When specifying the spring mechanism for an LED downlight, several key parameters must be considered to ensure proper functionality and compatibility. Heres a concise specification:
Dimensions
Tension and Load
Compatibility
Ceiling Cutout Size: Ensure the springs are designed for the downlights recommended cutout size, usually between 65mm to 120mm
Ceiling Thickness: Suitable for standard ceiling thicknesses, typically 5mm to 20mm
Installation and Safety
Installation Method: Compress and insert method for torsion springs; push-up and release for spring clips
Safety Features: Springs should be designed to avoid sharp edges and provide safe handling during installation
Durability and Compliance
Corrosion Resistance: Springs should be resistant to corrosion, especially if installed in damp or coastal environments
Compliance: Meet relevant industry standards and safety regulations
