Akvo 23W LED Bulkhead Neutral White - Black

The Akvo is a rectangular LED bulkhead delivering 23W of integrated output, drawing 2750 lumens of neutral white 4000K light at an efficiency of 120 lm/W. It mounts flush to the wall and casts an even, diffused spread rather than a tight beam, which gives steady illumination across an entryway, corridor or covered porch wall. American buyers will know this format as an outdoor wall sconce or wall pack, the surface-mounted utility light that brackets a door or runs along a passage.

The Akvo suits sheltered and damp locations where a clean, low-profile fitting is needed, including bathroom walls, hallways, stairwells and the underside of a porch or carport. Because it spreads light across the wall plane rather than projecting forward, think of its coverage as area marking and orientation light, washing a passage or doorway with usable brightness, rather than as a single ambient ceiling source for a whole room. Its 2750 lumens make it bright enough to light a typical doorway approach or a short corridor run on its own, with the neutral 4000K tone keeping surfaces and signage clearly legible.

Built from aluminium alloy with a black finish, the Akvo carries an IP44 rating, so it resists splashing and handles covered or sheltered outdoor positions such as a porch or carport, though it is not intended for fully exposed sites, direct water jets or submersion. The LED array is integrated and runs directly from a 220 to 240V AC supply, with no separate bulb to replace, and the fitting is not dimmable. It is rated for around 25,000 hours of use and weighs 912g. The Akvo range includes further wall fittings in the same rectangular form for a consistent look across a property.

Can the Akvo be used outdoors?

It is rated IP44, which means it resists splashing and is suited to covered or sheltered outdoor positions such as a porch, carport or recessed doorway. It should not be fitted in fully exposed locations subject to driving rain or direct water jets, and it must not be submerged.

Does it take a replaceable bulb?

No, the Akvo uses an integrated LED array rather than a separate lamp, so there is no bulb to fit or change. It runs directly from a 220 to 240V AC mains supply and is rated for around 25,000 hours of use.

Where is this bulkhead typically used?

It works well on bathroom walls, in hallways, stairwells and corridors, and on sheltered outdoor walls like porch and carport ceilings. The 2750 lumen neutral white output gives clear, even light for orientation and entryways.

How should the fitting be cleaned?

Switch off the supply and let the unit cool, then wipe the diffuser and black aluminium body with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents, which can mark the finish, and make sure the fitting is fully dry before switching it back on.
