Manufacturer’s product description
With its LED recessed spotlight,Bojim offers a set that can be connected directly to 230V and therefore does not require an additional transformer. The flat design is particularly practical, as it can be installed even with a low installation depth of around 35 mm. With an output of 7 watts per spotlight, it produces good light that is pleasant for living spaces such as living rooms, kitchens, or hallways. The dimmability allows the brightness to be flexibly adjusted to suit the mood and time of day. The swivel mechanism allows the spots to be precisely aligned, which is useful for accent lighting or illuminating specific areas. Another advantage is energy efficiency, as LEDs consume significantly less power than halogen spotlights.
Overall, this is a product that combines functionality, flexibility, and efficiency in a compact format.
Advantages
- Easy installation
- High-quality workmanship
- IP44 waterproof
- Dimmable and swiveling

When opening the box, the clean and structured packaging immediately catches the eye. Each spotlight is individually wrapped in cardboard and plastic film, which adds no value. The film could have been omitted and the product would still have arrived intact. A short instruction manual in several languages is also included, but unfortunately it does not explain the installation process very clearly. The English version is good, but unfortunately the German translation is unusable. However, the individual boxes give the impression of holding a high-quality product in your hands. Even when unpacking, it is clear that the manufacturer pays attention to the quality of the spotlights and wants to offer customers an all-round positive unpacking experience.

The spotlight housing is made of sturdy metal that feels stable and durable. The surface is evenly painted, with no visible scratches or rough edges. The spring mechanisms for installation also appear solid and are easy to operate. The simple, modern design is particularly striking and blends inconspicuously into various room styles. The light emission surface is clearly defined, creating an even light cone. On closer inspection, it becomes apparent that no cheap plastic parts dominate, but rather that high-quality materials have been chosen. Overall, the workmanship gives the impression that the spotlights are designed for long-term use.

Bojim advertises easy installation, dimmable function, and high energy efficiency —and these points are confirmed in practical testing. Direct connection to 230V works without any problems and without the need for a transformer. The dimmability is also compatible with common dimmers and allows for stepless adjustment of brightness. Power consumption remains low, while the light output is absolutely sufficient for living spaces. In addition, the installation depth specifications are accurate, which makes planning easier. A long service life is also promised, which can only be definitively assessed after years of use, but the solid workmanship indicates reliability. Overall, it can be said that the manufacturer largely lives up to its claims and delivers a product that meets expectations.
