Knightsbridge SpektroLED Evo SPKEVFPIR 7W PIR Fire-Rated LED Downlight – IP65, 4 CCT, White

Product Description

The Knightsbridge SpektroLED Evo SPKEVFPIR is a 7W fixed, fire-rated LED downlight with a built-in PIR motion sensor and four selectable colour temperatures. Designed for efficient, automatic lighting control, it combines motion-activated operation, fire-rated construction and versatile lighting options in one compact recessed fitting.

Ideal for bathrooms, hallways, corridors, utility rooms and other indoor spaces, the SpektroLED Evo automatically detects movement and operates according to its adjustable PIR settings. This makes it a practical choice for areas where convenient, hands-free lighting is required.

The integrated 4 CCT selector allows you to choose between 2700K extra warm white, 3000K warm white, 4000K cool white and 6000K daylight white. Both the colour temperature switch and PIR sensor adjustments are accessible beneath the removable magnetic bezel, allowing settings to be changed after installation.

With an IP65 rating from below and IP20 from above, the fitting is suitable for appropriately specified dry and wet indoor locations, including suitable bathroom installations.

The SPKEVFPIR is fire-rated for 30, 60 and 90 minutes in specified solid timber joist constructions, and 30 minutes in specified web joist and I-joist constructions. It is also insulation-contact (IC) rated and acoustically rated to ISO 10140-2:2010.

Designed with installers in mind, the downlight features 230V direct connection and a plug-in male-and-female connector system with loop-in/loop-out functionality. This allows the electrical connections to be prepared during first fix, with the downlight connected and installed after decoration.

The compact fitting requires a 70mm ceiling cut-out, has a 43mm recessed depth and requires a minimum 50mm ceiling void.

Supplied with a white magnetic bezel and backed by a 7-year manufacturer warranty, the Knightsbridge SpektroLED Evo SPKEVFPIR offers a convenient solution for energy-efficient, motion-activated recessed lighting.

Please note: This downlight is not dimmable.

Built-In PIR Motion Sensor

The SpektroLED Evo SPKEVFPIR incorporates a passive infrared (PIR) sensor that detects movement and activates the light according to the selected settings.

This is particularly useful for locations where lighting is required intermittently, helping reduce unnecessary operation when areas are unoccupied.

The sensor settings are accessible after installation by removing the magnetic bezel.

Adjustable PIR Settings

The hold-on time determines how long the light remains illuminated following the relevant motion-detection event, while the ambient light threshold allows operation to be adjusted according to surrounding light levels.

Actual detection performance will depend on installation height, movement direction and environmental conditions.

Four Selectable Colour Temperatures

The Knightsbridge SPKEVFPIR features an integrated CCT selector, allowing you to choose the most appropriate white light for your space.

The 2700K and 3000K settings provide a warmer, softer appearance suitable for welcoming residential interiors.

The 4000K setting provides a neutral, functional white light and delivers the highest stated luminaire output of 745 lumens.

The 6000K setting offers a crisp daylight-white appearance, suitable for utility spaces and other areas where cooler white lighting is preferred.

The CCT selector is accessible beneath the magnetic bezel, so the colour temperature can be adjusted without removing the complete downlight from the ceiling.

Fire-Rated Recessed Downlight

The SPKEVFPIR is designed for installation in appropriately specified fire-rated ceiling constructions.

Its stated fire-resistance performance includes:

• 30, 60 and 90 minutes in specified solid timber joist constructions
• 30 minutes in specified web joist constructions
• 30 minutes in specified I-joist constructions

Fire resistance depends on the complete ceiling construction and installation method. The fitting must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's fire-test documentation and instructions.

IP65 Bathroom Downlight

The SpektroLED Evo SPKEVFPIR provides IP65 protection from below and IP20 protection from above.

This makes it suitable for appropriately specified indoor installations where protection against water exposure is required at the visible face of the fitting.

For bathroom installations, suitability must be assessed according to the relevant electrical installation zones and BS 7671 requirements.

Installer-Friendly First- and Second-Fix Connection

The Knightsbridge SpektroLED Evo range incorporates a male-and-female plug-in connector system designed to simplify installation and maintenance.

The connectors support loop-in/loop-out wiring, allowing electrical connections to be completed during first fix.

The downlight can then be plugged in and installed after ceiling decoration, helping reduce handling during finishing work.

The same connector arrangement allows the luminaire to be disconnected for maintenance.

The fitting operates directly from a 230V, 50Hz supply.

Compact Fixed Downlight Design

The SPKEVFPIR has a compact recessed profile with a white pressed-steel body and removable magnetic bezel.

Its fixed design provides a neat ceiling appearance, while the accessible sensor and CCT controls allow adjustments after installation.
