Alfa LED Bulkhead Light 300mm - White IP66

The Alfa is a 300mm circular bulkhead light with a white polycarbonate or resin body and a semi-opaque diffuser that distributes light evenly across the wall surface. The fitting takes a single E27 bulb (sold separately) and carries an IP66 rating, meaning it's fully protected against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets from any direction.

Designed for external wall mounting on patios, garden walls, garages, outbuildings and poolside areas, the Alfa provides functional light in exposed locations where moisture, dust and temperature variation are present. The IP66 rating makes it suitable for coastal environments and areas subject to heavy rain or washdown. The circular diffuser casts light both upward and downward across the mounting surface, creating a symmetrical spread that works well either side of doorways or spaced at intervals along boundary walls.

The 300mm diameter gives the bulkhead a substantial presence on rendered or brick walls without appearing oversized. The white finish blends into light-coloured render and painted masonry, while the polycarbonate or resin construction resists UV degradation and impact damage better than glass equivalents. The fitting is dimmable when paired with a compatible E27 LED bulb and dimmer switch, allowing output to be reduced for evening ambience or increased for task lighting around entryways and outdoor seating areas.

What does the IP66 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP66 means the fitting is fully sealed against dust and can withstand high-pressure water jets from any angle. This makes the Alfa suitable for exposed locations including coastal areas, poolside installations, and walls subject to heavy rain or occasional washdown.

What bulb should I use?

The Alfa takes a standard E27 screw bulb. For outdoor use, a warm-white LED bulb between 10-15W and 2700K-3000K provides good visibility and colour rendering. The fitting is dimmable when paired with a dimmable E27 LED and compatible dimmer switch.

Can it be mounted on any wall surface?

Yes. The Alfa mounts to brick, rendered masonry, timber cladding and composite panels using appropriate wall plugs and fixings. The base plate includes pre-drilled fixing holes and a cable entry point for surface or back-entry wiring.

How is it cleaned?

Wipe the polycarbonate diffuser and body with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface. The IP66 seal means the internal components remain protected during normal cleaning.
