Installing LED spots

Installing LED spots

installing LED spots are regularly called with questions about installing the LED spots. Now we are happy to talk to people, but for everyone who does not climb into the phone too quickly, you will find below some tips on how to build in our spots.

Installation depth of our installation spots

There seem to be many misunderstandings about the installation depth of LED spots. Traditional lighting such as halogen spots loses a lot of energy due to heat. anyone who has ever replaced a lamp knows how hot a burning lamp can be. LED is much more efficient and stays almost cold.

When you install a halogen spot you must take the heat into account and therefore take into account additional installation space around your fixture to prevent any damage. With LED lighting you already have enough installation space when you keep the size of the fixture, for the simple reason that you do not have to take the heat into account. The only exception is when there is insulation material in the ceiling, then there must be at least 30 mm of free space.

Calculate which recessed spots fit your situation.

Suppose you have a LED lamp with a built-in size of 70MM as many GU10 led recessed spots to have. Then you only need a space of 61MM behind your drywall, since the 9MM thickness of the drywall can be included in the installation depth. Of course, your drywall can be thicker or thinner, but the principle remains the same. If there is isolation material, then you need 91MM of free space.

Lighting zone

Zone 1 - IPx5 IP zones bathroom this is the wettest zone. If you want to place LED lighting in this zone you should think of light in the bath or shower, for example. The spots must always have a minimum of IPx5. The spots must be completely waterproof. These spots may only be connected to 12V and not to the usual 230V. Zone 2 - IPx4 This is the area that falls just outside the shower. Think, for example, above the shower cubicle or around the bath. The lamps that you want to place here should still have a minimum value of IPx4. Our IP44 bathroom spots, for example, are very suitable for this zone. These spots can also simply be connected to 230V. Zone 3 - IPx0 This concerns all other space in a bathroom.
