do you want job done you're off out on the road you've got your van
yeah this is yeah a great option yeah covers all those bases yeah and for me and that means
that for transporting it's one light fitting that's transported actually to the electrical
wholesaler with all those bezel choices you've got a 40 and one light fin but as always at efix we're
interested in your feedback have you been fitting the spektroled downlight from Knightsbridge
did you know about this 40 in one variant so you can have if you haven't are you now rushing
down to your electrical wholesaler to pick the one like thing you need to keep that customer
happy we love all your feedback if you leave it below he'll get back to every single one of them
you
