it's early in the morning and me and Ryan have turned up to the customer's house we're just
outside um waiting for them now um we're here today to fit some down lights aren't we yeah 16
in total 16 Collingwood downlights they're ones that i've never fitted before and so
um they're they're i don't know i don't think they're new ones there but they're they're
push fit ones which yeah they seem pretty easy just push slot in they look quite easy so it's
first time Ryan's ever his first online's been with me and it's also the first time
down right so he's done lots of other things so let's um let's go into the house and see how it is
so then this is the light that we're going to be fitting today the H2 lights okay it's
made by Collingwood i've not fitted these ones before so let's have a look and see
what things we have
so one of the interesting things on this slide it's got this little switch here can you see
the switch there that means that we can operate the switch into three different
positions and and it can go between like a cool white a blue light and a warm light
so it's like a three in one function so let's have a go at fitting it so take this off
come spot nice and easily so as you can see that's slightly different on these ones compared to some
of the other down lights they're just push it fittings and so i don't know if you can see that
it's your your line your earth your CPC goes in there your neutral and there's your neutral
your CPC and your line in there and they're just simple push fit fittings now hopefully they'll
be as simple as just literally pushing it down with your thumb and pushing the cable in or i'll
have to push down with a screwdriver i don't quite know yet so we'll just do this first one
and so we've not done one of these before so we'll just offer it up
you see that okay and so we want to cut cut it down to about an inch or so
so we'll see how this looks normally if i was just doing a single light like this i would be
doubling back the actual conductors but on this one there's only enough room really to put it in
on a single so i'd normally double them back to put them in there but we're not going to do on
this one we're just going to push them straight in so put a little bit of the earth sleeving on
something like that
and it looks like it is literally as easy as just pushing all three conductors in it's
never that easy but it might be let's have a go so i'm just pushing all all over in
it definitely isn't that that easy let's just trim that back a bit
like i said this is the first time i've done these ones so i suppose once i've done them a few times
that'd be okay so i've got to try and push them that down which opens up the little gate inside
and then they should all just push push in but let's try it again
it's gone in
and that looks just like that and then if we've got another one this is on the end of the circuit
i've chosen the easy one to do close up but then we just need to put another one in side by side
so actually it's actually quite nice i think that should all be okay give it a wiggle
that's okay
we then just need to put the clamp on
and that just gives the cable a little bit of support stops it from pulling out
like so and then this box just then clips on
clips on like that and there you have it so we get the light put back in the hole
again we have to be careful these these spring clips because
you don't want to make you want to make sure when you put them in there's
no cables laying either side and that they go in nice and neat just like that
okay here's the last downlight that we've fitted
and so you can see the connections there
so we've got the line CPC in the neutral of one leg and then it's the neutral CPC
and line on the other and it does look quite neat all right i've got all four lights in
there now we haven't put the bezels on yet because now what we need to do if we just look
on this light we've now got these switches here so we just need to set the switches
so they're all all the same light preferably i think we're going to go with the warm white option
so i'm just going to turn the power on
just need to take this
all right that's done these lights on as well
and there they are
so just to show you what the switches do
so if we just operate the switches so we've got the warm white
the cool white and the very blue light
that sounds funny we'll have them though we'll have them on the on the white light okay the last
thing to do is just put the um the white bezel's on just turn them off because you can't see
so again they've just got two little pips and they clip in here and they just twist on
so hold in and just easy as that
