Description
The Seidy Compact is a square recessed spotlight that takes a single MR16 lamp through a Gx5.3 cap, running on 12V AC or DC at up to 10W. As a recessed fitting it sits flush in the ceiling, with the trim showing only a slim square frame at 90 × 90 mm and a 26 mm body depth above the line. Builders in the US would recognise this as a low-voltage MR16 can-style spot, though the focus here is on the lamp choice rather than an integrated module, so beam angle and brightness follow the MR16 lamp fitted rather than a fixed output.
Because it accepts the buyer's own MR16 lamp, the Seidy works well wherever a directional accent is wanted: picking out artwork, shelving or a kitchen worktop, or building a run of evenly spaced spots across a hallway or living-room ceiling. The 12V supply makes it a tidy fit for setups already running a low-voltage transformer, and its compact square footprint suits tighter ceiling layouts or closely grouped arrangements. Coverage depends entirely on the MR16 lamp chosen, so a tight-beam lamp throws a focused pool for accent work while a wider beam lifts general ambience across a small zone. It is an indoor fitting only and is not suitable for bathrooms, porches or any damp or outdoor position.
Construction is aluminium alloy in a black matt finish, giving a low-key trim that recedes into darker ceilings. The fitting is rated IP20, confirming its dry indoor remit, and runs at 12V so it pairs with a separate low-voltage transformer sized to the lamp load. Installation is by recessed mounting into the ceiling, and at 118 g it is light to position. Dimming behaviour follows the MR16 lamp and transformer combination chosen rather than the fitting itself.

Frequently Asked
Where can this spotlight be used?
The Seidy Compact is rated IP20, so it is for dry indoor use only. It suits ceilings in living rooms, hallways, kitchens and bedrooms, but should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location.
Does it come with an MR16 lamp?
No, the fitting takes a separate MR16 lamp with a Gx5.3 cap, which lets you choose the wattage up to 10W, the colour temperature and the beam angle to suit the space. Running on 12V, it also needs a low-voltage transformer sized to the lamp load.
What beam angle does it give?
Beam angle is set by the MR16 lamp you fit rather than the fixture. A narrow-beam lamp gives a tight, focused pool for accenting artwork or shelving, while a wider beam spreads light for general illumination across a small area.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the black matt aluminium trim with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth once the lamp is cool and the power is off. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can mark the matt finish over time.
