Description The Orbis is a 100mm square surface-mount downlight with a turned aluminium body finished in brushed gold and a white diffuser recessed into the base. The fitting takes a single GX53 bulb (sold separately) and is designed as a ceiling-mounted alternative to recessed downlights where ceiling void depth is limited or non-existent. Designed for hallways, landings, kitchens and low-ceiling spaces where recessed lighting cannot be installed, the Orbis mounts directly onto the ceiling surface with the electrical connection made inside the canopy. The 100mm square footprint is compact enough for closer spacing on a grid or in a line along a corridor, while the gold finish adds warmth to interiors with brass fixtures, warm-toned wood or neutral colour schemes. The turned aluminium body acts as a heatsink for the GX53 bulb, helping to maintain performance and lamp life over extended use. The brushed gold finish has a directional grain that softens reflections compared to polished finishes. The white diffuser at the base directs light downward while reducing glare when viewed at an angle. The fitting is dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer and GX53 LED bulb. Specification Length (mm) 100 Projection (mm) 100 Dimmable Yes Number Of Bulbs 1 Bulb Type GX53 IP Rating IP20 Warranty 5 Years Frequently Asked What bulb does it take and is one included? The Orbis takes a single GX53 bulb up to the maximum wattage specified by the manufacturer. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white GX53 LED between 7-9W and 2700K-3000K. Can this be used in a bathroom? The IP20 rating means the fitting is suitable for dry indoor environments only. It is not rated for use in bathroom zones where moisture or direct water contact is present. For bathrooms, look for fittings with IP44 or IP65 ratings. Is it dimmable? Yes. The fitting itself is dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer switch and a dimmable GX53 LED bulb. Check the bulb packaging to confirm dimmer compatibility before purchasing. How is it fitted to the ceiling? The Orbis is a surface-mount downlight that fixes directly to the ceiling surface with screws. The electrical connection is made inside the canopy before the outer body is attached, so no ceiling void is required.
