Split GX53 Spotlight 84mm - Black

Description

DescriptionRound, black and just 84mm across, this is a small spotlight that sits low and quiet overhead. It takes one GX53 lamp, the flat disc sort, and that shallow lamp shape is what keeps the body so short. A maximum of 12W means an LED is the sensible choice, and that is what we would fit here. It is not dimmable, so give it a plain on-off switch rather than a dimmer circuit.
Small round spotlights like this earn their keep where a ceiling is low or a room is tight: a hallway, a landing, a boot room, the run above a kitchen worktop, or a line of them down a corridor. The shallow body reads as part of the ceiling rather than something suspended from it, which suits flats, loft rooms and anywhere headroom is precious. A single fitting will do for a cloakroom or a shelf recess, while several spaced out will cover a bigger floor evenly. If you are grouping them, keep the spacing even and the light stays comfortable rather than patchy. We keep this one to dry rooms indoors, well away from shower spray and anywhere it might catch the weather.
The black finish keeps it discreet against a pale ceiling, and the fitting is double insulated. It carries a one year warranty. Upkeep asks little: with the power off and the lamp cool, a dry cloth over the outside is enough, and nothing needs polishing. Lamps are supplied separately. We stock the same round version in white, and the wider Split range runs on into smaller GU10 spotlights and pendants in black and white, if you want one family of fittings working through several rooms.

How big is the fitting?
It measures 84mm in diameter and stands 80mm tall, so it stays compact on the ceiling.
Can it be dimmed?
No. It is a non-dimmable fitting and should be run from a standard on-off switch.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry rooms. A bathroom would need a fitting with a higher moisture rating in the relevant zone.
How do I keep it looking right?
Switch off at the wall and let the lamp go cold, then wipe the black body with a soft dry cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams.
Is there another finish?
