A Fire Rated Downlight Built for Bathroom Ceilings
The Burford is a fire rated recessed downlight in black, designed for bathrooms where a discreet, weatherproof ceiling spotlight is needed.
Materials and Finish
Made from mild steel and plastic, finished in black.
How It Works
It takes a single GU10 LED bulb of up to 10W (not supplied) and works with dimmable LED bulbs via a suitable rotary dimmer switch. It's fire rated for use in a ceiling void. The fitting is wired to Class II, so it's double insulated, though it's still a hardwired mains fixture.
Where It Works Best
Rated IP65, this recessed downlight is built for bathrooms. UK bathrooms are divided into zones with different minimum IP rating requirements depending on proximity to water, so it's worth checking bathroom lighting zones and regulations before ordering to confirm it suits your zone.

Questions People Ask
What bulb does the Burford take?
It takes a single GU10 LED bulb rated up to 10W. The bulb isn't included, so you'll need to buy one separately.
Can I fit this in my bathroom?
Yes. It's rated IP65, which covers protection against dust and water jets. UK bathrooms are split into zones with different minimum IP requirements, so check which zone you're fitting into before you buy.
Is the Burford dimmable?
Yes, as long as you fit a dimmable LED bulb and pair it with a compatible rotary dimmer switch.
Is it fire rated?
Yes. The Burford is fire rated for installation in a ceiling void, which many UK homes need for downlights fitted where insulation sits above the ceiling.
Do I need an electrician to fit it?
This is a hardwired mains fixture, so we recommend having it installed by a registered NICEIC electrician even though it's wired to Class II double insulated standard.
