Collingwood Borealis LED Batten Fittings

A narrow beam angle of 25 degrees will provide a more focused and intense light. Ideal for illuminating specific objects like picture frames on a track lighting system.

A medium beam angle of 40 degrees will provide an even spread of light with a decent intensity. Ideal for smaller rooms like bathrooms.

A wider 60 degree beam can allow you to space downlights further apart, especially when you've got brighter LEDs. Wider downlight distances = fewer downlights which saves money especially in larger rooms like lounges.

CRI stands for Colour Rendering Index. It is a measurement of how well a light source renders the true colour of an object compared to natural light. 

Rated out of 100, with daylight scoring a perfect 100. A light with 90 CRI and above is classed as being high CRI, while 80 CRI is the standard rating for LED lighting.

IP (International or Ingress Protection) defines a products level of resistance to dust and moisture. The first digit is for dust and the second digit is for moisture.

An IP65 rating offers a high resistance to moisture and is popular rating for outdoor lighting and electrical enclosures.

IP65 is usually specified for bathroom downlights but according to the Building Regulations, IP44 provides adequate protection for zones 1 & 2.

Some LED light fittings require an additional LED driver. This can be identified when the input type is anything other than Mains Voltage 230V AC.

Small LED light fittings usually operate on lower voltages as they're safer to run and you can use one LED driver to power multiple lights.

If the input type is 12V or 24V DC, a constant voltage LED driver is required. These are wired in parallel.

If the input type is 350mA or 700mA, a constant current LED driver is required. These are wired in series. It can be easier to wire LED ground lights in series as the power flows in one direction and doesn't need to loop back around.

Each color temperature has its unique ambiance and use cases. When choosing LED lighting, it's important to consider the mood and functionality you want to achieve in each room or space.

AC standards for alternating current and DC standards for direct current.

Mains voltage is 230V AC and has a tolerance of 10%, some products are 220V or 240V AC which means they can be classed as mains voltage.

DC voltages usually require an LED driver to convert the mains voltage AC into low voltage DC. Popular DC voltages are 12V or 24V DC.
