Meet our new ceiling king

It’s the ideal replacement for the familiar Ø50mm GU10 spotlights: our new Ø50 mm LED spotlight. It may look small, but it offers big performance, which gives it added value for every light fitter and end user. As you can probably tell: we’re proud of our ceiling king, although it sometimes made us want to pull our hair out during the development phase.

The challenge during development was making the spotlight dimmable, because the stability of the many LED modules and the dimmers available on the market both left a lot to be desired. We already had a universal LED dimmer in our arsenal, and we thought: why not develop our own light module that could compete with anything on the market today? So that’s what we did.

The right material
The first step was to search our network for the right supplier, and then plan out the project together. We chose ceramics for the material: it’s relatively inexpensive, has a high insulating value (safety), and gave us the option of putting the driver inside the lamp.

Back to the drawing board
We had high expectations for the first test on our sample, but we were sorely disappointed. Our dimmer’s performance was instable, especially when used with multiple LED fixtures. So to make a long story short: after several hopeful attempts, going back and forth to the drawing table, we finally had our ‘Eureka!’ moment and found the product we were looking for: an excellent, stable dimmable LED spotlight that dims almost all the way to ‘off’, and is guaranteed not to flicker.

Plug-and-play
We gave the lamp a terminal block with a strain relief for fast and secure connection to a 230V power supply. It’s easy to connect without a screw, and can be installed in the blink of an eye. Ideal for every fitter!

Compact size
The spotlight’s dimensions are very small: only 26 mm high (31 mm including the cable thickness), with a built-in driver. That makes it perfect for almost any ceiling application.

The specifications are:

  • 50 mm spotlight to replace GU10 light sources

  • Stable and flicker-free

  • Only 26 mm high

  • Terminal block: 66 x 28 x 26.5 mm

  • Cable: 15 cm


Tip: For the perfect dimming result, use our universal Triac LED dimmer (item number 215-131).
