AXIS-G GD01 gimbal downlight at 150lm/W — recessed COB head for supermarket aisles.

AXIS-G Recessed Gimbal LED Downlight

GD01 series · 10-35W · 150lm/W · CRI90 · 24°/38°/60°

The AXIS-G GD01 is a high output gimbal downlight for supermarkets, built for 3–6m store ceilings in hypermarkets, chain supermarkets and warehouse-style stores — only a white trim ring sits flush with the ceiling while the black heatsink and spring clips hide above it, so long aisles read as one calm ceiling plane with no protruding heads.

This recessed COB gimbal downlight runs 10W to 35W (1500lm to 5250lm) at 150lm/W with CRI over Ra90, taking over aisles still lit by CDM-T metal-halide and halogen cans — and its tilting eyeball throws 24° shelf accent, 38° produce wash or 60° aisle fill from the same cutout.

AXIS-G Gimbal Downlight vs Spotlight for Supermarket Ceilings

A spotlight hangs its hardware below the ceiling — protruding heads and tracks stay visible, catch dust and throw side glare down wide supermarket aisles. The AXIS-G GD01 works the opposite way: the black finned heatsink and spring clips disappear into the cutout, leaving only a flush white ring and a tilting eyeball shoppers barely notice. Low gondola ends that still want a forward push keep the adjustable KOLA-S for low shelves; everything above 3m belongs to recessed gimbal.

AXIS-G vs Other Recessed Downlights in the Same Ceiling

Small-bore tiltable heads run out of reach in high stores — the IRIS-R tops out at 32W through 55–115mm cutouts, built for boutique walls, while AXIS-G pushes 35W and 5250lm through 95–175mm cutouts for 6m bulk halls. For compact boutique accent see the tiltable IRIS-R for boutique accent; if high-ceiling supermarket wash see AXIS-G. Fixed heads are the other trap: a fixed downlight only fires straight down, so every moved display leaves a dark wall — checkout queues and seating corners where shoppers linger take the fixed DL01 for checkout queues, selling floors take aimable AXIS-G.

One AXIS-G family covers the whole store plan: 10–20W heads wash 3–5m gondola aisles and fresh produce walls, 25–35W heads carry entrance atria and bulk halls to 6m. When the season changes the layout, staff re-aim each eyeball from below in minutes — no new cutouts, no re-cabling. Across the whole store, the full downlight range for shops mixes recessed gimbal, fixed and surface heads without mixing light quality.

GD01 Wattage and Cutout Choices for 3–6m Ceilings

Match wattage to ceiling height first.

• 10W head 1500lm cutout 95mm — standard 3m aisles and produce walls
• 15W head 2250lm cutout 110mm — 3–4m sales floors and gondola runs
• 20W head 3000lm cutout 125mm — 4–5m open halls where throw eats lumens
• 25W head 3750lm cutout 145mm — 5m atriums and entrance courts
• 35W head 5250lm cutout 175mm — 6m bulk halls and warehouse-style stores

All five share Black/White finishing, so one ceiling can mix wattages without mixing looks.

Then aim by task, not by ladder. A 24° beam picks out a gondola end or promo stack from the gimbal tilt, 38° washes shelf faces and produce walls, and 60° opens up for even aisle fill between accent points. Because every AXIS-G GD01 head re-aims from below in minutes — tilt toward the new hero bay, twist the beam, done. This recessed COB gimbal downlight ships exactly this 10–35W range as recessed adjustable heads.
