Modulo F2 Downlight Fascia

Aluminium

Care Requirement - Regular maintenance and scratch protection 

Cleaning Guide - Metal surfaces should be cleaned every 1–2 weeks to maintain their finish and prevent dust or residue build-up. Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust and fingerprints. For stains or signs of tarnish, use a metal cleaner suitable for the specific finish, applying it carefully to restore the surface without causing damage. 

Placement Guide - Metal finishes should be positioned in areas with medium sunlight exposure, with indirect light preferred, as prolonged direct sunlight can cause surfaces to heat up and potentially discolour over time. These materials have moderate tolerance to saltwater environments, however regular exposure may accelerate wear if not maintained. Metals can generally withstand higher proximity to heat sources, making them suitable for a range of interior applications. They also perform well in higher humidity environments, though proper ventilation is recommended to minimise the risk of corrosion over time. Repositioning is not required, as metals maintain their form and structure in place. 

Deep Cleaning Guide - Metal finishes should be deep cleaned every 6 months or as needed to maintain their appearance and longevity. For iron and aluminium, use a mild soap solution with warm water and a soft cloth to gently wipe down the surface. For stainless steel, apply a dedicated stainless steel cleaner to remove smudges, then polish with a microfibre cloth, always wiping in the direction of the grain to preserve the finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia or solvent-based cleaners, as well as abrasive materials like steel wool, which can damage the surface. Refrain from harsh scrubbing or forceful cleaning, particularly on delicate finishes, and do not expose metals to solvents, oils or petroleum-based products. DIY cleaning methods such as vinegar or baking soda should also be avoided, as they may compromise the integrity of the finish. 

Plastic  

Care Requirement - Durable and low maintenance 

Cleaning Guide - Plastic surfaces should be cleaned monthly to maintain their appearance and prevent build-up. Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust, dirt and residue. For stains, use the same method, ensuring you test on a small, inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these may damage or dull the surface over time. 

Placement Guide - Plastic materials should be positioned in areas with medium sunlight exposure, with indirect light preferred, as prolonged direct sunlight can lead to yellowing and surface brittleness over time. These materials generally have a high tolerance to saltwater environments, making them suitable for a range of indoor and outdoor settings. Plastics can withstand moderate proximity to heat sources and perform well in high humidity conditions, though excessive heat should be avoided to prevent warping. To maintain their shape and ensure even wear, it is recommended to rotate items every 3 months, preventing constant pressure on one side. 

Deep Cleaning Guide - Plastic materials should be deep cleaned every 6–12 months or as needed to maintain their finish and longevity. Use a mild soap solution with a microfibre cloth to gently wipe down the surface, removing any built-up residue. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia or solvent-based cleaners, as well as abrasive materials like steel wool, which can scratch or dull the surface. Refrain from harsh scrubbing or forceful cleaning, and do not expose plastics to solvents, oils or petroleum-based products, as these may cause damage or discolouration. DIY cleaning methods such as vinegar or baking soda should also be avoided to preserve the integrity of the material. 

 IP20 is protected against solid objects larger than 12mm (like fingers) but has no protection against water

What is the Modulo F2 Fascia used for? 
The Modulo F2 Fascia is a decorative trim designed for use with the Modulo downlight system. It allows you to customise the visible finish of the downlight, giving the fitting a clean architectural look while housing the selected Modulo light source. 

What light sources are compatible with the Modulo F2 Fascia? 
The Modulo F2 Fascia is compatible with a range of Modulo light engines and GU10 globes, allowing you to tailor the output and performance depending on the project requirements. This modular approach means the same fascia can be paired with different light sources for flexibility in lighting design. 

What cut-out size is required for the Modulo F2 Fascia? 
The Modulo F2 Fascia requires a 90mm ceiling cut-out and has overall dimensions of 98mm diameter and 57mm height. This makes it suitable for installations where a slightly larger trim is desired to create a defined ceiling detail 

What is the benefit of the Modulo modular lighting system? 
The Modulo system allows you to separate the fascia, light engine, and accessories, giving you greater flexibility in lighting design. This means you can select the fascia style you prefer while choosing the light source that best suits the performance, beam angle, or brightness required for the space.
