Chiro 10W GU10 Recessed Spotlight - Black

The Chiro is a recessed ceiling spotlight built around a single GU10 lamp drawing up to 10W, set into a round aluminium alloy housing. As an LED spotlight it runs on standard 220-240V AC mains and accepts a PAR16 GU10 bulb, so the beam character and brightness are set by the lamp you choose to fit. Buyers in the United States will know this fitting style as a recessed can light, sized to take the same GU10 spotlamps used here. The compact round trim sits flush in the ceiling and directs a focused pool of light downward rather than a wide ambient wash.

The Chiro suits hallways, kitchens, living rooms and home offices where directional, recessed light is wanted without a surface-mounted fitting on show. Because it is a single GU10 spotlight it works best as part of a planned layout, spaced in a run to cover a worktop, a circulation route or a seating zone rather than lighting a whole room from one point. As an indoor IP20 fitting it should be kept out of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed location. Coverage depends on the GU10 lamp fitted, so think in terms of beam throw and the area each downward pool of light grazes rather than a fixed room size.

The body is aluminium alloy in a black finish, weighing 220g, with a round profile that recesses into the ceiling. Mounting is into a ceiling cut-out, so it needs a void above and a suitable opening to seat the fitting. The IP20 rating confirms it is for dry indoor ceilings only. Dimmability and colour temperature are governed by the GU10 lamp chosen, since the Chiro itself is the housing rather than an integrated light source. The Chiro range includes further GU10 spotlight options in the same finish for matching across a room.

Is the GU10 bulb included, and can it be dimmed?

The Chiro is the recessed housing and takes a standard GU10 PAR16 lamp, which is specified separately. Whether it dims depends on the GU10 bulb you fit and the dimmer used, so choose a lamp marked dimmable if you want that control.

Can this spotlight be used in a bathroom or outdoors?

No. The Chiro is rated IP20, which means dry indoor use only. Keep it clear of bathrooms, porches, carports and any damp or exposed location, and choose an IP65-rated fitting for those areas instead.

What beam angle does it give?

The beam is set by the GU10 PAR16 lamp you install rather than the fitting itself. A narrow lamp gives a tight accent pool while a wider one spreads the light, so pick the beam to match the surface or zone you want to highlight.

How do I clean it?

Switch off the power and let the lamp cool, then wipe the black aluminium trim with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners so the finish is not marked.
