Description
This is a recessed GU10 downlight fitting with a white round bezel, a die-cast aluminium build and a rated wattage of 50W. The bezel sits against the ceiling and the black body behind it carries the GU10 lamp holder, with two sprung clips on the sides that grip the ceiling board once the fitting has been pushed up through the hole. A quick connect terminal block is mounted on a bracket at the rear, which is where the mains feed lands. The manufacturer states the fitting as dimmable. It is fire rated for 30, 60 and 90 minutes.
Downlights like this go into kitchen, hallway, landing, living room and bedroom ceilings, usually in a run of three or four spaced evenly along the room or in a line above a worktop. The bezel is fixed rather than tilting, so the light falls straight down, which suits general ceiling lighting and even coverage more than picking out a picture or a wall. White is the finish to pick when you want the fitting to read as part of a painted ceiling rather than as hardware. We also list the same fitting in chrome, and tilted versions in white and chrome if you would rather angle the beam.
The 50W figure is the ceiling the fitting is rated to rather than a target, and a GU10 LED lamp will draw a small fraction of it. Brightness, colour temperature and beam angle all come from the lamp you choose, so buy the lamp on the light you want. The fitting is stated as dimmable, so the pairing that decides how smoothly it dims is a GU10 marked dimmable together with a dimmer rated for LED loads. It runs on a 220-240V mains supply. One unit is one fitting, with a minimum order of one, so you can order the exact number a room needs.

Frequently Asked
Which lamps does this fitting take?
It takes a GU10 lamp, the twist and lock cap with two stubby pins, up to the rated 50W. Any GU10 will fit mechanically, so choose on brightness and colour temperature.
Will it dim?
The manufacturer states the fitting as dimmable. Because the light itself comes from the lamp, fit a GU10 marked dimmable and use a dimmer rated for LED loads.
What size hole does it need?
It needs a 72mm cut-out and at least 122mm of ceiling void. If you are replacing an existing downlight, measure the hole in your ceiling before you order.
What does quick connect mean here?
A terminal block is fitted to the bracket at the back, so the mains feed is terminated at the fitting itself. Wiring should be carried out by a competent person.
Is a lamp supplied with it?
This listing is one fitting and the manufacturer does not list a lamp as part of it, so plan on buying a GU10 lamp for each fitting.
