Description
The Vidi B 5514 is a round recessed downlight that takes a single MR16 lamp on a GX5.3 cap, running on 12V AC or DC. It accepts a lamp rated up to 10W, so the exact lumen output and beam depend on the MR16 you fit, which lets you set the brightness and spread to the spot. With a slim 25mm body and a 77mm overall diameter, it sits flush in the ceiling once the lamp is in place. In US terms a fitting of this kind is what you would shop for as a recessed can light, here built around the standard low-voltage MR16 format.
This downlight is made for dry interior rooms, where it works well as part of a grid of fittings rather than as a single source. Spaced across a hallway, kitchen, landing or living room ceiling, several of these build up an even wash of light, and the low-voltage MR16 format gives you the freedom to mix beam angles for general fill and tighter accenting in the same run. Because the output is set by the lamp you choose, plan the layout around the number of fittings and the MR16 wattage rather than a fixed figure, and keep ceiling depth in mind so the 25mm body clears any joists or services above.
The body is aluminium alloy in a black matt finish, giving a low-key trim that recedes into a dark or painted ceiling. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry indoor use only and should be kept out of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed location. The fitting recesses into the ceiling and is staked to a 12V supply, so it needs a suitable low-voltage transformer rated for the connected MR16 load. The GX5.3 holder takes a standard MR16 lamp, which is supplied separately, and weighs just 36g. Other finishes and lamp options sit alongside this model in the Vidi range.

Frequently Asked
What size cut-out does this downlight need?
The fitting has an overall diameter of 77mm and a depth of 25mm, so allow a ceiling cut-out just under this to let the trim sit flush. Always check the recess against the actual fitting before cutting, and make sure there is enough clearance above the ceiling for the body and the lamp.
Does it come with the bulb?
No, the lamp is supplied separately. The fitting takes a standard MR16 lamp on a GX5.3 cap rated up to 10W, so you can choose the wattage, colour temperature and beam angle to suit the room. Whether it is dimmable depends on the MR16 lamp and the transformer you pair with it.
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, shower zones, porches and any damp or exposed location, and choose an outdoor-rated fitting for those areas instead.
How do I clean the fitting?
Switch it off and let the lamp cool, then wipe the black matt trim with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and solvents, which can mark the finish, and never use water near the lamp holder or low-voltage connections.
