Ansell Lighting has unveiled what it says is the industry’s first modular fire-rated downlight whose light engine can be easily replaced.
The Prism Pro XM, which replaces the existing Prism Pro range, is designed around a modular format, with a replaceable driver and light engine.
These components can be changed individually in the event of failure or upgrade, extending product life and reducing the need for full luminaire replacement.
Prism Pro XM is available in standard, gimbal, and anti-glare formats. It is fully fire rated for 30, 60, and 90 minutes, supporting compliance with Part B of the Building Regulations across all ceiling types.
The downlight has also been tested to meet the requirements of Part C for moisture, Part E for acoustics, and Part L for energy efficiency.
Power and correlated colour temperature are selectable, with options of 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, and 6000K. Two output levels are available within a single luminaire.
The product features a sloped bezel and a low-profile design – allowing installation in shallow ceiling voids – alongside a 60° beam angle for wider light distribution.
The LED lifespan is rated at L80 60,000 hours.
Installation has been revised with the introduction of a lever-style connector, designed to support quicker placement and removal.
According to the company, this is intended to reduce strain during installation and help minimise the risk of damage to ceiling plasterboard.
Prism Pro XM delivers up to 100 lm/W and is supplied with a seven year warranty.
Mark Abbott, Managing Director at Ansell Lighting, says that the downlight puts ‘sustainability and longevity at the forefront of its design’.
‘It’s been developed to give installers and specifiers a smarter, more cost-effective and future-proof solution – one that reduces waste, simplifies maintenance, and delivers long-term performance without compromise.’
