the v50 recessed fire rated led downlight from JCC lighting proves that even the most common electrical items
can still be innovative and interesting so what are some of the key features and benefits that
make this fitting stand out from the crowd well the first thing that's going to strike you about
this down light is that it is incredibly compact in fact it will fit into a ceiling with a tiny
50mm clearance space meaning that it's perfect if you've got maybe a flat roof extension or say
a concrete structure with a shallow void between plasterboard and concrete the installed fitting
can have the aluminium bezel changed really easily all you've got to do is just twist the bezel off
like so and then install the new one this means that the style and color of the downlight can
be modified without having to change the whole fitting and it can be temporarily removed when
painting to avoid splattering the bezel so if the room gets redecorated the finish on the bezel can
change without changing the whole down light this bezel is available in chrome white brushed nickel
brushed brass and black options now speaking of removing bezels and changing colours another great
feature with the v50 is the ability to change the colour temperature without removing the fitting
from the ceiling under the bezel there's this switch here that can change the colour temperature
from a warm 3000 kelvin to a cool 4000 kelvin like so the switch is covered by a silicon gasket
that ensures IP65 protection is maintained what else makes it appealing to the end user
well it's dimmable as standard with a wide range of dimmers a full list of
which is available on the jcc website and the fitting comes with a 5 year warranty
also it has an efficacy of up to 87 lumens per circuit watt now I'm sure most end users would not
have the first clue what that means perhaps better to say that it's enormously efficient with huge
savings to be made in energy and lifetime running costs against traditional technologies but what
about the electrician doing the installation work what features make it easier for them
well it's rated ip65 meaning it can be used in zones one and two in a bath or shower room it has
a nice wide beam angle of 60 degrees meaning it will give a really broad spread of light
another reassuring thing about this fitting is that the v50 has been tested for use in solid
eye joist and steel open web joist ceiling construction types and it adheres to part b
c and e of the building regulations for the latest certification details for pre-manufacturers you're
best off going over to the jcc website and check their product pages now if you'd like
any further information on eye joists and recessed lighting then please check out our other videos on
this subject finally the thing that i really love from an installation point of view is the ease of
making connections first of all the driver comes separated from the luminaire which means that it's
not swinging about and whacking into stuff while you're making the connections in the driver here
then the terminals as you can see are clearly marked we go in on the left and out on the
right and these terminals are push fit which makes terminating absolutely rapid as you can
see here so all you've got to do is just grab your conductors obviously you'll have them pre-stripped
and then all you've got to do is just push them in into the right places line cpc and neutral give
them a push and that's that connected and then the outgoing cable we'll put in this side once again
neutral cpc and live just give those a push and that is those connected and once the connections
are made you don't need to have futile around with tiny screws into cable retention the lid has these
little teeth on them here that grip the outer sheath of the cable and then the lid just simply
snaps closed and can be done up incrementally to suit the thickness of cable sheath depending
on whether you're using one millimeter squared or 1.5 millimeter squared and that's the termination
done then it's just a matter of hooking the driver into the luminaire and you're good to go
the v50 is available not only in the standard form that you can see here but there's also a
tiltable option available as well so with all these innovations in such a simple product we
can really see that jcc are lighting the way ahead for the electrical industry as always we'd like to
hear from you so please comment your thoughts on recessed lighting below and we'll enjoy
reading those all that remains in this video is to say thank you very much for watching you
