Crisvenne Outdoor Wall Light - Black

The Crisvenne is an outdoor wall light with a clean, architectural outline: a tall rectangular backplate, an arched arm and a round black collar holding a clear glass cylinder. The body is steel in a black finish and the shade is clear glass, so whichever bulb you choose stays in full view. It stands 38cm high, measures 11.5cm in length and projects 13cm from the wall. It takes a single E27 bulb of up to 28W, and the bulb is not included. With an IP44 rating it is protected from splashing water, so it belongs outdoors on a house wall.

We see it working hardest by the front door, where it lights the step and the keyhole, and on either side of a garage or a set of patio doors, where a matched pair looks considered. The clear glass makes the bulb part of the design, so a decorative filament bulb turns the light into a feature after dark, while a frosted bulb gives a softer, more even glow. Black sits comfortably against most exteriors, from pale render and grey brick to timber cladding. It suits anyone who wants a porch or garden light that looks deliberate rather than purely practical.

The light has no switch of its own: it is switched at the wall, so you control it from an ordinary wall switch. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz, and because it is wired into the household mains it is installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a PDF download. Steel gives the body a rigid, solid frame, and the packed weight is 1.648KG. When you choose a bulb, keep it to an E27 cap at 28W or less; a warm white will make the clear glass glow gently by the door. Have that bulb ready before fitting day, since one is not included.
