Tribis II GU10 Recessed Downlight - White

The Tribis II is a round recessed downlight that fits a single GU10 lamp, drawing up to 10W to give a warm 3000K glow with Ra 80 colour rendering. In US terms this is a recessed can light, sitting flush in the ceiling so only the slim white trim shows. It runs on a 220 to 240V AC mains supply and uses a PAR16 LED GU10 source, letting you pick the lamp output and beam that suit the space.

It works well across hallways, landings, kitchens and living rooms where several units in a run give even ambient light. The warm 3000K tone keeps spaces relaxed rather than clinical, so it suits bedrooms and snugs alongside busier rooms. Spacing depends on ceiling height and the GU10 lamp chosen, so plan a grid that overlaps the beams for steady coverage rather than pools of light. As an IP20 fitting it is for dry indoor ceilings only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location.

The body is steel with a white finish, measuring Ø82mm with a 22mm depth and weighing 404g. Dimmability depends on the GU10 lamp and dimmer fitted, since the fitting itself simply holds the lamp. It recesses into the ceiling on its spring clips and is rated for around 25,000 hours of life. The white trim sits neatly against most ceilings, and matching units across the Tribis range let you keep a consistent look through linked rooms.

What cut-out hole does the Tribis II need?

The downlight is Ø82mm overall, so it needs a slightly smaller cut-out hole in the ceiling for the body to drop through, with the trim then sitting flush on the surface. Check the exact cut-out figure on the spec sheet before drilling, as the cut-out is distinct from the overall trim diameter. The spring clips grip the plasterboard once the body is pushed up through the hole.

Is the Tribis II dimmable?

The fitting takes a standard GU10 lamp, so dimmability depends on the lamp and dimmer you pair with it. Fit a dimmable GU10 LED and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer to vary the brightness. With a non-dimmable lamp it runs at a fixed output.

What colour temperature does it give?

It produces a warm white 3000K light with Ra 80 colour rendering, which gives a soft, relaxed tone suited to living spaces and bedrooms. The colour is set by the GU10 PAR16 LED lamp used, so choosing a different GU10 tone changes the look. Keep the lamps matched across a run for an even appearance.

How do I clean the Tribis II?

Switch off the supply and let the lamp cool, then wipe the white trim with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners that could mark the finish. As an IP20 fitting it is for dry indoor use, so never use a wet cloth that could let moisture into the housing.
