Description
The Belcreda is a half-moon outdoor wall light with a built-in motion sensor, cast in aluminium and finished in anthracite, a deep charcoal grey. A white plastic diffuser sits within the curved body and softens the light. It measures 33cm long and 12.5cm high, and it stands 16.5cm out from the wall. The light source is an integrated LED of 9W giving 1,200lm at 3000K, a warm white, and with the LED built into the body there is no separate bulb to buy. It is rated IP44, which means it is protected from splashing water, so it can live outdoors on a house wall.
We would put it beside a front door, a back door, a side passage or the wall above a garage door, anywhere you want light the moment you arrive without reaching for a switch. Two sensors share the work: a dusk-to-dawn sensor that reacts to daylight and darkness, and a motion sensor that brings the light up as someone approaches. That suits anyone coming home late with shopping or keys in hand, and it means the path is lit only while it is needed. Corner mounting is possible too, which helps where a porch, a bay or an extension leaves no clear stretch of flat wall.
The body is cast aluminium, and aluminium does not rust, which matters for a light that stays outside all year. The anthracite finish sits quietly against brick, render or painted walls and pairs well with dark window frames. The light is not dimmable, so the sensors do the deciding, and it runs from the mains at 220-240V, 50/60Hz, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician. Packed, it weighs 1.215KG.

Frequently Asked
Can the Belcreda go outdoors on a house wall?
Yes. It is rated IP44, which means it is protected from splashing water, so it can live outdoors on a house wall beside a door, a path or a driveway.
How does the motion sensor work?
It works alongside a dusk-to-dawn sensor, which reacts to daylight and darkness, while the motion sensor brings the light up as someone approaches the door or path.
What colour of light does it give?
The integrated LED gives a warm white at 3000K, with 1,200lm from 9W, which is a generous amount of light for a front door or a side passage.
Can the Belcreda be dimmed?
No, it is not dimmable. The motion sensor and the dusk-to-dawn sensor decide when it lights, so there is no dimmer to set.
Can it be mounted on a corner of the house?
Yes, corner mounting is possible, which is useful where a porch, a bay or an extension leaves no clear stretch of flat wall beside the door.
How big is the light?
It is 33cm long and 12.5cm high, and it stands 16.5cm out from the wall, so it suits a door surround or a narrow passage wall.
