User Instructions
Thank you for selecting this product. It has been thoughtfully designed and
carefully manufactured to ensure a high level of reliability and performance.
We strongly recommend that spotlights are installed by a qualified
electrician. If, however, you decide to carry out your own installation,
please read through these instructions carefully before commencing work, and
retain them for future reference. Please note, the important safeguards and
instructions appearing in this leaflet are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common
sense, caution, and care are factors that cannot be built into any product and
must be supplied by the person installing and caring for the fitting.
Changes to Building Regulations
As of 1 January 2005, changes to the Building Regulations affect domestic
electrical installations in England and Wales. You don’t need to be a
qualified electrician to make changes to your home’s electrical system, but
the work must be done in accordance with the standards in the Regulations. You
do not need to notify your Local Authority if you do minor electrical work
such as:-
- replacing or repairing a socket, light or cable in any room
- adding extra spurs, sockets or lights to an existing circuit (except in a kitchen, bathroom or outdoors)
However, the work must be done to the standards in the Wiring Regulations and you should consider having the work checked by a competent electrician to make sure it is safe. Before you start other electrical work such as:-
- adding new circuits to your existing installation
- any work (other than repairs/replacements) in a room where there is water (eg. kitchen, bathroom, etc.)
- any work (other than repairs/replacements) outdoors (eg. installing garden lighting or sockets, etc.)
You must notify your Local Authority Building Control Department, which has the responsibility for ensuring the work is inspected and tested. Where you have any work done by an electrician who is a member of a competent person self-certification scheme, the electrician will be able to certify the work complies with the Regulations and you do not need to notify your Local Authority. We recommend that you make yourself aware of the Regulations before you undertake any work and if you require any clarification you should contact your Local Authority Building Control Department.

Fixing instructions for ceiling fittings
All ceiling fittings and wall lights must be connected to the supply earth. If
your lighting circuit does not have an earth, ask a qualified electrician to
provide an earth facility. Make sure that there is a joist or other solid
mounting at the point of fixing. This is necessary to take the weight of the
fitting.
Ceiling cup with strap…
- Taking care not to damage any house wiring, detach the mounting strap from the fitting and affix to the ceiling using the screws supplied. These screws should penetrate the joist by at least 2cm. Using the connector block supplied, connect the wires as shown on the diagram opposite. Check that you have correctly identified the house wires, that all connections are tight and that no loose strands have been left out of the connection blocks.
- Offer the ceiling cup up to the mounting strap and secure in place using the screws/washers.
