Spot Housings

A spot housing is a flush-mounted or surface-mounted spot luminaire body that holds and frames a separately fitted light source, such as a GU10-socket LED bulb, in the ceiling. It is used in homes, stores, hotels and offices to create recessed point lighting in plasterboard or suspended ceilings and surface-mounted point lighting on concrete ceilings; a burnt-out bulb is replaced without removing the luminaire. The category includes ACK and Cata brand flush-mounted housings with aluminum, metal + PC and PC bodies, decorative surface-mounted models and decorative glass spots; models with a stated socket type are GU10, and products are listed in housing colors such as white, black, gold and chrome. Choose the housing by the cut-out dimension in the ceiling (for example ø 65 mm or ø 70 mm) and the flush mounting depth, socket type, flush or surface mounting, housing material, and housing and reflector color. These IP20 housings are for dry indoor spaces; wet areas and outdoor use require a higher IP rating. A spot housing is not an integrated LED spot luminaire with the LED fixed into its body; confirm before ordering whether the socket and bulb are included with the product.
