Why Choose Waterproof Downlights?

Superior Waterproof Performance


IP44 or higher rating protects against moisture, rain, and dust, ensuring safe operation in bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor areas, and basements.

Energy Efficiency & Longevity

LED-powered models save 70%+ energy compared to traditional bulbs, with a lifespan of 25,000–50,000 hours.

Versatile Design

Multiple installation types (recessed, surface-mounted, track-mounted) adapt to ceilings, walls, or outdoor landscapes.



How to Choose the Right Waterproof Downlight

Application Recommended Type Key Specifications Pro Tips
Bathrooms & Shower Areas Recessed LED Downlights IP65 (High waterproofing) Install ≥1.5m from showers
Kitchens & Balconies Surface-Mounted LED Lights IP44 (Splash-resistant) Space evenly along edges
Garages & Basements Explosion-Proof Models IP65 + Vibration Resistance Install 10W lights per 4㎡
Outdoor Gardens/Pathways Wall-Mounted/Floor Lights IP67 (Submersion-proof) Pair with solar panels
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Power Off & Safety Check

Turn off the main circuit breaker and use a voltage tester to confirm no live current.

Precise Cutting & Positioning

For recessed lights: Measure carefully (standard cutout sizes: 7.5cm/9cm). Wear goggles when drilling.

Waterproof Wiring

Use waterproof junction boxes and spring-lock waterproof caps—never expose standard electrical tape.

Secure Mounting

Recessed models: Lock spring clips firmly. Surface-mounted: Fix with stainless steel screws. Test before finalizing.

Sealing Optimization

Add silicone gaskets. Tilt outdoor fixtures by 5° to prevent water pooling.

Final Inspection

Run lights for 30 minutes: No flickering. Surface temperature ≤50°C (122°F).

Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Routine Care
Monthly: Clean surfaces with a soft cloth (stubborn stains: 1:3 vinegar-water mix).

Biannually: Check internal condensation and seal elasticity.

Common Issues & Fixes
markdown
- Dimming Light → Replace aging LED drivers (match specs on the label).
- Flickering → Check loose wiring or unstable voltage (install a stabilizer).
- Yellowed Casing → Upgrade to UV-resistant PC covers.
Smart Upgrades & Trends
Motion Sensor Lights: Auto-on/off for hallways/storage areas.

Adjustable Color Temperature: 2700K–6000K tuning for ambiance (ideal for bathrooms).

Voice/App Control: Integrate with Alexa/Google Home for smart home systems.
