The Ampere AMPAPPSLABI/T is a purpose-built slab canister designed to securely house both LED or halogen downlights and their drivers/transformers during concrete pour applications. Constructed from flame-retardant ABS, this high-integrity unit includes an angled internal pocket to hold transformers in place and provides compatibility with a wide range of downlight fittings, including ‘butterfly’ and ‘mousetrap’ clip systems.

This versatile solution is ideal for electricians and builders looking for a streamlined, concrete-ready canister that ensures a neat and compliant downlight installation in precast and in-situ slabs.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Fitting Compatible: Accepts both ‘mousetrap’ and ‘butterfly’ style downlight fittings for maximum flexibility.
  • Built-In Transformer Pocket: Includes a 46mm x 57mm x 100mm angled compartment that prevents transformer slippage and enables easy replacement post-installation.
  • 12V & 240V Compatible: Suited for a range of lighting systems including 12V/240V halogen, LED, and some R80 downlights.
  • Concrete-Ready Design: One-piece molded ABS construction resists concrete ingress during pour.
  • Installer-Friendly: Mounting tabs allow quick and secure fixing directly to formwork. Conduit entry is supported and can be glued or sealed for stability.
  • Secure During Pour: Comes with a strengthening plug that retains the round shape of the canister during concrete setting.
