Description
The Biso is a wall-mounted exterior light fixed to a house front, entrance or garden wall, drawing 8W to deliver 375 lumens at a neutral 4000K white. Its form sends light in two directions, casting a beam up the wall and a beam down towards the ground, which grazes the surface above and below the fitting. American buyers will recognise this up-and-down format as an outdoor wall sconce, a popular way to frame a doorway or break up a plain façade after dark.
Fixed to a wall at around head height or just above a door, the Biso suits porches, entrances, covered patios and sheltered courtyard walls where a pair of crossed beams adds depth to brickwork or render. The twin throw works best either side of a front door or spaced along a long exterior wall, where each fitting reads as a column of light rather than a flat wash. Because the light is directional rather than ambient, think of it as architectural accenting for the surface it sits on, not general area lighting, so position it where the up and down beams have a wall to play against.
The body is aluminium alloy in a white finish, measuring 220 x 90 x 80 mm and weighing 580 g, with an IP54 rating that handles splashes and sheltered outdoor positions such as a porch or carport. It is not built for fully exposed walls facing direct rain or water jets, so keep it under some cover. The integrated LED runs direct from 220 to 240V AC mains, is rated for 25,000 hours and is not dimmable. Other White finishes and matching exterior fittings sit alongside this model in the wider Biso range.

Frequently Asked
Can the Biso be used outdoors?
Yes, the Biso carries an IP54 rating, so it copes with splashes and damp in sheltered outdoor positions such as a porch, entrance or carport. Keep it out of fully exposed spots facing driving rain or direct water jets, as IP54 covers splash resistance rather than full weather exposure.
What is the up and down light effect?
The fitting throws one beam upward and one downward from the wall, creating two pools of light that graze the surface above and below it. This adds texture to brickwork or render and frames a doorway, which is why it is usually mounted either side of an entrance or spaced along a wall.
Does it take a replaceable bulb?
No, the Biso uses an integrated LED rather than a separate bulb, drawing 8W to produce 375 lumens at 4000K neutral white. The LED is rated for 25,000 hours, so there is nothing to swap out during normal use.
What mounting height suits it best?
Fix the Biso to a wall at around head height or just above a door so both the up and down beams have surface to wash against. Spacing several along a longer wall at a consistent height gives an even rhythm of light across the façade.
