The HellermannTyton SPOTCLIP PA66 BK X1 is a ceiling spacing holder for the installation of recessed spotlights in drywall and acoustic construction. It serves as a spacing holder between the recessed luminaire and the ceiling structure, ensuring a safe distance from vapor barrier foil and insulation material. The product is specifically designed for use in panels as well as in gypsum board (GKP) and allows installation in both new construction and renovation projects. The SpotClip-I is a four-legged spacing holder that offers thermal and mechanical advantages. It is made of non-flammable, glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide (PA66), providing high heat resistance and mechanical strength. The material selection contributes to reducing the risk of overheating and heat buildup, which can positively affect the lifespan of the light source.

Applications

The SPOTCLIP PA66 BK X1 is intended for recessed spotlights with cutouts in the diameter range of 62 to 90 mm. The maximum height of the installed luminaire is 70 mm. The application is in drywall and acoustic construction, with installation possible in both new and existing buildings. Use in panels and gypsum board enables flexible integration into various ceiling constructions. The function of the spacing holder is to create sufficient air gap between the luminaire and the insulation or vapor barrier foil behind it, ensuring heat dissipation.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The spacing holder is designed as a four-legged holder that hooks into the ceiling cutout and securely positions the recessed luminaire. The construction from glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide (PA66) provides high mechanical stability and heat resistance. The material is non-flammable, increasing safety during use. Installation requires no additional fastening elements, as the SpotClip-I is simply hung into the cutout. The thermal advantages result from heat dissipation due to the distance from the ceiling structure, reducing the risk of heat buildup and overheating.

Technology Explained Simply

The product utilizes the properties of glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide (PA66), a thermoplastic material that gains increased strength and heat resistance through glass fiber reinforcement. The non-flammable nature of the material meets fire safety requirements for indoor use. The four-legged shape ensures stable positioning of the luminaire and prevents shifting or tipping. Installation is done by simply hanging the holder into the designated cutout, eliminating the need for additional fastening components.

Compatibility and Accessories

The SPOTCLIP PA66 BK X1 is suitable for recessed spotlights with cutouts of 62 to 90 mm in diameter. The maximum height of the installed luminaire is 70 mm. The product is used in panels and gypsum board (GKP), with no additional accessories or installation aids required.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by hanging the four-legged spacing holder into the ceiling cutout. The cutout must have the specified diameter of 62 to 90 mm. After hanging, the recessed luminaire is placed onto the SpotClip-I, ensuring secure positioning. The installation requires no additional tools or fastening elements. The application is possible in both new construction and renovation, provided the ceiling has an appropriate cutout.

Operational Advantages

The use of the SPOTCLIP PA66 BK X1 ensures a safe distance between the recessed luminaire and the insulation or vapor barrier foil behind it. This reduces the risk of overheating and heat buildup, which can extend the lifespan of the light source. The use of non-flammable, glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide increases operational safety. The simple installation without additional fastening elements reduces installation time. Compatibility with panels and gypsum board enables flexible application in various construction projects.

The product has been tested according to standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2-2, which define requirements for luminaires and their mounting components. Standard EN 60598-1 covers general requirements for luminaires, while EN 60598-2-2 specifies requirements for recessed luminaires. Compliance with these standards ensures the functionality and safety of the product in use.

Protection Rating

The indication of a protection rating such as IP67 or IP54 is therefore not relevant, as the product does not perform any electrical functions and does not serve as a protective enclosure.
