Snap ring / Spring ring Ø50 mm for MR16 & GU10 overview

The snap ring / spring ring Ø50 mm for MR16 and GU10 is a practical spare part for recessed spotlights and downlights. It reliably holds the inserted light source in the recessed frame and is particularly suitable for replacing a lost, bent, or damaged retaining ring.

The sturdy design made of metal and spring steel ensures a secure fit for the spotlight and prevents the light source from falling out unintentionally. The silver-colored retaining ring is suitable for both LED and halogen spots and can be easily clipped into a compatible recessed frame.

Reliable hold for recessed spotlights

As a retaining ring for recessed spotlights, the spring ring performs an important mechanical function: it secures the light source in the recessed frame and ensures that the spot remains securely in position even when changing the bulb or in the event of slight vibrations.

Ideal as a replacement for damaged retaining rings

Robust metal design with easy assembly

The spring ring is made of metal or spring steel and is dimensionally stable and rust-proof. For installation, the appropriate light source is first inserted into the recessed frame and then the tension ring is clipped in. This allows the retaining ring to be mounted quickly without complex fastening methods.
