AQILO 7W Ø70 GU10 IP65 LED Spotlight - Anthracite

The Aqilo is a compact round LED spotlight built around a GU10 PAR16 lamp holder, drawing up to 7W and running on a standard 220-240V AC supply. The body measures Ø70 by 90mm, so it sits neatly into tighter ceiling positions where a fuller fitting would crowd the space. US buyers will recognise the GU10 PAR16 format as the standard twist-and-lock reflector lamp used in directional ceiling fittings. The directional throw makes it a focused spot rather than a wash, putting light where it is aimed instead of spreading it broadly across a room.

The IP65 rating opens up wet and exposed positions that a standard indoor spot cannot handle, which makes the Aqilo a good fit for porches, soffits, covered walkways and bathroom zones where splashing and damp are a concern. Because it is a directional spot rather than ambient room lighting, think of its coverage as a defined pool of light on a wall, doorway or step rather than even floor-level brightness. Several mounted in a line work well for marking an entrance, grazing a feature wall or picking out a path, with the beam angle of the chosen GU10 lamp deciding how tight or wide each pool reads.

Construction is aluminium alloy in an anthracite finish, which holds up well in outdoor and humid settings and keeps the heat moving away from the lamp. The fitting is ceiling mounted and takes a replaceable GU10 lamp, so the light source can be swapped or the colour temperature changed by choosing a different bulb rather than replacing the whole unit. At Ø70 by 90mm and 254g it is light enough for straightforward fixing. The Aqilo range includes further IP65 spotlights in matching finishes for coordinated runs.

Can the Aqilo be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

Yes. Its IP65 rating means it is weatherproof and suited to exposed outdoor positions and wet zones such as porches, soffits and bathrooms. It withstands water jets and damp, so it copes well in covered walkways and humid spaces.

Is a GU10 bulb included, and is the fitting dimmable?

The Aqilo takes a standard GU10 PAR16 lamp, which is sourced separately so you can pick the wattage, beam and colour temperature you need. Dimming depends entirely on the GU10 lamp chosen; fit a dimmable GU10 on a compatible dimmer to dim the output.

What beam does it give?

As a directional spotlight, the Aqilo produces a focused pool of light rather than a broad room wash. The exact beam angle is set by the GU10 lamp you fit, so a narrow lamp gives a tight accent and a wider one a more spread coverage.

How do I clean the fitting?

Wipe the anthracite aluminium body and lens with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the finish, and switch the fitting off and let it cool before cleaning.
