Description
This is a two lamp spot bar in chrome: a straight bar on a round ceiling plate, with two tapered heads hanging from short stems. Each head takes a single GU10 lamp, and the retail pack states that the lamps are sold separately, so you choose the light to suit the room. The bar and heads carry a bright mirror chrome, with the mounting plate a softer brushed silver against them. Each head tilts on its stem and turns where the stem meets the bar, so the two beams aim independently.
Two heads on one plate earn their keep wherever a single fixed light leaves a shadow. Over a kitchen worktop, one head can cover the chopping area while the other picks out the hob or the sink. In a hallway the pair can wash a long wall or light a run of pictures, and above a desk they put light on the paperwork rather than the screen. It mounts flat to a ceiling from that round plate, which makes it a straightforward swap for an older single fitting. Being unrated for moisture, it belongs in dry indoor rooms.
The manufacturer states that the fitting is dimmable, and on a fitting with no driver of its own that comes down to the lamps. Fit GU10s marked dimmable and use a dimmer rated for LED loads; non-dimmable lamps will not dim behind any switch. Brightness, colour temperature and beam angle follow the same logic, so one bar can give warm white narrow beams over a worktop or cool white wide ones down a hall. GU10 is a mains voltage cap, so no transformer is needed. No IP rating is stated by the manufacturer. It is sold as one bar with both heads, minimum order one.

Frequently Asked
Does it come with lamps?
No. The retail pack states that GU10 lamps are sold separately, so budget for two lamps alongside the bar itself.
What should I check on the lamps I buy?
Look for the GU10 cap: two short, stubby pins on a flat base that push into the holder and twist a quarter turn to lock.
Is it dimmable?
The manufacturer states yes. In practice, dimming depends on fitting GU10 lamps marked dimmable and using a dimmer switch rated for LED loads.
Does it need a transformer?
No. GU10 lamps run at mains voltage, unlike the older GU5.3 spots with two thin pins, which need a low voltage transformer behind them.
How much light will it give?
That depends entirely on the two GU10 lamps you choose. The manufacturer states no brightness, colour temperature or beam angle for the fitting itself.
Can the two heads point in different directions?
Yes. Each head tilts on its stem and rotates where the stem joins the bar, so the beams can be aimed at two separate spots.
