Luceco FType MK2 CCT Fire Rated LED Downlight (IP65)

In-Depth Look

The Luceco FType MK2 CCT puts four colour temperatures and two power settings into one fire-rated downlight. Electricians can carry one product and set it on site, rather than stocking separate warm white and cool white fittings.

Colour Temperature Selection

A switch on the fitting selects 2700K (extra warm white), 3000K (warm white), 4000K (neutral white) or 6000K (cool white). Set the colour before fitting, as the switch is harder to reach once the light is in the ceiling.

Power Setting

A separate setting selects 4W or 6W. The Amazon listing gives up to 750 lumens, and other listings quote 710 to 750 lumens depending on the colour setting.

Fire Rating and IP65

The Amazon listing says the light has been fire tested in 30, 60 and 90 minute solid timber joist ceilings, and 30 minutes with I-joists. Whether a fitting meets the requirements for a particular ceiling is for the installer to check against Luceco’s data. IP65 means protection against dust and water jets. Check the bathroom zone guidance in the instructions before fitting near a bath or shower.

Installation

The listing describes a tool-free connector with loop-in and loop-out terminals for solid or stranded cable. The cut-out is 76mm, so check existing ceiling holes before buying replacements.

Summary

A flat, IP65, fire-tested LED downlight with four colour temperatures and a 4W or 6W setting, for kitchens, bathrooms and other domestic ceilings.

The Aurora Enlite fire-rated downlight and the Collingwood H2 Lite fire-rated downlight are other fire-rated downlights. Our guides to choosing fire-rated downlights and the LED downlight buying guide give more detail.

Selectable power and colour temperature mean the settings are chosen on the fitting rather than by picking a different product. Read the instructions on how to choose them before you fit the downlight.

Common Questions

What does fire-rated mean on a downlight? It means the downlight is built to keep the fire resistance of the ceiling it sits in. Follow the instructions on how it is installed. A fire rating on the label is not a guarantee of compliance for your ceiling.

What does CCT mean? CCT stands for correlated colour temperature, which describes how warm or cool white light looks. 2700K is warm, 4000K is neutral, and 6000K is cool and bluish. This downlight lets you select between 2700K, 3000K, 4000K and 6000K.

What does IP65 mean? It means protected against dust and water jets. Check the instructions on where the downlight may be used.

What size hole do I cut? The cut-out is 76mm for this model. Check the instructions before you cut.

Can it be dimmed? Yes, it is dimmable. Use a compatible dimmer and follow the instructions.

Where do the 4W and 6W settings come in? The downlight has selectable power, so one fitting covers both settings. Check the instructions for how to select the power and the colour temperature, since the method is set out by the maker.

Electrical work should be done by a competent person. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
