V-TAC VT-796-B GU10 surface-mounted ceiling light, black aluminium cylinder 142 × 100 mm

The V-TAC VT-796-B is a surface-mounted ceiling light with a black cylindrical aluminium body. Its round housing surrounds the position for a GU10 bulb, while the open lower end leaves the face of the fitted bulb visible. This is a fitting for a replaceable light source, rather than a light with one predetermined colour temperature or brightness.

A cylinder below the ceiling surface

The documented size is 142 × 100 mm. Compare those dimensions with the intended mounting position and spacing between lighting points, particularly when planning several fittings across one ceiling. Surface mounting keeps the body visible below the ceiling instead of concealing it within a cut-out. This distinction matters when choosing between an exposed cylindrical fitting and a recessed spotlight.

The black finish and plain round profile give the fitting a clearly defined outline without ornamental details. Its form suits modern and minimalist interiors where the visible lighting hardware is part of the composition. This is specifically the black version of VT-796-B; photographs of other finishes should not be taken as references for the variant being ordered.

Choose the GU10 bulb for the lighting task

The fitting accepts a GU10 light source and is specified for a 230 V supply. Brightness, light colour and beam characteristics depend on the bulb selected. Match that choice to the intended lighting task rather than treating socket compatibility as a complete lighting specification. A GU10 base alone does not establish luminous flux or dimming support. A photograph showing an installed bulb illustrates the assembled appearance, but does not confirm what is supplied in the package.

Placement, connection and care

The distributor identifies residential and commercial uses, including hotels, bars and restaurants. At home, the cylinder can be considered as a ceiling lighting point in a living room, dining room or hallway. The number of fittings and choice of bulbs should follow the room's lighting requirements; no fixed coverage area can be assigned to this housing alone.

Electrical connection must be carried out by a suitably qualified person with the supply disconnected. The instructions require protection against water entering the fitting. Before cleaning, disconnect the power and allow it to cool. Wipe the housing with a soft, slightly damp cloth, keep moisture away from electrical parts and reconnect only after it is fully dry.
