Bovolone Outdoor Wall Light - Black

The Bovolone is an outdoor wall light with a clean, modern outline: a slim black backplate, a squared L-shaped arm and a clear glass cylinder held beneath a round black cap. The body is zinc-plated steel in black, and the glass shade is fully clear, so the bulb you choose stays in plain view. It measures 34cm high and 11cm in length, and projects 15.5cm from the wall. It takes a single E27 bulb up to 60W, and the bulb is not included. With an IP44 rating it is protected from splashing water, so it is at home outdoors on a house wall.

We would put it beside a front or back door, on a porch, along a terrace or on a garden wall, anywhere you want a welcoming light to greet you after dark. Because corner mounting is possible, it can also go on the corner of the house, handy where the best spot for a light sits right at the edge of a wall. Its tall, narrow shape works with timber cladding, render and brick alike, and the clear glass shows off a decorative filament bulb particularly well. It suits anyone who wants a crisp black finish that sits comfortably beside dark window frames and door furniture.

The light has no switch of its own: it is switched at the wall, so you control it from a wall switch. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and, as a wired-in fitting, is installed by a qualified electrician. Zinc plating gives the steel body a protective layer against corrosion, and the black finish looks crisp against pale or dark walls. The packed weight is 1.77KG, a manageable load to lift into place. The installation instructions are available as a download, so you and your electrician can check the details before the work begins.
