FAQs
What type of bulbs does the Paulmann Carolina spotlight use?
The spotlight uses GU10 base reflector lamps. You will need to purchase these separately.
What is the maximum wattage for each bulb?
Each bulb should not exceed a maximum output of 10 watts.
Is the Paulmann Carolina spotlight dimmable?
Yes, the spotlight is dimmable, but this requires using dimmable GU10 bulbs and an external dimmer switch. The spotlight itself does not contain a dimmer.
Can I use LED bulbs with this spotlight?
Yes, provided they are GU10 base LED reflector lamps and do not exceed the 10W maximum power rating per bulb. LED bulbs are often a good choice for energy efficiency.
What are the dimensions of the spotlight?
The spotlight has a width of 305 mm, a height of 124 mm, and a depth of 80 mm.
What material is the spotlight made from?
The housing material is metal.
Is this spotlight suitable for bathrooms?
This spotlight is designed for general indoor use. Specific IP ratings for moisture resistance are not provided, so it is not recommended for direct exposure to steam or water, such as in a shower area. Always check local regulations for bathroom lighting.
Troubleshooting
Spotlight does not turn on.
Check that the main power switch is on. Verify all wiring connections are secure. Ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped. Confirm that the GU10 bulbs are correctly seated in their sockets and are functional. Test with a known working bulb.
One or more bulbs do not light up.
Remove and re-insert the bulb, ensuring it's firmly seated. Check the bulb itself for damage. Try a different, known working GU10 bulb in that socket to isolate the issue to the bulb or the socket.
Light flickers or is inconsistent.
This may indicate a loose bulb or connection. Ensure bulbs are securely fitted. If dimming, check the compatibility of the bulb and dimmer. Ensure the external dimmer is functioning correctly.
Spotlight housing feels excessively hot.
Ensure the installed bulbs do not exceed the 10W maximum power rating. Allow the spotlight to cool down before touching. If the issue persists with correct wattage bulbs, there may be an internal issue; discontinue use and consult a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a surfaced lighting spot designed for ceiling mounting. Installation requires basic electrical knowledge. Ensure the power is switched off at the main breaker before beginning installation. Connect the wiring according to the included instructions and secure the mounting bracket. Once the unit is mounted, insert your chosen GU10 bulbs, ensuring they do not exceed the 10W maximum per bulb. Re-apply power and test the light.
Compatibility: The Paulmann Carolina spotlight is compatible with all standard reflector lamps featuring a GU10 base. The maximum recommended power per bulb is 10 watts. It is suitable for indoor use only. For dimming, ensure you use dimmable GU10 bulbs and an external dimmer switch.
Care: To clean the spotlight, first ensure the power is disconnected. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the metal housing and any dust from the reflectors. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. If cleaning inside the spotlight head, proceed with caution to avoid damaging the bulb socket.
