Description
The Gavi is a compact recessed downlight built around a G4 capsule lamp drawing up to 10W. It drops into the ceiling as a small round fitting with an overall diameter of just 73mm, giving a neat, low-profile finish once installed. As a low-voltage fitting it runs on 12V, accepting either 12V AC or 12V DC supply, so it pairs with an existing low-voltage transformer or driver rather than connecting straight to mains. North American buyers will recognise this format as a small recessed can light, here scaled for the discreet G4 lamp rather than a larger downlight body.
The Gavi suits hallways, landings, alcoves and shallow ceiling voids where a full-size downlight would be too bulky, and it works well grouped in runs to build up gentle, even illumination across a room. Because output depends on the G4 lamp you fit, coverage is best judged by lamp choice and spacing rather than a fixed figure, with several units spread across a ceiling typically giving softer ambient light than a single point. Allow enough recess depth above the ceiling line for the fitting and its low-voltage connection, and keep the spacing regular for an unbroken line of light. It is an indoor fitting only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location.
Construction is steel with a matte chrome finish, keeping the visible trim crisp against a painted ceiling. The fitting carries an IP20 rating, confirming it is intended for dry interior use. It recesses into the ceiling and takes a G4 capsule lamp via the standard G4 base, with the low-voltage 12V supply fed from a separate transformer or driver sized to the load. Weighing only 66g, it is light to handle and position during installation. The Gavi range includes further low-voltage recessed options for matching a scheme across multiple rooms.

Frequently Asked
What size cut-out does the Gavi need?
The fitting has an overall diameter of 73mm (Ø73 mm), so the ceiling cut-out is the recess hole the body drops into, sized just under this overall trim diameter. Always work to the manufacturer's stated cut-out rather than the visible trim size, and check you have enough depth in the ceiling void above for the fitting and its low-voltage connection.
Does it run straight from the mains?
No. The Gavi is a low-voltage fitting that runs on 12V, accepting either 12V AC or 12V DC. You will need a transformer or driver between the mains and the fitting, sized to suit the total load if you are running several together.
Which lamp does it take and is it dimmable?
It uses a G4 capsule lamp rated up to 10W, which is supplied separately so you can choose the output and colour tone you prefer. Whether the fitting dims depends on the lamp and the low-voltage transformer or driver used, so pair a dimmable G4 lamp with a compatible dimmable supply if you want dimming.
How do I clean the fitting?
Switch off the power and let any lamp cool, then wipe the matte chrome trim with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh solvents on the steel finish, and never use a wet cloth near the live low-voltage connection.
