Description
This is the working half of a crystal downlight: lampholder and retaining ring finished in polished chrome, made to pair with the crystal rims in the same range. It is sized for a 62mm cut-out and takes a GU10 lamp, with an LED reflector of 50mm the sensible choice. Dimming is possible, provided the lamp you fit is a dimmable one. The parts are light in the hand and small in the box, which is what you would expect of a component rather than a finished fitting.
It suits anyone who has settled on a decorative crystal rim and needs the electrical part to go with it, and it is just as useful as a spare where an older kit has given up. We would pair the two in a hallway, a dressing room or above a bedroom recess, where a small aperture and a little sparkle do more than a plain white trim ever could. Being rated for dry rooms only, it belongs in living spaces rather than shower zones or anywhere open to the weather.
The chrome is bright and mirror-like, so it reads best alongside the clear and coloured crystal rims rather than competing with them. Holder and ring come as one assembly, so there is nothing else to source beyond the rim and the lamp itself. Keep the plating looking right with an occasional pass of a soft dry cloth, on a fitting that is cold and switched off, and leave sprays and creams well alone, since they dull polished surfaces over time. We hold the same kit in satin black, aged brass and French gold if the rim you have chosen calls for something warmer or darker, and the rims themselves run from round and square bubble styles to chamfered and cluster designs. It carries a one year warranty. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size cut-out does this kit suit?
It is made for a 62mm cut-out, the same size as the crystal rims in this range.
Which lamp should I use with it?
A GU10 lamp, and we would choose an LED reflector of 50mm rated up to 10W.
Can the light be dimmed?
Yes, as long as the GU10 lamp you fit is a dimmable type and it is paired with a suitable dimmer. No dimmer comes with the kit.
Do I need to buy a crystal rim separately?
Yes. This kit supplies the lampholder and retaining ring only; the crystal rim is bought to suit, in round, square, chamfered, bubble or cluster styles.
How should I clean the polished chrome?
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth when the fitting is switched off and cold, and avoid polishes or cream cleaners, which take the shine off plating.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms, so keep it away from shower and bath zones.
