SEIDY Twin Recessed MR16 Spotlight Wide Rectangular 170x90 - Black Matt

The SEIDY is a twin recessed spotlight that takes two MR16 lamps on a Gx5.3 base, each rated up to 10W, running on 12V (AC or DC). Its wide rectangular frame measures 170 x 90 x 42 mm and sits flush in the ceiling, with two heads set side by side so each lamp can be angled to throw light where it is wanted. With MR16 reflector lamps the beam stays directional, making this a focused fitting rather than a broad wash of light. In US terms an MR16 recessed twin like this reads as a low-voltage recessed spotlight, driven from a 12V supply.

Because the throw is directional, the SEIDY suits picking out a feature, a run of artwork, a shelf or a worktop edge rather than lighting a whole room evenly. Two adjustable heads in one plate let you cross-light a single area or split the beams across two points, so a pair of these along a hallway or above a kitchen run builds a sequence of focused pools. The exact spread depends on the MR16 lamps chosen, so beam angle is set by the lamp rather than the fitting. It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry indoor ceilings and clear of bathrooms, porches or any damp or exposed position.

The body is aluminium alloy in a black matt finish, recessed into the ceiling so only the slim rectangular frame shows below the line. It runs at low voltage on a 12V AC or DC supply, which means an appropriate transformer or driver must feed it from the mains. Lamps are not integrated, so the two Gx5.3 MR16 reflectors are specified separately and can be swapped for a different output or beam as needs change. The unit weighs 254 g. SEIDY is offered in further head configurations across the range for matching single and twin layouts.

Can this spotlight be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. The SEIDY is rated IP20, which covers dry indoor use only. Keep it out of bathrooms, porches, carports and any damp or exposed position, and fit it to dry interior ceilings.

Are the bulbs included, and which type does it take?

The lamps are not supplied, so two MR16 reflector bulbs on a Gx5.3 base are specified separately. Each head takes a lamp rated up to 10W, which lets you choose the output, beam angle and colour temperature to suit the room.

What beam does it give and how do I aim it?

The two heads are individually adjustable, so you can cross-light one feature or aim each beam at a separate point. The actual beam angle comes from the MR16 lamp you fit rather than the fixture itself, so pick a narrow lamp for accent work or a wider one for a softer spread.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Switch off the supply and let the lamps cool, then wipe the black matt aluminium frame with a soft dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can mark the matt finish, and check the lamps are seated correctly when you refit them.
