M-ELEC M-ELEC ML-MR8-M-RF 8W Multi LED Downlight User manual

  • I've reviewed the product details document for MELEC downlights, specifically the ML-MR8-M-RF and ML-MR8-M-RF-RAPID models. This document covers key specifications, such as the product's low-profile design for installation under trusses, its IC-4 rating that allows it to be covered with insulation, and the inclusion of an on-board driver. I'm ready to answer your questions about these downlights.
  • What is the IP rating of the downlight?
    Is the light source replaceable?
    What is the average life of the downlight?
    Can the flexible cord be replaced if damaged?
