Philips LED Impala Recessed Spot Light 2200 - 2700K [Warm Glow Dimmable - Black] For Indoor Lighting, Bedroom, Bathroom

I bought these for my bathroom as I was fed up with changing fiddly light bulbs. I fitted them myself which was sort of straightforward. They have a clip in gadget for wires instead of the block where you screw wires into. I found this very awkward to do and the wires wouldn’t stay in, so I ended up changing the fitting. Not ideal but it gave me peace of mind. The lights are lovely and bright and hardly use any electricity, a bonus considering my old halogen ones used lots. I can’t comment on the dimmable function but looking at other reviews the lights give an orange/red glow.

The Philips LED Impala Recessed Spot Light was supplied in a retail box , which when opened reveals the white light unit with it’s attached trailing tail cable that terminates in a covered terminal block inside a plastic covering junction box. I wanted this for the cloakroom as we have recently installed shelves that go to within 8 inches of the ceiling, so a normal fitting would hang over the top shelf. When I saw this was available I ordered it and have since installed it and like the result. The installation was very easy, after isolating the power to the lower floor lighting and then testing it to ensure it was off, I cut out the hole size needed for the light unit body. Following this, the two cables that came from the ceiling were terminated into the terminal block supplied and the cover clipped closed. I then restored the lower floor lighting power to tested it before it was mounted into the ceiling – all good so power once again isolated. I then folded the wings of the light unit back and pushed the unit body into the hole where the wings snap back onto the plaster in the ceiling. After restoring the lower floor lighting power I tested it and once again all was well. Whilst I am not using it in the dimmable form, this is a nice bright light for the cloakroom and does the job well. It is a robust and well made product from a reliable name in the electronics and electrics world and should last a long time. The one downside here is that the LED bulb is not changeable so the whole fitting will have to be replaced when the LED does reach end of life.

These lights are brighter than standard spot lights, look very smart and turn orange/red when dimmed. Excellent!

Easy to assemble and lovely bright, good quality, works great, so far so good no issues.

Nice light for a dark corner or just anywhere suitable ( I would buy a few at one time so can put up together saving time and mess) Easily dimmer able bulb can not be changed but mine still going strong Always ask a fully qualified electrician to install one As not a straight forward fix plus you want to be sure it's fitted correctly Price for one maybe a be high Small but mighty

Unlike many other cheaper downlighters, the Philps Impala comes with some extras that set it apart from the rest. It's heavier, with the superior build quality. The light is also set in a single axle gimble so that you can position the beam at an angle rather than having it point directly downwards. The downlighter also has a proper secure and insulated connector at the end of the short connection lead. Others simply have bare wires that you need to use your own connectors with. When fitting a downlighter, the last thing you want is to need to replace it, as they are difficult to access once fitted. The Philips LEDs are premium quality and not likely to fail like cheaper versions. The light quality has a high CRI and illuminates colours very well at full power. When the light is dimmed it gradually gets warmer/ more yellowy and finally at the dimmest point seems to be a dull orange. Great for mood settings at low light levels or bright enough for working at full power. I can warmly recommend these spot/ downlighters. Suitable for general living room lighting or illuminating pictures on a wall, due to the angle adjustment and variable colour dimming.

A great dimmable recessed spot light from Philips. Good build quality and wires are finished off with a good insulated terminal block for added safety. The bulb housing can be tilted allowing the beam to be directed away from the vertical. For a 6W bulb it produces a lot of light at full beam, and as it is dimmed it becomes more orange, or warmer. A good quality recessed light.

I have always chosen Philips for my LED bulbs, they always feel quality built over other brands. This is a recessed spotlight, first thing to note is this isn't a changeable bulb. I'm not convinced with the environmental credentials of light fittings where the bulb cannot be changed but there is a surge at the moment. I am guessing Philips have figured by the time it is end of life, you would have redecorated. Anyway.... The unit fits into a standard 68-78mm hole and has everything built in. Much better than my spring loaded cover, metal strip with bulb holder affair. I swapped out one of my existing spots, pushed this into the hole and the grippers locked nicely into place. The connector isn't a standard choc-block, you press on the connector to open it and push the wires in. Thing is, the wire has to be relatively thin and long to lock in. It took me ages faffing on before I realised it couldn't grip it. Much prefer the old-style way of doing things. Plugged it in and tested. The light is lovely and warm. It also allows for tilting on one axis. The price isn't bad, once I've got some stamina to fiddle with the wiring I may get some more.

Zigbee-Einbindung nicht möglich wie in den Produktdetails angegeben!

Ein Spot schon nach 1 Woche geschwächelt! Außerdem ist es sinnlos wenn man max. 3 bestellen kann (hätte 8 für gebraucht).Aber in dem Fall zum Glück und am Ende auf andere zurückgegriffen wo die Anzahl keine Rolle spielt.
