About to finally start my bathroom refurb and trying to confirm choices for various bits and pieces, which downlights to get being one of them.
My only really requirement is I want them to be 240v/GU10 and Alexa-controllable (via my existing Hue Bridge) so I figure using Philips Hue GU10 bulbs will take care of that. Obviously bathroom ones (at least over the bath/shower) need to be IP65 but other than that there just seems to be a huge choice varying from £5-£100 per light. Presumably fire rated isn’t much of a concern in a bathroom setting?
I don’t mind spending extra for quality (assuming quality with downlights mostly comes down to the heat dissipation for improved bulb life and I guess the connectors?), would prefer a max of £25 for each casing though.
Some of them mention different colour temp options or that they’re dimmable but is that purely down to the bulb (which I’ll be replacing with the Philips Hue ones anyway, assuming I can’t get a good downlight casing on it’s own)?
Any recommendation for wattage for a bathroom setting? I’m thinking just go with a high rating anyway as can always dim?
