Asten 600x110 12W LED Bulkhead Cool White - Black

The Asten is a slim rectangular LED bulkhead that runs at 12W from a 220-240V AC supply and puts out 910 lumens of 4000K cool white light. American buyers will recognise the format as an outdoor wall sconce or compact wall pack, a low-profile fitting that sits close to the wall rather than projecting from it. Its wide X120/Y105 degree spread washes light evenly across the surface below, and the integrated LED array means there is no separate bulb to replace over its 25,000 hour rated life.

Measuring 600 x 110 x 42 mm and weighing just 270 g, it suits hallways, stairwells, utility rooms and entrance areas where a clean horizontal line of light is wanted. The cool white tone reads as a crisp, neutral light that keeps circulation spaces and thresholds clearly lit. Its IP44 rating extends use to sheltered outdoor positions such as a porch, carport or covered passage, and to splash-prone bathroom zones, though it is not built for fully exposed walls, direct water jets or anywhere it would be submerged.

The body is aluminium alloy in a black finish, giving a sturdy housing that resists everyday knocks and sits discreetly against darker walls. It mounts directly to the wall and is wired straight to mains, with no external driver to position. This model is not dimmable, so it is best paired with a standard on/off switched circuit. The wide diffused beam and sealed IP44 build make it a practical pick for both indoor and sheltered outdoor duty across the wider Asten range.

Can the Asten be used outdoors?

Yes, in sheltered positions. Its IP44 rating handles splashes and damp, so it is fine under a porch, carport or covered entrance. Keep it clear of fully exposed walls, direct rain and water jets, as it is not sealed for those conditions.

Is a bulb included or does it need one?

No separate bulb is needed. The Asten uses an integrated 12W LED array that produces 910 lumens, so there is nothing to fit or replace. The LEDs are rated for around 25,000 hours of use.

Where is this bulkhead typically used?

It works well in hallways, stairwells, utility rooms and entrance areas indoors, and in covered outdoor spots like porches and carports. The 600 mm rectangular form gives an even horizontal band of cool white light suited to circulation and threshold areas.

How do I clean the Asten?

Switch it off and let it cool, then wipe the diffuser and aluminium housing with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh solvents that could mark the black finish. A periodic wipe keeps the light output bright.
