What Is An IP Rating On A Light Fitting
The first digit refers to the product’s ability to withstand solid objects (i.e. dust and insects) on a scale of 1-6 and the second digit refers to ability to withstand water on a scale of 1-8.

Constant Current LED Drivers vs. Constant Voltage LED Drivers
First, you must understand how each of these works. A constant current driver varies the voltage across the electronic circuit in order to keep and maintain a constant electrical current. This makes sure that no matter the change in voltage, the current driven to the LEDs will remain at a steady, desired level. On the other side, constant voltage drivers have a fixed voltage, as their name implies. Most constant voltage drivers will supply a fixed voltage at 12VDC or 24VDC.
What Are Lumens
Lumens (lm) are a measure of the visible light produced by a light source. The higher the lumen rating, the brighter it will be. Lumens are a good way to compare LED light output with other light sources.
Are LED Downlights Dimmable
Yes, however their ability to do so is dependent on the driver that the individual fitting uses. Boardwalk Fans & Lighting includes dimmable drivers with most of their downlight brands, but it is not a standard inclusion on all products
What Does The Rating Mean On My LED Downlights
Most LED Downlights are classified with a CA, IC or IC-F rating. CA classifications allow insulation to side abutt the downlight and IC allows it to cover the downlight. Please refer to the manufacturers installation instructions to clarify the rating on your downlights
What Is CRI
Colour Rendering Index measures the ability of a light source to faithfully reproduce the colour of various objects. The closer it is to 100, the higher the quality of the light source.
Why Are LED Wattages Lower Than Normal halogen
LED lights operate by converting energy to light. Whereas traditional light sources convert energy to heat in order to produce light, making LED more efficient. It also means that LED’s are not as hot to touch as traditional Incandescent or Halogen types
