Why replacement-lamp housings are specified separately

A replacement-lamp housing is bought for the body, not for the light source: the lamp is chosen by the project for beam, colour temperature and brand, and can be replaced later without touching the housing. That is why the published kit for these references is the housing itself, while integrated track housings are published as a kit with driver box and lens.

Questions this guide answers

Do the housings come with the lamp?

The replacement-lamp housings are supplied as housing kits; the GU10, MR16 or GX53 lamp is not part of the kit and is chosen by the project.

Are GU10 and MR16 housings the same body?

They are published within the same references, which take a GU10 or an MR16 lamp. Confirm the base you need per item when ordering.

Which is used for museums and galleries?

Precision aiming with a low ceiling presence is the usual requirement there, which points at magnetic and small-aperture types; see the solutions page for how those ranges are applied.
