Description
The Tribis II AB is a round recessed downlight that takes a single GU10 lamp, drawing up to 10W and running from a 220-240V AC mains supply. Known in the US as a recessed can light, it sets neatly into the ceiling to give a clean, flush finish with no protruding housing. The fitting works with a PAR16 LED in a warm 3000K tone, with colour rendering of Ra 80 for natural-looking interiors. Its compact Ø82mm body and 22mm depth suit shallow ceiling voids.
The Tribis II AB suits hallways, landings, kitchens and living rooms where a discreet, built-in light is wanted rather than a surface fitting. Used in groups, GU10 downlights like this one are spaced across a ceiling to build even, layered light, so the number you need depends on the room size and the brightness of the lamp fitted. As a directional spot it casts a focused pool below each fitting rather than a broad wash, which makes it useful for general ceiling lighting and for picking out worktops or seating areas. Because it is rated IP20 it is for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location.
Built from steel with a patinated brass finish, the Tribis II AB has a warm, aged metal look that sits well in traditional and transitional schemes. It recesses into the ceiling and needs a suitable cut-out for the Ø82mm housing, so check the void before fitting. The GU10 lamp is user-replaceable, and dimmability depends on the LED lamp chosen. Rated for 25,000 hours, it is a low-maintenance choice. Matching fittings are available across the wider Tribis range.

Frequently Asked
What size cut-out does this downlight need?
The Tribis II AB has an overall diameter of Ø82mm, so you will need a ceiling cut-out sized to suit this housing. Always confirm the recommended cut-out and check the ceiling void depth, as the fitting sits 22mm deep. Use the supplied template or spec sheet as your guide before cutting.
Can this downlight 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, showers, porches and any damp or outdoor location. For wet or exposed areas you would need an IP65-rated fitting instead.
Is the GU10 lamp dimmable?
The Tribis II AB takes a standard GU10 lamp, so whether it dims depends on the LED lamp you fit and a compatible dimmer switch. Choose a dimmable GU10 LED and a trailing-edge dimmer rated for LED loads. Check the lamp packaging to confirm it supports dimming.
How do I clean the fitting?
Switch off the supply and let the lamp cool, then wipe the patinated brass trim with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can mark the aged finish. A gentle wipe is usually all that is needed to keep it looking its best.
