Lepro Bathroon Ceiling Light, 15W 100W Equivalent, Daylight White, 22cm

The Lepro 15W LED Ceiling Light is an exceptional, energy-efficient flush-mount fixture that delivers incredible value for its compact $\varnothing22\text{cm}$ size. Pumping out a powerful 1500 lumens while drawing just 15 watts, it serves as an excellent replacement for a traditional 100W incandescent bulb, immediately slashing energy consumption by 85%. The 5000K daylight white light provides a crisp, ultra-bright, and clean illumination that completely transforms dark, shadowy spaces into beautifully lit rooms

I read a few reviews and some were complaining about the difficulty to fit this light. It’s honestly not that hard. Being doubly insulated there is no earth and the spring-clip electrical connections (everywhere these days) aren’t huge - so it might be a struggle depending on your wire size. The height your are at when fitting any lights makes a huge difference too. Use a proper sized stepladder and don’t be doing everything at arms reach. There is nowhere really to put any connection box, so if you are replacing an older light you’ll need to connect up separately and put that in above the light only leaving the L&N coming out of the hole. Upsides: it’s bright, good looking and cheap. Downsides: be aware that the rubber ‘cable entry’ comes off with a pull and if you put it on backwards (like I did) the lid won’t fit - just turn it around and you’ll be fine. Also, the (genuinely good) idea of the clipping system that holds it on to the ceiling can only really go in one orientation - due to the cable entry this really limited where I could place the fitting and it ended up being closer to my window than I would have liked - I could have moved it, but it would have meant more faffing around and I was on a time limit. Maybe I’ll go back to it later. All in: great product and I’d certainly buy again.

The first thing I’d say is I’m very impressed with the light output, the fittings look okay & they’re cheap. However, as can be seen from photos on other reviews, installation isn’t always straightforward. Part of the fitting’s specification is its water resistance. There is a gasket around the terminal cover to assist with this. If single insulated cable (or stripped flex etc) is used, the gasket won’t seal the cover. A correctly sized & stripped flex needs to be used to maintain water resistance - which is where we come to issue number 2. Most uk lights are wired using the ‘looped in’ method. This means you will normally encounter a minimum of two cables, each containing three wires. On most fittings there will be three cables (nine wires) and occasionally there may be a looped supply to another lamp, totalling twelve wires! These fittings have provision for a maximum of four wires, two ‘live’ (switch wires) & two neutral. That’s assuming you use flat 2-core flex, or you’ll be back to losing water resistance. This leaves you with a couple of problems - firstly you’ll need some flex, which isn’t provided. Secondly, you’ll need to make the other wires off safely. The usual solution is to stick them into connector blocks, joining the switch wire & neutral connections onto your flex & stuffing the blocks into the ceiling, leaving the flex dangling to connect to the fitting. This doesn’t comply with the wiring regulations though & definitely limits the water resistant qualities. Assuming you find your way around that issue, there are another couple of minor niggles. One is what first appears to be a good idea - the metal bracket the unit clips onto. A sensible design would have clips that disengaged when pushed, but the designers went for the easier ‘disengage when pulled’ option. There isn’t much space to do this, so unless you have thin & nimble fingers you may end up having to use a loop of string or a long nosed pliers to pull the clips back. (I notice that on the newer model, it comes with attached flex & the clip bracket has been abandoned). Finally, the lamps aren’t replaceable. They’re supposed to last 20,000 hours, which is around the same as a standard LED lamp..... in my experience, LED lamps don’t last 20,000 hours in the real world. When they fail though, I just swap the lamp. When one of these goes, the whole fitting is shot & needs replacing. They’re cheap, but not as cheap as replacement lamps. Overall, I think they’re a worthwhile buy, especially if they can be wired in flex from an accessible joint box. Very bright, so ideal in many situations & good value as long as the lamps don’t burn out too quickly.

These can be tricky to fit. This is only because you need your L and N cable to be around 4" long after it comes out of the ceiling (which is not often the case and will need extending with 25amp block connectors and some 1.5mm twin & earth cable - preferably rigid). You do not need the earth because it is double poled and not a metal casing. If your earth is there in your existing wire then place it into a block connector and took it away. Fit the mounting bracket first because the light just clicks into place and becomes secure. However, before you place the fitting in its final place, you have to connect the L and N. This is done by pushing the little lever which opens up the entrance of the L and N to place the wire inside. Once the cable has been placed in the hole, let go of the lever and the hole closes, trapping the cable. Once the this has been done, make sure the seals that are in two pieces fit around the cable mounting area (you will see what I mean when you see it) and refit the L/N cover plate which is held secure by two screws, then place the fitting on the holding bracket and pull the small lever at the side of the light and it clicks into place. This is waterproof and let me tell you it is bright and I mean BRIGHT. This gives off a white light, it is not a cold light and it is not a warm light but it is a white light. Myself and my Wife think it is great and you soon get used to the brightness. I would recommend this to anyone because the low profile fitting is not bulky and is a nice addition to our bathroom.

Very bright ! Easy to install. Light and simple to connect.

Easy to fit flat on the ceiling Really good light

Very clear bright light and small profile. Perfect for my bathroom.

This is a super light. Big output for a small power input and has brightened up an en-suite area so much even the wall tiles look whiter! I am very pleased with this light fitting. It is neat and looks good in a bathroom/ toilet/ en-suite situation especially the colour output (classed as neutral/daylight white). Not so sure it would be all that attractive in the likes of a dining room for example - not to my taste anyway. One of the best features as regards fitting is the wiring. Trim the wires as suggested and it is then a simple matter to push the live and neutral (no earth require) into the appropriate slots and, bingo, the wires are secure. No messing around with screw type connectors which can be a bit fiddly sometimes. Probably the most difficult part of the fitting process was getting the best orientation for the mounting bar so as to ensure the cable was hidden from view - but having said that, it's not that difficult. I thoroughly recommend this light fitting and I'll be ordering at least another one for a similar location in my house.....can't say more than that. UPDATE: I've just spent the best part of 4 hours trying to find out why this light has started to flicker when it's switched on. After a while it seemed to settle but, annoyingly, it would repeat the flickering at random. I won't go through the whole 4 hours but eventually found the problem to be with the connector between the light and the house lighting cable. For some reason the connector was not gripping the wires sufficiently tightly though it's been running perfectly well over the past 20 months or so. My solution was to replace the connector with a double cable connector strip with screw down fixings. Very easy to do once you have literally had to break the original connector to get it out! Light is now flicker free and I have no doubt will continue to be so until the LED gives out. WARNING - do to attempt this solution unless you are fully competent in wiring procedures.

Light weight and bright enough for my toilet.

Es ligero e ilumina muchisimo. Viene con todo lo necesario para poder instalarlo. Si tienes agujeros anteriores, es posible que puedas aprovecharlos, se monta con un sistema que te da un cierto juego para adaptarte, aunque no ha sido mi caso y he tenido que hacer un agujero más. El sistema de acople de los cable electricos es muy sencillo, siempre que dispongas de cierta longitud de cable en el techo para trabajar. Tampoco ha sido mi caso y he tenido que añadir un cable extra. Muy trabajoso para una sola persona que ha de aguantar el plafón mientras hace las conexiones. Salvado todo esto, es una maravilla e ilumina de lujo. Esperamos que dure lo que indica el fabricante.

The light was delivered quickly. It was easy to install and brightens up the room nicely.

Bien, mais pas très facile de faire le raccordement.

Buen producto, era lo que esperaba
