Product Description
The Vivid GU5.3 7.5W Directional Plaster-in downlight is a trimless recessed adjustable twin architectural downlight with the two lights set 150mm apart, which tilts by 35° and rotates by 360. The combination of the SORAA VIVID range of light sources and Levello Light fittings gives a luminaire which is flexible, easy to maintain and has fabulous colour rendering. Once installed it has an almost invisible appearance in the ceiling, especially when used with paintable front plates.
Soraa VIVID lamps offer beautiful and accurate colour and white rendering across the entire visible spectrum, mimicking the natural range of sunlight, to deliver unmatched quality of light for colour critical applications. The GU5.3 lamps are supplied with a pre-wired Soraa Optima Driver for simple quick installation.
You can select from non fire-rated and 60-minute fire-rated options above; a variety of beam angles as well as Glare Reduction Options.
The fully interchangeable design of this product within the Levello range offers unparalleled flexibility and ease of maintenance. Luminaires, lamps, and even PIR sensors can be swapped quickly and easily, ensuring that the lighting system remains versatile and up-to-date without causing damage to the ceiling.

Product Features
Lighting Looking Fabulous
Completely Flush Finish
Once Installed, the Luminaire fits completely flush with the ceiling making it almost invisible.
Paintable Front Plates
With our unique paintable front plate option, the front of fitting blends in with the rest of the ceiling and more importantly won't become yellow with ageing, unlike other light fittings.
Simple Easy Installation
Plaster in light fittings can be challenging to install, but with our tried and tested installation method this is simple and easy.
Flexibility
Should you or your client need to change how the space is used, the light fitting can be quickly and easily swapped for one of our other products, such as a pendant.
Simply Perfect Light

Point Source Optics deliver exceptional beam quality with crisp shadows, perfect uniformity and precisely controlled beam distributions from 10° to 60°.
Soraa Vivid Colour™

industry-leading colour rendition of CRI/95, R9/95, Rf/90,
Rg/100 for precise colour reproduction.
Soraa Natural White™
Soraa VIVID lamps are engineered to deliver outstanding
whiteness rendering for true-to-life whites, which matches
or exceeds incandescent sources at 2700K and 3000K.
Easy Maintenance

What's in the box
We supply everything you need to install and fit our products with the exception of a 62mm holesaw which you will find under accessories section of our website
First Fix Housing
The First Fix Twin Housing is supplied complete with the supply connector and installation instructions. The Housings can be ordered separately so that the second fix components do not get lost on site.
Pre-wired Driver with Connectors
The Divers are supplied pre-wired with both mains and low voltage connectors and a GU5.3 lampholder, these are factory tested to ensure a simple quick installation.
Front Plate
The Front Plate (or bezel) is zinc plated before it is finished to minimise the chances of corrosion. Paintable front plates which become more or less invisible in the ceiling are available.
Directional Insert
The Directional insert comes assembled with a magnet and is supplied with a spring clip to hold the lamp in place. It rotates 360° and can be tilted to up to 35°.
Magnets
Two magnets are supplied as one magnet is fixed into the directional insert - the Levello system requires 3 magnets in total.
Decorators Cards
We supply decorators cards to protect the interior of the first fix housing from contamination from paint or plaster. See installation instructions on their use.
Soraa Vivid Lamp
The lamp will be fitted with any accessories ordered, just fit the GU5.3 lampholder, pop it into the installed housing and the magnet will guide it into place.
Installation
First Fix Installation
Installation is simple and the results will be fabulous, as long as you follow our installation steps.
The supply cable is terminated to the connector and to the earth strap of the housing. Next, the housing is permanently fixed into the ceiling. The ceiling is then plastered so the rim of the housing is flush with the plastered ceiling (see Video). Decorators’ cards are provided to protect the inside of the housing from contamination with paint or plaster (see previous picture).
Second Fix Installation
Fit the lamp into the Directional Insert (see video), plug in the connector and fit the insert into the housing. The magnets will help guide it into place.
