Soffit downlighter - any special type?

[davek0974]

Hi all,

We want to fit LED downlighter to our entry soffit box, maybe 4 GU10 style fittings - does this need any special type of fitting?

Will either be using smart LED.s or a smart switch in the supply so it can be controlled from our Philips Hue setup.

Thanks

I'd use at least IPx4 bathroom fittings. Maybe IPx5 or 6, it depends on exposure to wet weather, etc.

Ok thanks, these are pretty well sheltered so will look into the bathroom style fitting.

Ip65 seems the common bathroom type would that be ok?

Sure.
