Description
A shallow oval of frosted glass set in a white surround, this is one of the plainer outdoor lights we keep and none the worse for it. The frosting spreads the light so the lamp behind is not read as a bright spot, and the oval pushes that glow gently sideways rather than throwing a hard cone down the wall. It takes a single E27 lamp of up to 40W, and an LED GLS A60 is what we would fit. The shallow projection keeps it clear of shoulders and bags in a narrow spot.
Porches, back doors, side passages and the wall beside a garden gate are its natural home, anywhere sheltered where you want enough light to find a keyhole or a step. It is rated against splashing, so rain blown in under an overhang is no trouble. It suits anyone after something quiet and inexpensive rather than a feature piece, and it earns its place indoors too, in a utility room or a garage where a bare lamp would glare. Dimming is possible if you pair a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer.
White housing with frosted glass over it is a combination that stays discreet against render, brick or a painted door frame. To keep it looking right, wipe the glass with a damp cloth and dry it off once the supply is isolated and the lamp cold; outdoors it is grit, salt spray and cobwebs that dull a fitting rather than household dust. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same oval in black, and a round version in both white and black, handy if you want fittings that agree front and back without matching exactly. Lamps are not supplied.

Frequently Asked
What lamp does it take?
One E27 lamp, up to a maximum of 40W. We would use an LED GLS A60, which suits the oval shape of the diffuser and keeps running costs down.
Can I use it in an exposed position?
It is an IP44 fitting, so it copes with splashing water and driven rain under shelter. A porch, a recessed doorway or a wall under an eaves overhang is ideal rather than open, unprotected wall facing the weather.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, provided you fit a dimmable lamp and a dimmer module compatible with it. A standard non-dimmable LED will not dim and may flicker.
How big is it?
It measures 210mm across and 104mm high, with an 80mm projection from the wall, so it reads as a small, low-profile fitting.
How do I clean the glass?
Switch off at the supply and let the fitting cool, then wipe the frosted glass with a damp cloth and dry it. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams, which will haze the frosting.
What does the fitting weigh?
0.57kg, so it is a light fitting for its size.
