Ascoli Triple Round
Astro’s extensive collection of spotlights is influenced by architecture, with clean, understated designs that enhance every room in your home. Whether you need a low-glare, ambient downlight or a powerful, high-output fitting for essential task lighting, there’s a spotlight for every purpose and setting. The range includes everything from single downlights to multiple bars, plus recessed and plaster designs that blend seamlessly with your décor, and adjustable fittings that can be directed precisely where you need light most. Other options include dimmable spotlights, fittings with low-maintenance, energy-efficient LEDs, and designs that can be mounted on walls or ceilings. Astro’s signature timeless finishes, including matt white, matt black and bronze, ensure these practical designs will also be an understated decorative feature.
The same lamp comes in white, nickel, black, and bronze. The base incorporates a switch. So if you need a switched wall light and don’t want a pull cord this is ideal. Be careful to buy the right one, there is a very similar design without a switch, though that has a square rather than round base. You can see a picture of that on Amazon, I don’t know why you only get to see a drawing for the switched lamp.
It is a small neat lamp, which can only be used with LED bulbs as it is limited to 6 watts. That is plenty bright enough to read by, you may want a lower rating. A halogen bulb would cause it to run very hot as there is little space between the bulb and the lamp. The fitting of the lamp to the wall is quite simple if you have the confidence to do basic mains wiring (turn the lighting circuit off first). As with all GU10 designs, it is a real pain to fit the bulb because you have to line it up accurately without being able to see what you are doing. But they last a long time so you will not often have to do this.
