Description The Hoop Twin is a twin-aperture rectangular recessed downlight with a matt black aluminium frame and two GX53 lamp fittings. The rectangular plate measures 220mm x 110mm and recesses 45mm into the ceiling, sitting flush with the plaster line once installed. Each aperture accepts a standard GX53 bulb up to 15W (bulbs sold separately). Designed for kitchens, hallways, retail spaces and offices where directional downlight is needed in pairs, the twin-aperture format delivers more light coverage from a single ceiling cut-out than two separate downlights. The fixed bezel means the light direction is locked straight down, making this fitting suited to general task lighting over worktops, counters and desks rather than accent or feature lighting. The IP20 rating restricts use to dry interior locations only. The matt black aluminium bezel and plastic housing give the fitting a low-profile appearance against dark or mid-tone ceilings, with the twin circular apertures forming a symmetrical outline when viewed from below. The 220mm length spans typical joist spacing in UK residential construction, allowing the fitting to be positioned between joists without additional support. The aluminium construction dissipates heat from the GX53 bulbs more effectively than all-plastic housings.

The Hoop Twin takes two GX53 bulbs, each up to 15W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this fitting with LED GX53 bulbs between 7-11W for energy efficiency and reduced heat output. What ceiling depth is needed? The fitting recesses 45mm into the ceiling void, so a minimum 50mm of clear space above the plasterboard is required for safe installation. The 220mm x 110mm aperture must also be cut to exact dimensions for the bezel to sit flush. Can it be used in bathrooms? No. The IP20 rating restricts use to dry interior locations only. For bathrooms, an IP44 or IP65 rated downlight is required depending on the zone. Is the light direction adjustable? No. The Hoop Twin is a fixed downlight, meaning the bezels are locked in position and direct light straight down. For adjustable beam direction, a tiltable or gimbal downlight is needed.
