GU10 Recessed

GU10 Recessed Fixtures for Every Ceiling Type

A GU10 recessed spotlight consists of two parts: the fixture that is mounted in the ceiling, and the GU10 light source that you place inside it. On this page, you will find recessed fixtures with a GU10 fitting. The matching GU10 LED lamps are ordered separately.

GU10 recessed fixtures are suitable for suspended ceilings made of plasterboard, 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 Fixture Suits Your Situation?

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

Standard GU10 Recessed Fixture

A standard GU10 recessed fixture is suitable for most suspended ceilings with a common installation depth of 65 to 90 mm. These fixtures are available in round and square designs and fit 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 fixture with a low installation depth. Always check the product page for the exact installation depth and cut-out size of the fixture.

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 fixtures are often spackled and painted so that they completely blend into the ceiling.

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

For use in a bathroom or outdoors, you need a fixture 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 Consider When Choosing a GU10 Recessed Fixture?

• 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 fixture is suitable for dimmable GU10 spots

Frequently Asked Questions about GU10 Recessed Fixtures

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 fixture. 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 fixture you choose.

What is the installation depth of a GU10 fixture?

The installation depth is the height of the fixture 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. Fixtures 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 fixtures. The GU10 LED light sources are ordered separately via our GU10 lamp collection. This way, you can choose the right light color, wattage, and design that suits your application.

Which GU10 recessed fixture is suitable for a bathroom?

For a bathroom, you need a fixture 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 fixture 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 fixture and the lamp.
