Stobi DLP 140x140 GU10 Square Ceiling Spotlight - Black

The Stobi DLP is a square surface-mounted ceiling light that takes a single GU10 lamp rated up to 10W, running on a standard 220 to 240V AC supply. Its compact 141 by 143mm body sits 85mm proud of the ceiling, giving a tidy block form that aims a focused PAR16 beam downward. In US terms a GU10 fitting like this is the familiar twist-and-lock spotlight base, so most readily available LED spots will drop straight in. Because the lamp is separate, you can choose the colour temperature and output that suit the room rather than being tied to an integrated panel.

Its modest footprint and directional beam make the Stobi DLP a good fit for hallways, landings, small kitchens and reading corners, where a defined pool of light is more useful than broad ambient wash. Used singly it marks a doorway, alcove or worktop run; grouped in a line or grid it builds even coverage across a larger ceiling. The single-lamp output suits lower and standard ceiling heights, and you can scale the number of fittings to the size of the space rather than relying on one central source. Pairing several together lets you light a hallway evenly without harsh gaps between fittings.

The housing is aluminium alloy in a black finish, which helps it shed heat from the GU10 lamp and keeps the fitting weighing only 600g for an easy ceiling fixing. It carries an IP20 rating, so it is intended for dry indoor rooms only and should be kept out of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed location. Mounting is surface-fixed flat to the ceiling, and the GU10 lamp is user-replaceable, so you can swap output, beam or colour temperature at any time. The Stobi range also includes further sizes and multi-head versions if you need to match the look across a room.

What size room does the Stobi DLP suit?

It holds a single GU10 lamp up to 10W, so one fitting gives a focused pool of light rather than full room coverage. For hallways, landings or small kitchens it works well used singly or in a short run, and you can add more units across larger ceilings to build even brightness.

Is the Stobi DLP dimmable?

The fitting itself does not limit dimming, as it simply houses a replaceable GU10 lamp. Whether you can dim it depends on choosing a dimmable GU10 LED and pairing it with a compatible trailing-edge dimmer.

Can the Stobi DLP be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor use only. Keep it clear of bathrooms, porches, carports and any damp or exposed setting, and use a suitably rated outdoor or bathroom fitting in those areas instead.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Switch off the power and let the lamp cool, then wipe the aluminium housing with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the black finish, and replace the GU10 lamp when needed by twisting it out from the front.
