German term

BÜGELSTRAHLER

German to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation Lighting design
Judging from the images, this appears to be the type of spotlight that is fixed to the wall/ceiling by a bracket. But what do we call that in EN?

I can't offer any context as this is a stand-along term from a product catalogue.

Thank you!

wall-mounted/ceiling-mounted spotlight

"the type of spotlight that is fixed to the wall/ceiling by a bracket" I think we just call that a wall-mounted/ceiling-mounted spotlight. The trend seems to be to include both terms, to make things nice and clear for the english-speaking public, and just "mounted spotlight" refers to something a bit more... I don't know, specialist?

But google image for bügelstrahler doesn't show /exactly/ the same things as (wall/ceiling)-mounted spotlights, in particular it seems to be more into multiple spotlights on the same frame, possibly running, so I'm not convinced that this essentially literal translation is really the right answer.
Peer comment(s):

agree Darin Fitzpatrick : This works - the details of the product are not defined by the name. Could also use "wall spotlight" or "ceiling spotlight", as in e.g. IKEA.

Adjustable spotlight

After having googled, it seems that the main feature of a Bügelstrahler is that it is adjustable by tilting.
