The Astro Lighting Taro Round Downlight in matt white is a fixed, IP20 fire-rated recessed fixture (90 min BS476) designed for general interior lighting. It uses a GU10 lamp (LED compatible) and installs after plastering.

The Astro Lighting Taro Round Downlight (1240024) is a sleek, reliable recessed lighting solution that prioritizes fire safety. This fixed (non-tilting) fitting comes in a versatile matt white finish, making it a discreet and elegant addition to any interior space. As part of Astro’s renowned Taro range, this downlight is built to meet stringent safety standards, featuring a 90-minute fire rating (BS476 part 21) to ensure the integrity of the ceiling structure in the event of a fire.

Designed as an earthed, Class 1 electrical fitting, the Taro is highly compatible and simple to use. It utilizes a standard GU10 lamp (not included), offering versatility by supporting both traditional halogen lamps (max. 50W) and energy-efficient GU10 LED lamps (max. 6W). When paired with a dimmable GU10 lamp, the fitting is fully dimmable, allowing users complete control over the room's ambience.

Installation of the Taro is designed to occur after plastering, offering a clean installation sequence. Note that due to its fire-rated design, this fitting is not suitable for covering with thermal insulation. With an IP20 rating, it is ideal for general indoor areas and can be installed in bathroom zone 3. The Taro downlight provides an excellent combination of minimal aesthetics, fire protection, and lighting performance.

Note: The GU10 lamp must be purchased separately. This fitting is not suitable for mounting on normally flammable surfaces.
