I'm going a little crazy here, so hopefully can put me straight. Planning a house refurb, and just picking the downlights we want. Dimmable is very important for me, but my understanding was that it is the bulb, not the fitting, that determines whether a light is dimmable or not.
But looking at the tech specs of the fixtures below, the first says not dimmable, the second says it is. Other specs are very similar, both 240v, GU10, the first 11W, the 2nd 10W and insulation covered. It wouldn't bother me at all if the second one wasn't considerably more expensive, as in all other aspects the lights are close enough to identical for my tastes (slight size differences).
As an extra question, the 1st one is specified as Part L1 compliant. The 2nd isn't, but safe to assume it is?
Any help would be much appreciated?! Thanks!
