AQILO Ø70 10W GU10 IP65 Outdoor Spotlight - Anthracite

The Aqilo is a compact round LED spotlight built around an E14 lamp holder, rated to a maximum of 10W and running on 220 to 240V AC mains. It measures just Ø70 by 150mm, giving a neat cylindrical body that directs a focused beam where it is aimed rather than washing a whole area. Across the Atlantic this style of weatherproof fitting tends to be sold as an exterior spotlight or wall spot, and the principle is the same on either side: a single lamp throwing a defined cone of light onto a wall, doorway or feature.

Because it is a directional fitting rather than a general ceiling light, its job is accent and task throw rather than filling a room with even brightness. It suits sheltered porches, exterior walls, doorways and garden corners, picking out a path edge, a planted bed or an architectural detail with a tight beam. The exact spread depends on the E14 lamp fitted, so you can tune the throw from a narrow accent to a wider wash by choosing the bulb. Mounted at typical wall or eaves height, it works well in pairs or short runs to mark an entrance or graze a textured surface.

The body is aluminium alloy in an anthracite finish, sized at Ø70 by 150mm and weighing 370g, so it stays discreet against brick, render or timber cladding. An IP65 rating means it is sealed against dust and low-pressure water jets, making it safe for fully exposed outdoor and wet locations as well as covered ones. It is surface mounted and takes a separate E14 lamp, which keeps relamping simple and lets you set your own colour temperature and output. The wider Aqilo range offers matching exterior fittings for a consistent look around a property.

Can the Aqilo be used outdoors and in wet locations?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which seals it against dust and low-pressure water jets. That makes it suitable for fully exposed exterior walls, doorways and garden settings, as well as sheltered porches and entrances.

Is a bulb included, and which type does it take?

The fitting uses a single E14 lamp, which is supplied separately so you can choose the output and colour temperature to suit the location. The holder is rated to a maximum of 10W, so fit an E14 lamp within that limit for correct, safe operation.

What beam spread does it give?

As a directional spotlight, the Aqilo throws a defined cone of light rather than an even spread, so it is best for accenting walls, paths, plants or features. The actual beam angle is set by the E14 lamp you fit, letting you choose a tighter accent or a wider wash.

How should the fitting be cleaned and maintained?

Switch off the supply and wipe the anthracite aluminium body with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding harsh solvents that could mark the finish. Clearing dust and debris from the lens now and then keeps the light output bright, which is worth doing on exposed outdoor positions.
