Q. WHEN REPLACING LARGER RECESSED LIGHTS – TUNGSTEN R64, FOR EXAMPLE – DO YOU HAVE A RECESSED DOWNLIGHTER WITH A LARGE DIAMETER TO ENABLE STRAIGHT REPLACEMENT FOR LED?
For the replacement to be a direct one you would need to know the lumen output and spread of light of the luminaire in question. If we take as an example an R64 40-Watt version, this has a lumen output of 380. The Ovia Inceptor Milli downlight is a much more energy efficient option, with a selectable power rating of 4 W or 6.4 W producing a lumen output of 430/480/720/780 dependant on the wattage and CCT selected.
The Inceptor Milli is a dimmable, fixed, fire and acoustic rated LED downlight which is quick and easy to fit and offers a raft of features at the flick of a switch. We’ve just launched a new range of converter plates for the Inceptor Milli standard luminaire which will allow it to be retrofitted into ceilings that have holes bigger than Ø75 mm already cut in them. The Inceptor Milli standard luminaire has a Ø64-75 mm cut-out, and with this new converter plate, the cut-out increases to a maximum size of Ø120 mm, making it ideal as straight replacement for larger downlights.
The converter plates are made from pressed stainless steel and available in five finishes – white, black, chrome, satin chrome and antique brass.
The Inceptor Milli allows you to switch between 6.4 W and 4 W power outputs using a single switch and has the option to switch between the colour temperatures 2700K, 4000K and 6500K. It also has an adjustable insulation support bracket on the back of the luminaire, allowing installation underneath insulation. The luminaires are supplied pre-wired with a Fast-Fit, 3-Pole & Loop Flow connector.
Inceptor Milli has been tested and meets the requirements of TM66 Assured Product Verification Scheme.
