The Astro Taro Square Adjustable Downlight in matt white is a premium, IP20 fire-rated recessed fitting (90 min BS476) with a 35° tilt and 360° rotation, perfect for directional lighting with GU10 LED lamps.
The Astro Lighting Taro Square Adjustable Downlight (1240030) is an exceptional choice for those who require both the safety of a fire-rated fitting and the flexibility of directional lighting. Unlike fixed downlights, this model features an inner round spotlight that offers 35 deg of tilt adjustment and 360 degrees of rotation, allowing you to precisely focus the light beam where it is needed most, whether highlighting artwork or illuminating a workspace.
This square recessed fitting boasts a substantial 90-minute fire rating (BS476 part 21), ensuring it helps maintain the integrity of the ceiling structure in the event of a fire. It is designed for simple connection to 230V mains voltage and is rated as a Class I earthed fitting. The Taro uses a standard GU10 lamp (max 50W halogen or 6W LED, not included), providing cost-saving and energy-efficient lighting options.
Finished in a clean matt white, the 100mm×100mm square profile is aesthetically pleasing. Installation is designed to occur after plastering for a clean finish. The fixture is IP20 rated, making it suitable for general interior use and bathroom zone 3. When combined with a dimmable GU10 lamp, the Taro is fully dimmable, offering comprehensive control over the ambient light levels.
Note: The GU10 lamp must be purchased separately. This fitting is not suitable for mounting on flammable materials or for covering with thermal insulation.
