Description

The Knightsbridge RD1B is a fixed GU10 recessed downlight with a brass die-cast aluminium bezel and a twist-lock fitting mechanism. The fitting is pre-wired with a GU10 lamp holder rated for 230V mains, accepting halogen or LED GU10 bulbs up to 50W. The 79mm diameter bezel sits 2mm proud of the ceiling surface once installed, with the lamp recessed 90mm into the ceiling void.

Designed for residential and commercial installation in living rooms, hallways, kitchens and bedrooms where task or accent lighting is needed, the downlight requires a 70mm cut-out diameter and a minimum 140mm void depth above the ceiling. The twist-lock mechanism allows the lamp holder assembly to be rotated into position and locked into the ceiling aperture without screws or additional fixings, simplifying installation and lamp replacement.

The brass finish provides a warm metallic accent that pairs well with traditional, classical and warm-toned interiors. The die-cast aluminium construction provides durability and heat dissipation for halogen lamps, though most current installations use LED GU10 bulbs for lower energy consumption and cooler running. The IP20 rating makes the fitting suitable for dry indoor locations but not bathrooms or outdoor use. Dimming capability depends on the specific GU10 bulb installed.

Frequently Asked

What ceiling void depth is needed?

A minimum 140mm void depth above the ceiling surface is required to accommodate the 90mm recessed depth of the lamp holder assembly plus clearance for heat dissipation and wiring.

Is this dimmable?

Dimming depends on the GU10 bulb installed. Most dimmable LED GU10 bulbs work with trailing-edge dimmers, but check the specific bulb packaging for compatibility before pairing with a dimmer switch.

Can this be used in bathrooms?

No. The IP20 rating means the fitting is suitable for dry indoor locations only. Bathrooms require IP44 or IP65 rated fittings depending on the zone.

What bulb does it take?

The fitting accepts standard GU10 bulbs up to 50W. The specification table mentions an MR16 lamp holder, but the primary fitting is GU10 on 230V mains. Most users install 4-7W LED GU10 bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K). Bulbs are sold separately.
