The gimbal mechanism allows the lamp to tilt up to 15° from vertical once installed, directing accent or task light onto specific surfaces rather than straight down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for recessed installation in plasterboard ceilings, the fitting requires a 75mm cut-out and a minimum 120mm ceiling void above to accommodate the 70mm recessed depth of the lampholder body. Spring clips hold the fitting in place once pushed into the ceiling aperture, with the polished chrome bezel sitting flush or projecting 8.5mm depending on ceiling thickness. The lampholder operates on 12V AC or DC low-voltage supply and requires an electronic transformer (sold separately) to step down from 230V mains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pressed steel construction with chrome electroplated finish provides corrosion resistance and a high-shine reflective surface that amplifies the visual impact of the fitting when switched off. IP20 rated for dry internal spaces only, the lampholder suits retail display lighting, kitchen cabinet accent lighting, hallway task lighting and domestic living spaces where directional downlight is needed. Bulbs are sold separately — the fitting accepts both halogen MR16 and LED MR16 bulbs, with dimmability dependent on the specific bulb and transformer pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Void\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut-out Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTilt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressed steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12V AC\/DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHalogen \/ LED Compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMR16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp dependent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.

Knightsbridge and other manufacturers produce transformers rated to the total wattage of your downlights — for example, a 60W transformer can run one 50W halogen MR16 or multiple lower-wattage LED MR16 bulbs totalling under 60W. The transformer is not included and must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use LED bulbs in this fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The lampholder accepts both halogen and LED MR16 bulbs with GU5.3 bi-pin bases. Most 12V LED MR16 bulbs draw 3-7W and provide equivalent light to a 35-50W halogen while running cooler and lasting longer. Check the bulb and transformer are compatible before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much tilt adjustment does the gimbal allow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gimbal mechanism allows the lamp to tilt up to 15° from vertical once installed.
