Most of our ceiling lights can be wall mounted. It is not recommended in the case of heavy layered-glass ceiling lights, such as Duplex. If a ceiling light is mounted on the wall, the lampholder must be positioned at the bottom of the product, so that heat generated rises away from the lampholder.

We recommend that plaster lights are sprayed rather than painted in order to avoid the brush stroke marks. Ceramics can be painted normally.

If the light fitting has one of the following lampholders (GU10, G9, E27 and E14), and you are not using a fluorescent/compact fluorescent bulb, then it can be dimmed using a standard wall dimmer-switch. Some fluorescent/compact fluorescent bulbs (usually ones fitting an E14 or E27 lampholder) can be dimmed - check what it says on the bulb packaging.

Generally speaking, there is no problem dimming low-voltage lights, but check that the transformer you are using is suitable. The transformer that Astro supplies is suitable to be dimmed using an ordinary wall dimmer switch.

In the UK, there are building standards that require either a fire-rated downlight to be used, or alternatively, you can fit an ordinary non fire-rated downlight, but used in conjunction with a proprietory fire-hood. Even though the standards do not require this in every instance, most electricians prefer to use one or other of these in all instances.

All of our products are designed to run on standard European voltage of 230v. The main exceptions to 230v are in the American continent and Japan, where 110v is the norm. Whilst our mains-voltage lights will run on a 110v supply, there may be conflicts with the bulbs that are available locally. Our low-voltage, LED or low-energy lights will not work on a 110v supply.

No, your shaver/electric tootbrush will charge even when the light is switched off.

The shaver sockets in our products are all separated from the mains by a safety isolating transformer. As a result, they are suitable only for electric shavers and toothbrushes, including re-chargeable versions of these. They are not suitable for higher power appliances, such as hair dryers.

We supply separate transformers and LED drivers for all products that require them. Please refer to the accessories page of our website or the catalogue to find out more information.

Our lights are showcased by a number of different stockists across the country, to find one nearest to you use our 'Where to Buy' tool.
