Description
The SEIDY is a compact recessed square ceiling light built around an MR16 lamp with a Gx5.3 cap, drawing up to 10W and running on a 12V supply (12 AC or 12 DC). It sets flush into the ceiling, so the trim sits neatly against the surface with only the square face on show. Sold in the US as a recessed can light, it gives a focused pool of light from a single MR16 source rather than a broad wash, which makes it useful as part of a planned layout of several fittings.
Because each SEIDY puts out a contained beam from one MR16 lamp, it works best in groups, spaced across a room or run along a hallway, landing or kitchen to build up even coverage rather than relying on a single point. The square 90 × 90 mm face suits compact ceiling voids and lower ceilings where a smaller aperture is wanted, and the directional MR16 source makes it a tidy choice for picking out a worktop, a feature wall or a circulation route. Plan the number and spacing to suit the room rather than expecting one fitting to light a whole space.
The frame is aluminium alloy in a matte white finish, measuring 90 × 90 × 26 mm and weighing just 116g, so it sits shallow in the ceiling. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed location. The MR16 lamp runs from a 12V supply, which means a suitable transformer is needed to step mains down to 12V. The fitting recesses into the ceiling via the square cut-out and takes a standard Gx5.3 MR16 lamp, leaving the lamp choice and any dimming to the driver and lamp specified.

Frequently Asked
Where can I use this fitting?
The SEIDY is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor use only. Use it in rooms such as hallways, kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms, but keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location.
Does it need a transformer?
Yes. It runs on a 12V supply (12 AC or 12 DC) using an MR16 lamp, so a suitable 12V transformer or driver is required to step mains voltage down. Match the transformer rating to the total load of the lamps on the circuit.
How is it installed?
It is a recessed fitting that drops into a square cut-out in the ceiling, sitting flush with the surface. The shallow 26 mm depth and 116g weight make it suited to compact ceiling voids and lower ceilings.
How do I clean the fitting?
Switch off the power and let any lamp cool, then wipe the matte white aluminium face with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents so the finish stays even.
