Aqilo Ø70 7W IP65 GU10 Spotlight - White

The Aqilo is a compact round LED spotlight built around a GU10 lamp holder, taking a PAR16 LED of up to 7W and running directly from 220-240V AC mains. Measuring just Ø70 by 90mm, it delivers a tight, directional spread suited to accenting rather than washing a whole space. American buyers shopping for a weatherproof GU10 spot will recognise this as a recessed-style fixed downlight rated for damp and exposed positions. The throw is focused and clean, picking out a doorway, a feature wall or a defined zone rather than flooding an area with even light.

Because it carries an IP65 rating, the Aqilo works well in places a standard indoor spot cannot go: a covered porch, a soffit, an exterior wall under an eave, or a bathroom ceiling near a shower. Coverage is best judged by where you point it rather than by floor area, so use it to mark an entrance, light a step approach or highlight a section of cladding. Mounted to the ceiling, a single head gives a concentrated pool of light directly below, and several spaced along a run build up a series of accents across a patio or wet room ceiling.

The body is aluminium alloy in a white finish, which keeps it discreet against a painted ceiling or soffit. The IP65 sealing means it resists water jets and dust, so it holds up in wet and exposed locations without a separate enclosure. It mounts to the ceiling and takes a GU10 lamp, letting you set the brightness and tone by your choice of bulb. Weighing 254g, it is light enough for straightforward fixing. The Aqilo range includes further finishes and sizes for matching multiple positions across one scheme.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

Can the Aqilo be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

Yes. Its IP65 rating means it is sealed against dust and water jets, so it is suitable for sheltered and exposed outdoor positions such as porches and soffits, as well as bathroom ceilings. It is rated for wet and damp locations rather than dry indoor use only.

Is a GU10 bulb included, and is it dimmable?

The Aqilo takes a GU10 PAR16 LED of up to 7W, which lets you choose the brightness, colour temperature and dimmability to suit the location. Whether the fitting dims depends on the lamp you fit and your dimmer switch, so pair it with a dimmable GU10 if you want adjustable output.

What sort of beam does it give?

It produces a focused, directional beam from the PAR16 GU10 lamp, making it an accent fitting rather than a general room light. Aim it at a doorway, a step or a feature surface for a defined pool of light. The exact spread depends on the GU10 bulb you choose.

How should the white finish be cleaned?

Wipe the aluminium alloy body with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents that could mark the white finish. Always switch off and let the fitting cool before cleaning.
