Description
A tilting head sits inside this round recessed fitting, so the beam can be angled away from straight down and aimed where you actually want it. The visible face is a slim aluminium ring, plain and unfussy, with the lamp set back behind it to keep glare off the eye. It takes a GU10 lamp of up to 50W, and the lampholder is already fitted.
We reach for adjustable heads like this where light has a job to do rather than simply filling a room: grazing a stone chimney breast, picking out a picture, or throwing light forward onto a worktop instead of down the front of the cupboards. It suits kitchens, hallways, landings and living rooms, and a few of them will sit happily alongside fixed downlights elsewhere in the same ceiling. Use a dimmable LED and the light will dim from a compatible dimmer switch; for a controlled, tidy spread we would choose a 50mm reflector lamp rather than a wide flood.
The body is aluminium, in a natural finish that reads cool and quiet against a white ceiling, and it is shallow front to back and very light in the hand. Keep it to dry rooms, away from steam and splashing. Cleaning asks little: a dry microfibre cloth over the trim now and then, with the power off at the switch and the lamp gone cold first. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same round head in matt white, sand black and satin nickel with chrome, and there is a square version in the range if your ceiling already runs on straight lines. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What aperture does it need, and how big is the visible face?
The cut-out is 80mm and the trim measures 92mm across, so it covers the opening with a small margin all round. Overall height is just 24mm.
How far does the head move?
The head swivels within the trim, letting you angle the beam off vertical to aim at a wall, a picture or a worktop rather than straight at the floor.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, provided you use a dimmable GU10 lamp and a compatible dimmer switch. No dimmer is supplied with the fitting.
Which lamp works best in it?
A GU10 LED in the 50mm reflector shape, rated no higher than 50W. LED keeps the running load low and gives you a choice of beam widths and colour temperatures.
Can it go in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated IP20, which means dry interior rooms only, so keep it away from shower zones, above a bath, and anywhere exposed to weather.
Does the aluminium finish need any particular care?
Only an occasional dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid cream cleaners, solvents and abrasive pads, and let the lamp cool completely before you touch the trim.
