Lighting Accessories

Lighting accessories are the parts that fix, power, join, trim or control a light fitting. This page holds LYYT aluminium LED tape profiles, clips, tape connectors and rope light parts; Knightsbridge bezels and eyelids for bulkheads and downlights, fire hoods, LED drivers, controllers, sensors and hole converter kits; LYYT lamp socket converters and pendant cord sets; and QTX hooks for hanging lighting effects.

Choosing Lighting Accessories

Begin with the fitting or tape the part is for, then match the model it names, its size and its rating.

LED tape profiles and connectors

LYYT aluminium profiles hold LED tape behind a diffuser, in shapes such as shallow, deep, recessed, 45° angle, corner and plaster-in, most in 1m or 2m lengths. Solderless and snap-fit connectors join tape without soldering: match the connector to the tape width, such as 8mm, 10mm or 12mm, and to single colour, RGB or COB tape.

Bulkhead and downlight trims

Bezels and eyelids change the front of a Knightsbridge bulkhead without replacing it: BT9 bezels such as the BT9MBR are 256mm across, while the BT9SLV is 255mm. Every BT14 bezel is 315mm across. Every BT20 bezel is 380mm. Push-fit eyelids such as the BT9EG shade the light. Magnetic FRNFBEZ bezels suit FireNova downlights and RE6BZ bezels RenuLED fixed and tilt downlights, both 88mm.

Drivers, controllers and sensors

The 12DCIP40 is a 12V, 40W IP67 constant voltage driver and the 24DCIP100A a 24V, 100W IP67 DC driver, both with overheat and overload protection, while the 1W210DA is a 350mA constant current driver. The LEDFRA6 is an RF touch controller for RGBW tape at 12V or 24V, and the LEDFWIFI adds Wi-Fi and voice control. The OS022 daylight sensor dims a 1-10V load.

Fire hoods, converters and fixings

The FR150, FR600 and FR1200 are intumescent fire hoods rated for 60 minutes. The HCC, HCBC and HCW kits convert a ceiling hole to GU10 or MR16 lampholders. LYYT lamp socket converters change a lampholder, such as E27 to B22, at up to 60W. QTX hooks hang lighting effects at 20kg or 25kg.

Frequently asked questions

What are lighting accessories?

Lighting accessories are the parts that install, finish, power or control a light fitting rather than the fitting itself. Typical examples include LED drivers, tape profiles, connectors, bulkhead bezels, downlight fire hoods and lampholder converters. Check that an accessory is made for the fitting it will join before fitting it. The range here includes LED drivers, aluminium tape profiles, fire hoods and bulkhead bezels.

What are the components of an LED light?

An LED light is usually built from LED chips on a circuit board, a driver, a heat sink and a lens or diffuser. The driver supplies the right current or voltage, the heat sink draws heat away from the chips and the diffuser spreads the light evenly. Some fittings add a dimming or control module. The range here includes constant voltage LED drivers and a constant current LED driver.

What components does an LED strip light need?

An LED strip light needs the LED tape itself, a driver or power supply matched to the tape voltage, and connectors to join lengths or feed in power. An aluminium profile with a diffuser hides the individual dots and helps the tape run cooler, while colour-changing tape also needs a controller. The range here includes tape profiles, solderless connectors, drivers and RGB controllers.
