Description
The Galoba is a compact round surface spotlight that takes a single GU10 lamp, running on a 220-240V AC supply and rated for up to 35W per fitting. Built around a PAR16 light source, it directs a focused cone of light rather than a wide ambient wash, which makes it well suited to picking out a feature or lighting a defined zone. At Ø100 by 150mm it is a small fitting with a clean cylindrical body, mounting flush to the surface rather than recessing into it. In the United States a fitting like this is usually called a surface or flush mount spot, and the principle is the same on either side of the Atlantic.
The directional beam of the Galoba lends itself to accent and task work indoors, throwing light onto a worktop, a shelf or a piece of artwork. Several units spaced across a ceiling can build up a layered scheme, while a single fitting works above a reading chair or alcove. Because the spotlight aims its output rather than spreading it evenly, it is best judged by where you want the light to land rather than by an overall room area. It is an indoor fitting only, given its IP20 rating, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed location.
The body is cast from aluminium alloy in a white finish, giving a sturdy housing that sheds heat well from the GU10 lamp. The IP20 rating confirms it is intended for dry interior settings. It can be fixed to a wall or a ceiling, and the GU10 holder lets you choose the lamp wattage, colour temperature and dimmability to suit the room, since dimming depends on the lamp fitted rather than the spotlight itself. The Galoba range includes further sizes and configurations in the same white finish for matching a scheme across a space.

Frequently Asked
What room size does the Galoba suit?
It is a directional spotlight rather than an ambient ceiling light, so it lights a defined zone rather than a whole room. For general illumination, plan several units across the ceiling or pair it with other fittings. A single Galoba works well over a worktop, shelf or reading spot.
Can the Galoba be dimmed?
Dimming depends on the GU10 lamp you fit rather than the spotlight itself. Choose a dimmable GU10 lamp and a compatible dimmer switch to control the brightness. The fitting accepts standard GU10 lamps up to 35W.
Can I use the Galoba outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. The Galoba is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor use only. Keep it out of bathrooms, porches, carports and any damp or exposed location.
How do I clean the Galoba?
Switch it off and let the lamp cool, then wipe the white aluminium body with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners that could mark the finish. Take care not to disturb the GU10 lamp while cleaning.
