17.5W CCT Adjustable Emergency Bulkhead Gear Tray - 3000K-6000K

A gear tray is the working half of a bulkhead: one circular board carrying the LEDs and the control gear, so a tired fitting can be brought back to life without taking the body off the wall. This one draws 17.5W and gives 1,725 lumens, and its colour temperature is chosen rather than fixed. The pack names three settings, 3000K, 4000K and 6000K, which is warm white, neutral white and daylight white in that order. The light spreads across 120 degrees, the wide even wash a bulkhead is made for rather than a tight pool.

Trays like this earn their keep in the places a bulkhead already lives: corridors and stairwells in flats, garages, utility rooms, workshops, plant rooms and back entrances. This is the emergency version, so it belongs where the light has to stay on when the mains drops out. The colour choice matters more than it sounds in those spots. 3000K keeps a communal hallway feeling domestic, 4000K is the usual choice for a garage or a store where you want to read a label, and 6000K is the crisp white of a workshop bench. The setting is made at the tray as it goes in, not from the wall switch afterwards.

It is not dimmable, so plan for a plain switched circuit; the spec is clear on that point. The supply is 220-240V. The pack states a 35,000 hour product life. The manufacturer does not publish a diameter or fixing centres, so measure the tray you are removing before you order, and it states no IP rating for the tray, which means treating it as indoor use in a dry position. Each one is sold as a single tray with a minimum order of one, and our range also holds 8W and 15W CCT adjustable gear trays alongside white bulkhead bodies.

Will this tray fit the bulkhead I already have?

The manufacturer does not publish a diameter or fixing centres, so measure the board you are taking out, including the screw positions and where the supply lead enters, before you order.

How do I choose between 3000K, 4000K and 6000K?

3000K is a soft domestic white for hallways and landings, 4000K a neutral white for garages and stores, and 6000K a cold bright white for workshops and plant rooms.

Can it be run from a dimmer switch?

No. The tray is listed as non-dimmable, so wire it to a plain switched circuit; a dimmer on a non-dimmable board can cause flicker or stop it starting cleanly.

What does the emergency version add?

It is the emergency build of this tray rather than the standard one. The backup duration and whether cells are supplied are not stated, so check the detail against the requirement you are meeting.

Is an IP rating given for the tray?

The manufacturer states none, so we quote none. Treat the tray as indoor use in a dry position, and check the rating of the bulkhead body it is fitted into.

How much light is 1,725 lumens?

Enough to serve a small corridor, a single garage or a landing on its own, and with a 120 degree spread it lands evenly across the ceiling rather than in one bright pool.
