Introducing Luceco Lighting's revolutionary new family of FType fire-rated downlights
Shyel Stark, Senior Product Manager at Luceco Lighting, part of Luceco Group, introduces the new FType family of LED fire-rated downlights, which are set to develop new trends for contractors and the downlight market.
FType Essence, FType Mk2 and FType Ultra. These cutting-edge downlights are designed and engineered in the UK to set a new standard of lighting performance and functionality, with the latest advancements in LED technology. Luceco Lighting is proud to be the first to market with what will become new, trend-setting, innovative features, including the new Dim2Warm CCT, QuickView Cable Window, and the Easy Access ClipFit connector.
At the core of every product in the FType family lies a set of standard features that immediately levels up this range.
- QuickView Cable Window: This feature enables easy inspection of wire connections, even after cables are secured in place. This provides the contractor with added safety and reassurance that the connection is secure.
- Trade-rated toolless SpeedFit Connector: Say goodbye to complicated installations. Innovative loop-in/out piano key terminals allow effortless connection with both solid and stranded cables, minimising installation time.
- Super slim flat or regressed removable bezels: Compared to many competitors, the new FType boasts a super slim bezel design, offering a refined and discreet finish, that seamlessly blends into ceilings and complements any interior décor.
Dim2Warm CCT and 4CCT Colour Change
Completely new to the global lighting market, Dim2Warm CCT versions are colour selectable via a switch between 3000K and 4000K. However, unlike any other, when set to 3000K and installed on a dimmer switch, Dim2Warm mode is unlocked. Dim2Warm technology allows the downlight to adjust to a warmer colour temperature output when dimmed, creating that cosy, ambient effect delivered by filament and halogen, but lost with LED technology.
Alternatively, opt for the 4 colour CCT version, which offers a choice of 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, and 6000K with a flick of a switch, enabling rooms to be fully customised based on lighting preferences and preferred colour temperature.
FType Essence
If the project budget is a priority, FType Essence is the perfect choice for fire-rated LED downlights. These low-profile downlights strike the ideal balance between functionality, design, and performance. With LENLEN terminals and trade-rated SpeedFit housing design, installation becomes a breeze and upgrading to downlights becomes affordable. Available in 3000K or 4000K light outputs and a range of bezel colours, Essence downlights deliver maximum performance at a cost-effective price, making them ideal for any application, including bathrooms and shallow ceiling voids. And with a 3-year warranty, you can trust in their quality and durability. Find out more about FType Essence.
