01 / The feeling
Precision Where You Need It
This sleek matt black spotlight brings industrial-inspired elegance to any modern interior. The adjustable cone directs light exactly where you need it, creating dramatic accents that highlight your favourite artwork, architectural features, or cherished possessions. Whether you're illuminating a minimalist kitchen, a contemporary hallway, or a cosy reading nook, its sculptural aluminium form becomes a striking design feature in its own right.
The Genesis is built to last, with premium aluminium construction that's both lightweight and robust. Its dimmable capability lets you fine-tune the ambience from bright task lighting to a subtle glow, whilst the compact 155mm diameter and 60mm height make it perfect for rooms with lower ceilings. The GU10 lampholder accepts readily available bulbs, making maintenance wonderfully straightforward. Surface-mounted and hardwired for a clean, professional finish.

02 / Find its place
A small footprint.
A lasting impression.
Just 16 cm wide, with a 6 cm drop. Enough presence to anchor a table, small enough to live under.
Try the size before you buy
Mark a 16 cm circle on the floor with removable tape and look up from where you will sit. It hangs 16 cm below the ceiling — hold a tape measure up to check the headroom.
Rated IP20 — dry indoor spaces only, so not for bathrooms or outdoors.

Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
Does this spotlight need to be installed by a qualified electrician?
Yes, as this is a hardwired ceiling spotlight, installation falls under Part P of the Building Regulations in England and Wales. Unless you're a competent person registered with a scheme like NICEIC or NAPIT, you'll need a qualified electrician to carry out the installation and certify the work. The Genesis mounts directly to your ceiling wiring, typically connecting to an existing ceiling rose or junction box.
What type of bulb does this spotlight take and is one included?
This spotlight uses a GU10 bulb with a maximum wattage of 35W, but no bulb is included in the box. You'll need to purchase a GU10 bulb separately—we'd recommend an LED GU10 for energy efficiency, which typically uses around 4-6W whilst delivering the equivalent light output of a traditional 35W halogen. The fitting is fully dimmable, so ensure you choose a dimmable GU10 if you plan to use it with a dimmer switch.
Can I use this spotlight in a bathroom?
No, this spotlight is rated for indoor use only and lacks an IP rating, making it unsuitable for bathroom zones where moisture protection is required. For bathrooms, you'd need a fitting with at least an IP44 rating (or IP65 for shower zones). This Genesis spotlight is ideal for dry indoor areas such as kitchens, hallways, living rooms, or bedrooms.
What are the dimensions and how far does it protrude from the ceiling?
The Genesis measures 155mm in diameter and has a height of just 60mm, making it a low-profile flush-mount spotlight. It sits relatively close to the ceiling, ideal for rooms with standard or lower ceiling heights where you want directional lighting without a bulky fitting protruding into the space.
How adjustable is the spotlight and can I change the direction after installation?
The Genesis features 330° rotation and tilt adjustment, allowing you to direct the light beam precisely where needed even after installation. You can easily reposition it by hand to highlight artwork, architectural features, or different areas of a room without any tools. This makes it particularly versatile for accent lighting or task lighting that you might want to adjust over time.
Will this work with my existing dimmer switch?
This fitting is dimmable, but compatibility depends on both your dimmer switch and the GU10 bulb you choose. Most modern LED dimmers will work well, but older dimmer switches designed for halogen bulbs may cause flickering or buzzing with LED GU10s. For best results, pair a dimmable LED GU10 bulb with a trailing-edge LED-compatible dimmer switch, and check the dimmer's minimum load matches your bulb wattage.
