The Eterna Downlight Converter allows you to easily convert existing R50, R64 and R80 downlight or eyeball fittings so they accept GU10 or low-voltage MR16 spotlights.
Supplied with ceramic GU10 and low-voltage GU5.3 (MR16) lamp-holders, the Eterna Downlight Converter is usable with either type of spotlight. One advantage in this conversion is in achieving an extremely neat, low-profile finish.
GU10 mains-powered spotlights are a popular form of lamp, available with a variety of beam angles, colour temperatures, and using various modern technologies.
Low-voltage MR16 spotlights have a very diverse range of beam widths, and tend to emit a noticeably crisper light than mains equivalents. Halogen MR16 lamps also often have a cooler beam than a GU10, dissipating much of their IR heat through the back of the lamp (except aluminium-coated models).
Please note: low-voltage conversion requires a 12V transformer (available separately).
The Eterna Downlight Converter is available from Lyco in a choice of finishes.
Installation

An IP20 rating in this fitting signifies no protection against water, so it is suitable for use only in dry, indoor areas.
