Aqilo 20W Ø100 GU10 IP65 Outdoor Spotlight - Anthracite

The Aqilo is a round surface-mounted LED spotlight built for outdoor duty, taking a single E27 bulb rated up to 20W and running directly from a 220 to 240V AC supply. The fitting measures Ø96 by 160mm and ships ready to point light where it is needed, whether that is a wall wash, a downward pool over a doorway or a focused beam onto a feature. American buyers will know this format as an outdoor spotlight with a standard medium screw base, the E27 being the equivalent of the US E26 cap, so common GU10-style outdoor heads have a direct counterpart here.

Because the light output depends on the E27 bulb you fit, this Aqilo suits porches, side passages, sheltered entrances and exposed garden walls where a single accent or wash is wanted rather than broad ambient cover. Throw and spread follow the bulb you choose, so a tighter reflector lamp will graze a wall or pick out a planted bed, while a wider beam lifts the light over a step or path. It mounts to the ceiling soffit of a porch or to an external wall, and pairs well in repeating runs along a longer elevation where matched fittings keep the look consistent.

Construction is aluminium alloy with an IP65 rating, so the body is sealed against dust and rated for direct rain and wet locations, making it dependable on fully exposed outdoor walls and not just sheltered spots. The 642g unit carries an anthracite finish that sits quietly against grey render, brick and dark cladding. The E27 lamp is user-replaceable, so colour temperature and wattage up to 20W are chosen at the bulb, and dimming follows whatever lamp and switching you specify. The Aqilo range offers further matched outdoor fittings in the same anthracite finish for a coordinated scheme.

Can the Aqilo be used outdoors and in wet locations?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is sealed against dust and protected against water jets, so it is suitable for fully exposed outdoor walls and wet locations as well as sheltered porches and entrances. There is no need to keep it under cover.

Is a bulb included, and what fitting does it take?

The Aqilo takes a single E27 screw-cap bulb rated up to 20W, which is supplied separately so you can pick the wattage and colour temperature to suit the location. Dimming depends on the lamp and switching you choose rather than the fitting itself.

What beam and coverage should I expect?

Because the output comes from the E27 bulb you fit, the beam angle and spread depend on that lamp. A narrow reflector bulb gives a tight accent for grazing a wall or feature, while a wider lamp throws a broader wash over a doorway, step or path.

How do I keep the fitting clean outdoors?

Wipe the anthracite alloy body and lens with a soft damp cloth to clear dust, salt and grime that build up on exposed walls. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents, and switch the supply off before cleaning so the fitting is cool and safe to handle.
