Frequently asked questions
Can the Carina downlight replace older PL lamp downlights?
Yes. Carina is designed as a cost and energy efficient replacement for older PL lamp downlights, giving contractors an LED upgrade path for existing compact fluorescent fittings. It is designed to reduce glare compared with older lamp technology while delivering good thermal control. This makes it a practical retrofit option for wholesalers supplying replacement stock for refurbishment work.
What size and wattage range does Carina cover?
Carina is available in four sizes with wattages of 12W, 15W, 18W, or 23W, and in two colour temperatures, 3000K or 4000K. This range allows one product family to suit a variety of room sizes and applications on the same project. An extension ring accessory is available for the largest 23W cutout size.
Does Carina support dimming or emergency lighting?
Carina can be specified with dimming options, including mains, DALI, 0-10V, or DSI dimming, as well as an emergency lighting version. This gives specifiers the flexibility to use the same downlight family in both standard and emergency circuits, or where lighting control is required. These options are selected at order stage alongside size and colour temperature.
How does Carina manage heat and glare?
Carina is built to deliver good thermal control alongside reduced glare compared with the PL lamp fittings it is designed to replace. Good thermal management supports the stated operating life and lumen maintenance of the fitting over time. This combination of thermal control and glare reduction is presented as a core benefit of upgrading from older lamp-based downlights.
How does Carina compare to Neptune for PL lamp replacement work?
Carina and Neptune are both designed to replace older PL lamp downlights, but Carina is rated IP20 and focuses on dimming and emergency lighting options across its four sizes, while Neptune is rated IP65 and offers a choice of four magnetic reflector finishes. Carina is generally the better fit where lighting control or emergency provision is the priority, while Neptune suits areas needing moisture resistance or a specific decorative reflector finish. Both are supplied with a 5 year warranty.
