Bulkhead Lights

What the bulkhead range covers

Bulkhead lights for indoor and outdoor walls and ceilings, suited to hallways, bathrooms and commercial and industrial spaces. Most are integrated LED with CCT-adjustable white, so you can set warm white, cool white or daylight to suit the room. Tough polycarbonate bodies stand up to knocks, and many fittings add PIR, microwave or photocell sensors plus emergency back-up for communal areas. Chrome, brass, black and matt-black bezels and trim rings let you finish the fitting to match its surroundings, with a range of sizes to fit the space.

Plain, sensor and emergency types

A plain bulkhead gives steady, even light for a wall or ceiling. Sensor versions bring the light on by themselves: PIR and microwave models react to movement, while a photocell holds off until dusk, both useful in corridors and entrances. Emergency-rated fittings hold a charge so they stay lit if the mains drops, which suits stairwells and shared routes. Eyelid bezels and trim rings in chrome, brass or matt black let you adjust the look and shield the light.

Weather rating and mounting

Outdoor and damp-area fittings are weather-resistant, rated up to IP65 for exposed walls, with lower-rated options for sheltered indoor spots; check the rating against where the light will sit. Surface-mount a bulkhead flat to a wall or ceiling, keeping it clear of obstructions so the light spreads evenly. For a sensor model, position it where people approach and keep the lens clear. Match the bezel and trim ring to the body and the setting.

Choosing the right bulkhead

Start with the room: a hallway or bathroom has different needs from a commercial corridor or industrial bay. Decide whether you want a plain fitting, a sensor version or emergency back-up, then pick CCT-adjustable white to set the tone on site. Choose a bezel finish in chrome, brass or matt black to suit the wall, and match the weather rating to how exposed or damp the position is. Free UK delivery over £99, worldwide shipping.
