GU10 Recessed

GU10 Recessed Luminaires for Every Ceiling Type

A GU10 recessed spotlight consists of two parts: the luminaire that is mounted in the ceiling, and the GU10 light source that you place in it. On this page, you will find recessed luminaires with a GU10 fitting. You can order the matching GU10 LED lamps separately.

GU10 recessed luminaires are suitable for suspended ceilings made of plaster, wood, or system ceilings. They are available in various designs: round or square, with a fixed or tiltable head, with or without IP protection, and in various finishes such as white, black, or brushed steel.

Which GU10 recessed luminaire suits your situation?

The choice of the right luminaire depends on the ceiling type, the desired aesthetic, and the application. Below are the most important variants.

Standard GU10 Recessed Luminaire

A standard GU10 recessed luminaire is suitable for most suspended ceilings with a common installation depth of 65 to 90 mm. These luminaires are available in round and square versions and are suitable for both residential and commercial spaces. The cut-out size varies per model, but the most common cut-out sizes are 55 mm, 60 mm, 90 mm, and 110 mm.

GU10 Recessed Spotlight with Low Installation Depth

Is the space above your ceiling limited, for example, due to roof construction or insulation? Then choose a luminaire with a low installation depth. Always check the product page for the exact installation depth and cut-out size of the luminaire.

Trimless Recessed Spotlight GU10

A trimless recessed spotlight has no visible edge around the opening in the ceiling. This provides a sleek, seamless finish that is popular in modern interiors. Trimless luminaires are often plastered and painted so that they completely blend into the ceiling.

GU10 Recessed Spotlight for Bathroom and Outdoor Use (IP44 / IP65)

For use in a bathroom or outdoors, you need a luminaire with an IP rating of at least IP44 (splash-proof) or IP65 (resistant to water jets). Always combine this with a GU10 spot with a corresponding or higher IP rating. Both must be suitable for the intended environment.

What to look for when choosing a GU10 recessed luminaire?

• Installation depth: measure the available space above your ceiling before purchase
• Cut-out size: determines the opening you make in the ceiling — common sizes are 55 to 110 mm
• Tiltable or fixed: a tiltable head gives you more freedom in light direction, useful for accent lighting
• Design: round, square, trimless or surface-mounted; finish in white, black or steel
• IP rating: mandatory for bathroom and outdoor use
• Light source compatibility: check if the luminaire is suitable for dimmable GU10 spots

Frequently Asked Questions about GU10 Recessed Luminaires

What is the cut-out size of a GU10 recessed spotlight?

The cut-out size is the diameter of the opening you cut in the ceiling for the luminaire. Common cut-out sizes for GU10 recessed spotlights are 55 mm, 60 mm, 90 mm, and 110 mm. Always check the product page for the exact cut-out size of the luminaire you choose.

What is the installation depth of a GU10 luminaire?

The installation depth is the height of the luminaire that extends above the ceiling. This varies per model and typically ranges between 40 and 100 mm. Measure the available space above your ceiling before ordering. Luminaires with a low installation depth are available for situations where space is limited.

Do I need to order the GU10 lamp separately?

Yes. On this page, you will only find the recessed luminaires. The GU10 LED light sources can be ordered separately via our GU10 lamps collection. This allows you to choose the right light color, wattage, and design that suits your application.

Which GU10 recessed luminaire is suitable for a bathroom?

For a bathroom, you need a luminaire with at least IP44 for zone 2 (more than 60 cm from the shower head) or IP65 for zone 1 (directly above or next to the shower). Always combine this with a GU10 light source with a corresponding IP rating.

Can I also use a GU10 recessed spotlight outdoors?

Yes, provided the luminaire has an IP rating of at least IP65 and the GU10 light source is also suitable for outdoor use. For covered outdoor areas, IP44 is often sufficient. Always check the specifications of both the luminaire and the lamp.
