Description
Astro Taro Round Adjustable 1240028 Matt White Fire-Rated GU10 Downlight
Create flexible and discreet directional ceiling lighting with the Astro Taro Round Adjustable 1240028. Finished in Matt White, this recessed fire-rated downlight combines a clean circular bezel with an adjustable GU10 lamp position, allowing the light beam to be aimed towards walls, furniture, artwork, architectural details or specific areas of a room.
Unlike a fixed recessed downlight, the Taro Round Adjustable provides approximately 15° of tilt and 360° of rotation. This makes it suitable for installations where the direction of the light may need to be adjusted after fitting.
The neutral Matt White finish blends naturally into white and pale-coloured ceilings, while the compact 100mm circular bezel provides a clean appearance for homes, apartments, hotels, restaurants, retail areas and other dry interiors.
90-Minute Fire-Rated Adjustable Downlight
The Astro Taro Round Adjustable provides a 90-minute fire rating tested to BS 476 Part 21.
When an opening is cut into a fire-resistant ceiling, the ceiling’s ability to restrict the spread of fire may be reduced. A correctly installed fire-rated downlight is designed to help maintain the tested fire resistance of the ceiling system around the opening.
The fitting is therefore suitable for relevant residential, hospitality and commercial projects where a tested fire-rated recessed ceiling light is required. The surrounding ceiling construction, installation method and building specification must also be compatible with the stated fire rating.
Adjustable Directional Ceiling Light
The adjustable lamp holder provides:
- Approximately 15° tilt adjustment
- Full 360° rotational adjustment
- Directional illumination after installation
- Flexible positioning of the GU10 light beam
- Improved control compared with a fixed downlight
This makes the Astro Taro Round Adjustable suitable for directing light towards:
- Artwork and photographs
- Feature walls
- Kitchen worktops
- Dining tables
- Wardrobes and storage areas
- Hotel room furniture
- Decorative architectural details
- Retail displays
- Reading and seating areas
- Hallway features
The final spread and intensity of the light depend on the GU10 lamp selected.
Matt White Circular Downlight
Product code 1240028 is supplied in a Matt White finish. The simple circular bezel is designed to remain visually discreet within a light-coloured ceiling.
Its clean appearance suits:
- Modern living rooms
- Bedrooms
- Hallways and corridors
- Dining rooms
- Kitchens in dry ceiling locations
- Hotel guest rooms
- Apartments and residential developments
- Restaurants and hospitality interiors
- Retail and commercial interiors
- Bathroom zone 3 installations
The main fitting is manufactured from mild steel and has an approximate visible diameter of 100mm.
Replaceable GU10 Lamp
The Astro Taro Round Adjustable requires one GU10 lamp, which is sold separately.
This replaceable-lamp design allows customers, electricians and lighting designers to choose the preferred:
- Lumen output
- Colour temperature
- Colour-rendering quality
- Beam angle
- Energy consumption
- Dimming capability
- Lamp lifespan
Astro lists a maximum lamp rating of 1 × 50W GU10 and a maximum lamp length of 57mm. Astro also lists a 4.1W 2700K dimmable LED GU10 as a compatible modern lamp option.
Suitable lamp choices may include:
- 2700K GU10 LED for warm decorative lighting
- 3000K GU10 LED for clean warm-white illumination
- 4000K GU10 LED for cooler functional lighting
- High-CRI GU10 LED for more natural colour appearance
- Narrow-beam GU10 for concentrated accent lighting
- Wide-beam GU10 for broader room coverage
- Dimmable GU10 LED for adjustable light levels
Dimmable GU10 Downlight
The Taro Round Adjustable can be dimmed when fitted with a compatible dimmable GU10 lamp and connected to a suitable dimmer.
Dimming performance depends on the selected lamp and dimming control. A compatible combination allows the user to increase brightness for practical tasks or reduce the output for softer evening and ambient lighting.
Lamp-Dependent Brightness and Colour
The Astro 1240028 does not contain an integrated LED.
The following specifications depend entirely on the GU10 lamp selected:
- Lumen output
- Colour temperature
- CRI rating
- Beam angle
- Wattage
- Lamp life
- Dimming performance
This gives installers greater flexibility than an integrated LED fitting because the lamp can be replaced or changed later without replacing the complete downlight.
86mm Circular Ceiling Cut-Out
The Astro Taro Round Adjustable requires a round 86mm ceiling cut-out.
The official dimensions are approximately:
- Visible bezel diameter: 100mm
- Main fitting depth: 147mm
- Required recess depth: 167mm
- Round cut-out diameter: 86mm
- Gross weight: 0.44kg
- Maximum lamp length: 57mm
The ceiling void should be measured before installation to confirm that sufficient depth and clearance are available for the fitting, wiring and GU10 lamp.
