A rechargeable wireless spotlight in this selection is controlled remotely via Casambi: the LED is integrated and no model runs on battery. The choice therefore comes down to three concrete points: the mounting (recessed or on a track), the light temperature (warm white or neutral white) and the protection rating depending on the room.
What exactly is a rechargeable wireless spotlight?
Here, wireless means remote control: these spotlights with integrated LED are Casambi-connected and are controlled without an additional control cable. No model in the selection runs on battery, so a power supply is still required. All accept a dimmer and are guaranteed for two years.
Rechargeable wireless LED spotlight: what the term covers
The phrase "rechargeable wireless LED spotlight" mixes two ideas. Wireless refers to the control link between the luminaire and its control device, not to a store of energy. The spotlight remains a luminaire connected to the mains, which switches on like any other ceiling light point, but whose intensity and sometimes temperature are adjusted from an app. If the aim is to light a corner with no power supply at all, this product family does not meet the need, and it is better to know that before drilling.
Wireless LED spotlights: what to plan for at installation
Plan a power supply at each point, space above the ceiling for recessed models, and a flat surface for a track. Because the LED is integrated, no socket protrudes and nothing is replaced on the source side: that is what gives a clean, flush face on models such as the Quo large model. To compare formats before drilling, browse the spotlights with a crafted design.
What light do these wireless LED spotlights give?
All models offer two temperatures: warm white from 2700 to 3500 K, for a soft atmosphere in a living room or hallway, and neutral white from 3500 to 4500 K, crisper above a worktop. Dimming is possible on every spotlight.
Wireless spotlights: warm white or neutral white?
Warm white leans towards amber: it rests the eye in the evening and suits rooms where you settle in, living room, hallway, dressing room. Neutral white stays whiter, without a marked blue, and renders colours accurately on a chopping board or a bathroom mirror. Many interiors mix the two: neutral above work areas, warm for the rest. The models in LED spotlights for the kitchen cover both uses in the same room.
How to adjust the intensity of a wireless LED spotlight
Dimming depends on the control device paired with the spotlight, with Casambi control allowing adjustment from the app. No dimmer is supplied as standard with the luminaires. For a hallway at night, a low intensity is enough to move around without glare; above a worktop, you go up firmly. The references in dimmable models are easy to spot in the catalogue.
Where to install a wireless spotlight: kitchen, hallway or living room?
Kitchen, hallway and living room are covered by the whole selection. For a terrace or a bathroom, aim for the two models rated IP65, Palma and Carpo, protected against splashes. The other spotlights are IP20, reserved for dry rooms.
Wireless spotlights for kitchen and hallway
In a kitchen, the spotlight goes above the preparation and circulation areas, not at the geometric centre of the room. In a hallway, it paces the progression and avoids dark patches in front of doors. The Arrow track spotlight, at 18.6 W, suits both uses, with a white, silver or black housing depending on the ceiling.
Can you have a wireless spotlight in a bathroom?
Yes, provided you choose a model rated IP65. The Palma IP65 recessed spotlight is suitable for the bathroom, outdoors and the terrace, in metal and steel, with 10.1 to 15.6 W depending on the version. The IP65 rating indicates protection against water splashes; IP20 corresponds to a dry room, which remains the case for the living room and hallway. For damp areas, do not go below IP65.
How to lay out spotlights on the ceiling?
Align the spotlights on the same line, at regular spacing, keeping a gap from the wall to avoid cast shadows. Points go above useful areas rather than at random. Adjustable models allow you to correct the angle once installation is complete.
Wireless spotlights: alignment and spacing
Mark the line with a chalk line before drilling, then repeat the same gap between each point: a regular grid reads better than improvised spacing. Near a wall, leave a margin so the light runs down the surface instead of grazing it. In a through room, two short lines are better than one line that is too long. Recessed spotlights for the living room lend themselves well to this discreet alignment.
Aiming the spotlights after installation
An adjustable spotlight is set without dismantling: turn the body to aim at a wall, a worktop or an artwork. The VIP1 Mini, 6.5 cm in diameter, fits into a narrow ceiling and remains adjustable, at 10.1 to 11.8 W. This adjustment avoids redoing the layout when furniture moves. See also the adjustable LED spotlights.
How many spotlights do you need in a kitchen?
There is no universal number: it all depends on the surface, the ceiling height and the position of the worktop. Count one point above each work area, then complete around the edges with regular spacing, favouring adjustable models for fine-tuning.
Dividing the kitchen into lighting zones
Three zones always come back: the worktop, the circulation and, if there is one, the island. Each gets its own point, which avoids lighting the void between two units. A small kitchen often makes do with two or three well-placed points; a large open kitchen benefits from separating the cooking zone from the dining zone. Recessed spotlights for the kitchen remain the most discreet solution for a continuous ceiling.
What wattage for a worktop
Wattages in the selection range from 7.2 W to 33.8 W depending on models and versions. Above a worktop, an adjustable spotlight of medium format is usually enough; the key is to aim at the surface rather than multiplying the watts. The Turt medium model, at 8.8 W and 18.6 W, illustrates this intermediate format, at 12 cm in diameter.
Recessed spotlight or track spotlight: which mounting to choose?
A recessed model sits in a ceiling cut-out and stays discreet, from the small 6.5 cm diameter format to the large 19 to 21 cm models. The Arrow track spotlight mounts on a track and moves along it, with an adjustable projector suited to areas that change.
| Model | Mounting | Suitable rooms | Protection rating | Wattage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arrow medium | On track | Kitchen, hallway, living room, dressing room | IP20 | 18.6 W |
| Arrow large | On track | Kitchen, hallway, living room, dressing room | IP20 | 24 W and 27.4 W |
| VIP1 Mini round | Recessed adjustable | Kitchen, hallway, living room | IP20 | 10.1 to 11.8 W |
| Turt medium | Recessed adjustable | Kitchen, hallway, living room | IP20 | 8.8 W and 18.6 W |
| Scop large | Recessed adjustable | Kitchen, hallway, living room | IP20 | 17 to 29.7 W |
| Palma round | Recessed | Outdoors, terrace, kitchen, hallway, living room, bathroom | IP65 | 10.1 to 15.6 W |
Recessed spotlight: the available formats
The diameter determines the size of the hole and the visual presence on the ceiling. A small module is barely noticeable; a large format covers a wider area and is chosen for a tall room. Check the body height before drilling: models protrude 7 to 14 cm above the surface depending on the reference. White recessed spotlights blend into a painted ceiling.
Arrow track spotlight: for rooms that change
The track lets you move a projector without filling a hole, which suits a kitchen whose units move or a living room that changes layout. The Arrow large comes in 24 W and 27.4 W, the Arrow medium in 18.6 W. The black finish draws a deliberate line, the white one fades away. Find these principles in spotlights in a modern style.
How to match shape, colour and style?
Round dominates the selection, followed by square, with a white finish on all models and silver, gold, black or grey variants. Style ranges from minimalist to contemporary. The simplest approach is to match the spotlight finish with the joinery and taps in the room.
White, silver, gold or black finishes
White disappears into a light ceiling, which is why it appears throughout the selection. Silver plays a discreet reflection on steel models, gold warms a room with gold-toned brassware, black creates contrast against a white background. One finish per ceiling is usually enough. Compare the white spotlights and their black version before deciding.
Which spotlight style for a understated interior
An understated interior accepts a spotlight whose shape is barely noticeable: round, flush, without frills. A more graphic interior supports the square, the double module or an exposed body. Metal spotlights hold their appearance over time and wipe clean in one go. For a more crafted result, see the models in a modern style and the white adjustable models.
| Temperature | Rendering | Rooms where it works best | Models concerned |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warm white 2700 to 3500 K | Warm light, close to a halogen | Living room, hallway, dressing room | All models in the selection |
| Neutral white 3500 to 4500 K | Whiter light, less yellow | Kitchen, worktop, bathroom | All models in the selection |

How to install and maintain a wireless LED spotlight?
These spotlights have an integrated LED: there is no bulb to replace, so no clip or spring to handle. Maintenance is limited to a dry cloth, without product. The protection rating must match the room, IP20 in dry interiors, IP65 near a water point.
Changing the bulb in a recessed spotlight without a spring: is it useful?
The question comes up often, and the answer lies in the assembly: with no separate bulb, there is nothing to unscrew or unclip. The luminaire works until the end, guaranteed for two years. If you are looking for a replaceable source, that is a criterion to check before buying, as these models do not offer one. See the recessed LED spotlights for the kitchen for the formats concerned.
Cleaning an LED spotlight without damaging it
Switch off the circuit, then wipe a soft, dry cloth over the face. No abrasive product on steel, no water jet even on an IP65. A deposit of kitchen grease comes off with a slightly damp microfibre cloth, then dry. Metal spotlights keep their finish with this simple step, with no special maintenance.
Frequently asked questions about rechargeable wireless spotlights
How do you switch on the light remotely without wires?
The spotlights in this selection are Casambi-connected: control goes through the app, with no additional control cable between the light points. Intensity adjustment is therefore done remotely, including for recessed models and for the Arrow track spotlight.
How can you have light without electricity?
No model in this selection runs on battery: wireless refers to remote control, not to the power supply. An integrated LED spotlight needs to be connected to the mains to switch on. If the lack of a socket is a constraint, this product family is not suitable.
What is the difference between IP20 and IP65?
The protection rating describes the spotlight's resistance to dust and water. IP20 corresponds to dry rooms such as the living room, hallway or kitchen. IP65, offered on Palma and Carpo, allows damp rooms, the terrace and the vicinity of a water point.
Can you install a wireless spotlight in a bathroom?
Yes, provided you choose a model rated IP65. Two references are in this selection, Palma round and Carpo round, both suitable for the bathroom, outdoors and the terrace. The other spotlights are IP20 and remain reserved for dry rooms.
What wattage of LED spotlight should you choose for a hallway?
Common formats sit between 10.1 W and 15.6 W, with large modules going up to 29.7 W and 33.8 W. For a hallway, a small diameter is often enough; the key is to distribute the points regularly rather than increase the wattage. See lighting a hallway.
