Description
The Simen Ø80 is a round recessed spotlight fitting that takes a single GU10 or MR16 (Gx5.3) lamp up to 10W, letting you choose the lumen output, colour temperature and beam angle by selecting the bulb to suit. As a recessed fitting it sits flush in the ceiling and directs a focused pool of light downward, which makes it a tidy way to build a run of accent or general lighting. Across the Atlantic this style of trim sits within the recessed can light family, the fixed downward holder that a separate lamp slots into. The fitting runs on either 12V AC, 12V DC or mains 220-240V AC, so it works with both low-voltage and mains GU10 lamps.
The Simen suits living rooms, hallways, kitchens and bedrooms where a low-profile recessed point is wanted rather than a surface fitting. Because it is an IP20 fitting it is for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location. The throw and spread depend entirely on the lamp fitted, so a wide-beam MR16 gives soft general fill while a narrow beam draws the eye to artwork, a worktop edge or an alcove. A line of several fittings spaced evenly along a ceiling builds layered light across a room without a single dominant source.
Built from aluminium alloy, the Simen is a compact fitting measuring Ø75 by 42mm and weighing 80g, shallow enough for most ceiling voids. It is supplied as the holder only, so the GU10 or MR16 lamp and any low-voltage transformer are chosen to match the chosen voltage and output. Dimming follows the lamp and any control circuit fitted rather than the holder itself. The finish is a two-tone black and white, and the round form keeps the trim discreet once installed. The Simen sits within a wider range of recessed spotlight fittings for matching a scheme across rooms.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Simen take and is it included?
The Simen accepts a single GU10 or MR16 (Gx5.3) lamp rated up to 10W. The fitting is supplied as the holder only, so the lamp is bought separately, which lets you pick the wattage, colour temperature and beam angle you want.
Can the Simen be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. The Simen is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor rooms only. It should not be installed in a bathroom, shower zone, porch or any outdoor or damp location.
What beam angle does it give?
The beam is set by the lamp you fit rather than the holder. A wide-beam MR16 spreads light for general room fill, while a narrow-beam lamp creates a tighter spotlight for accenting artwork, shelving or a worktop edge.
How do I clean the fitting?
Switch off the circuit and let any lamp cool, then wipe the visible trim with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can mark the black and white finish.
