Emberlux GU10 Downlight - Matt Black 400mm

The Emberlux is a 400mm surface-mounted downlight finished in matt black metal, housing a single GU10 socket inside a rectangular tube profile. The fitting projects 60mm from the ceiling and directs light straight downward, providing focused task illumination over kitchen islands, worktops, hallways and office desks.

Designed for modern and industrial interiors where visible downlighting serves both functional and architectural roles, the Emberlux works well in rooms with concrete, exposed brick or plain white ceilings where a black metal accent adds definition. The 400mm length suits installation above narrow worktops, bar counters and entrance hallways where a standard circular downlight would look undersized. The fitting is dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer and GU10 LED bulb.

The matt black powder-coated finish on the steel casing gives a low-reflectance surface that reduces glare under daylight and artificial light, while the tubular form keeps the fitting visually discreet when ceiling-mounted. The IP20 rating confirms the fitting is intended for dry indoor use only. The GU10 socket accepts bulbs up to standard wattage (bulb sold separately), allowing control over colour temperature and beam angle depending on the chosen lamp.

Ideal Lux manufactures the Emberlux in Italy and backs the fitting with a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. The surface-mount design simplifies installation in ceilings where recessed downlights are impractical due to shallow void depth or existing structural elements above the plasterboard.

Is this dimmable?

Yes, the Emberlux is dimmable when paired with a compatible trailing-edge or leading-edge dimmer and a dimmable GU10 LED bulb. Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific bulb chosen, so confirm the bulb's dimming specification before purchase.

What bulb does it take?

The fitting takes a standard GU10 bulb (sold separately). Most users pair this with a 5-7W GU10 LED in 3000K or 4000K depending on whether warm or neutral light is needed for the application.

Can this be used in a bathroom?

No. The IP20 rating confirms the fitting is suitable for dry indoor spaces only and does not provide protection against moisture or splashing. For bathroom use, a fitting rated IP44 or higher is required.

How is it fitted to the ceiling?

The Emberlux surface-mounts directly to the ceiling using a base plate fixed with screws into the ceiling void or onto a joist. The fitting connects to standard UK mains wiring and the rectangular casing clips or screws onto the base plate to conceal the connection.
