Cell Outdoor Motion Sensor Wall Light - Graphite

The Cell is an outdoor wall light with an integrated PIR motion sensor mounted on the backplate. The graphite-finished aluminium frame forms a rectangular cage around a single E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately), with the light directed upward through a transparent polycarbonate diffuser. The sensor activates the light when movement is detected within its detection zone, typically 8-12m depending on mounting height and angle.

Designed for entrance porches, garage walls, driveways and side passages where security lighting is needed, the Cell combines motion-activated function with a modern cage aesthetic. The upward light projection highlights wall surfaces and eaves above the fitting rather than casting direct glare at eye level, which suits contemporary flat-roofed extensions, rendered facades and brick elevations. The IP65 rating protects internal components against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making the fitting suitable for exposed positions.

The aluminium frame measures 31cm high by 20.2cm long by 11.5cm deep, giving the fitting a defined presence on the wall without overwhelming narrow side passages. The graphite finish is a dark grey-black powder coat that weathers consistently in UK coastal and urban environments. The transparent diffuser allows full light transmission from the bulb, so pairing the fitting with a warm-white E27 LED bulb (3000K recommended) gives ambient upward wash light when motion is detected. The sensor's sensitivity and duration settings are typically adjustable via controls behind the backplate.

Product Manual

What bulb does it take?

The Cell takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 15W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most installations pair this with a warm-white LED bulb (3000K) between 8-12W for ambient outdoor lighting when the sensor triggers.

Can the motion sensor settings be adjusted?

Typically yes, though the exact controls depend on the specific sensor module. Most PIR sensors on outdoor wall lights allow adjustment of detection sensitivity, duration (how long the light stays on after detecting movement) and sometimes ambient light threshold. See the product manual for the specific controls on this model.

What's the detection range of the sensor?

PIR motion sensors on wall-mounted outdoor lights typically detect movement within 8-12m, depending on mounting height and the angle of approach. Detection is most reliable when movement crosses the sensor's field of view rather than approaching head-on.

Is the IP65 rating suitable for fully exposed positions?

Yes. IP65 protects against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making the Cell suitable for walls exposed to rain. It is not submersible (which would require IP67 or higher), but it handles standard UK weather conditions including coastal salt spray.
