Key Considerations When Choosing Downlights
Key Considerations For Choosing Downlights
JH Market sells products that are specifically designed for the unique Australian market. So you can be ensured that our electronics are built to last through the extreme and harsh climate of Australia.
Our products have been put through rigorous testing and underwent strict quality assurance procedures during the manufacturing process and in our specialised test lab in Altona, Victoria.
What Makes JH Downlights Special?
JH Market downlights are better and more stable in distributing heat from their LED chips compared to other brands.
Good heat distribution is one of the important factors that affect a downlight’s longevity. The longer your downlights work, the less time you waste replacing them in the future.
Our downlights are also IC-4 rated, like our 12W All-in-1 Downlight Tricolour Fire Rated. These lights can be safely placed next to normally flammable materials in both commercial and residential settings. They are also IP44-rated so they’re a great choice for places that have water splashes or dust emissions, like bathrooms and kitchens.
Here are some other important qualities when choosing downlights that you will find across the JH Market downlight range:
Material of outer shell/housing
JinHang and Lite Lighting downlights weigh 210g. Meanwhile, other brands like Verbatim Lighting, their downlights weigh less than 200g. This is because JinHang and Lite Lighting are manufactured from high-quality PVC materials.
PVC is one of the best thermal insulators. It can resist sunlight and heat weathering, making it a great choice for the harsh weather in Australia.
JinHang and Lite Lighting LED downlights like our 12W All in 1 Downlight Tricolour Fire Rated downlights weigh more but last longer and are more capable of dealing with heat coming from the bulbs.
The long lifespan of LED downlights is extremely helpful if you installed them on high ceilings that are hard to reach. Replacing these bulbs will be few and far between.
Heat-conducting gel
JH Market LED downlights have sufficient heat-conducting gel, while other brands don’t.
Liquid thermal gels are designed to help effectively manage heat in electronics, improving performance and overall reliability.
LED lights are designed to withstand temperatures as high as 85°C (185°F) without having any negative effects on their reliability and longevity.
But, if these LED lights are left running in an enclosed space without any ventilation, these bulbs can heat up. Particularly during summers in Australia, where average daily temperatures can reach 35 °C (95 °F)
JinHang and Lite Lighting downlights have glued enough heat-conducting gel inside the aluminium base to improve the lights’ heat distribution. This is compared to other brands that don’t have as much gel attached to the bulbs.
Some brands are far from an IC-4 rating, but they mark their products as being IC-4 rated.
The JinHang 10W LED Downlight Tricolour 90mm is IC-4 rated, so they can be safely installed in residential and commercial spaces in Australia and New Zealand.
One-piece vs detachable body
JH Market downlights, like our Lite Lighting 7W LED Downlight Tricolour 70mm, are designed with a detachable body. Other brands come in a one-piece casing.
Having a detachable body adds an extra layer of PVC between the LED chip and the power module.
Meanwhile, a one-piece casing has every component in one single cup, while their aluminium base is not as integrated into the downlight’s body.
A downlight with a detachable body can deal with heat better, which is one of the most critical factors that affect a downlight's actual working hours.
Reflector cup depth
JinHang and Lite Lighting downlights have a deeper reflector depth than other brands, so they’re able to produce a more uniform light output.
Our downlights, like the 10W LED Downlight Tricolour 90mm can also produce various colours like 3000K Warm White, 4000K Neutral White or 6000K Daylight to perfectly suit any space.
This uniform light output may not be detectable to the human eye, but the subtle difference can make a world of difference to your customers.
JH Market has the lowest price guarantee so you can buy LED downlights risk-free. You can save money on your lighting needs while installing high-quality products.
We cut off the middleman by working directly with the manufacturers to trade, which means that the price increases are absorbed before reaching sparkies. We don’t compromise on quality, features, or warranty.
Avoid electrical trade price increases and shop smart with JH Market Downlights.
