AQILO Ø100 20W GU10 IP65 Spotlight - White

The Aqilo is a round surface-mounted spotlight built to take a single lamp at up to 20W, running on a standard 220-240V AC mains supply. It holds an E27 lamp rather than the GU10 fitting common to many indoor spots, so it suits anyone who prefers the larger screw cap. The directional housing throws a focused pool of light onto whatever sits below or in front of it, which makes it a practical choice where you want to pick out a feature rather than wash a whole area evenly.

Because it carries an IP65 rating, the Aqilo is at home in fully exposed outdoor positions as well as sheltered ones, coping with rain and wet locations without trouble. It works well on a porch ceiling, an external wall above a door, or a covered patio where you want a clear, aimed beam picking out a path, a step or an entrance point. Coverage depends on the lamp you fit, so think of it as a single accent throw onto a defined spot rather than general room fill; mount it at a sensible height so the beam lands where you want it and clears head height in walkways.

The body is cast aluminium alloy in a white finish, measuring Ø96 by 160mm and weighing 642g, so it stays compact on the surface it is fixed to. The E27 lamp is supplied separately, letting you choose the wattage, colour temperature and beam to suit the job. Surface mounting keeps installation straightforward on both ceilings and walls. The Aqilo sits within a wider range of Aqilo spotlights in matching finishes if you need several across a scheme.

Can the Aqilo be used outdoors?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is weatherproof and rated for fully exposed outdoor and wet locations, not just sheltered spots. It is well suited to external walls, porches and covered patios where it will face rain.

Is a lamp included?

No, the lamp is supplied separately. The Aqilo takes a single E27 screw-cap lamp up to a maximum of 20W, so you can pick the colour temperature and beam angle that best fit where it is going.

Is the Aqilo dimmable?

Dimming depends entirely on the E27 lamp you fit, as the fitting itself is simply a holder. If you want dimming, choose a dimmable lamp and pair it with a compatible dimmer switch.

How should the spotlight be cleaned and maintained?

Switch off the supply and let the fitting cool, then wipe the aluminium body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads on the white finish, and check the seal stays intact so the IP65 rating is maintained outdoors.
