Daba 16W LED Bulkhead IP66 - White

The Daba is a round LED bulkhead built around an integrated 16W board, putting out 1300 lumens of neutral 4000K light through a wide 120 degree spread. The optic is diffuse rather than directional, so it washes a doorway, wall or soffit evenly instead of throwing a tight beam. North American buyers will recognise this format as a wall pack or outdoor wall sconce, the kind of fixed, sealed fitting used on building exteriors. At Ø300 by 87 mm it sits close to the surface and reads as a simple disc on the wall or ceiling.

Its even, low-glare output suits entrances, porches, stairwells, corridors and the walls of car parks, sheds and outbuildings, where the priority is reliable illumination of a threshold rather than lighting a whole room. The 120 degree beam means a pair spaced along a passage gives continuous cover with no dark gaps between fittings, and the neutral white tone keeps signage and steps clearly legible. Because this is a doorway and wall marker rather than ambient room lighting, judge placement by the area you need lit at the surface, mounting it at head height or just above for an entrance and higher on open external walls.

The body is moulded polycarbonate in a white finish, rated IP66 against dust and powerful water jets and IK10 against impact, so it stands up to fully exposed outdoor positions, coastal weather and knocks in service areas. It mounts directly to a wall or ceiling with the LED driver built in, drawing 220 to 240V AC with no separate transformer to specify, and the rated life is 40,000 hours. This model is not dimmable. The Daba range runs across several wattages in the same sealed white housing for matching a run of entrances and external walls.

Can the Daba be used outdoors?

Yes. It carries an IP66 rating, which means it is sealed against dust and strong water jets, so it is suitable for fully exposed outdoor walls and ceilings as well as damp and wet locations. The IK10 rating also gives it strong resistance to impact in service areas and car parks.

Does it need a separate driver or transformer?

No. The LED driver is built into the fitting and it runs directly from a 220 to 240V AC mains supply, so there is nothing extra to source or wire in. You simply connect it to the mains at the mounting position.

Where is this bulkhead typically fitted?

It works well on porches, entrances, stairwells and corridors, and on the external walls of garages, sheds, car parks and outbuildings. The wide 120 degree spread lights doorways and thresholds evenly, and several can be spaced along a passage for continuous cover.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Wipe the polycarbonate diffuser and body with a soft damp cloth and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads or solvents that could mark the surface. Make sure the fitting is switched off and cool first, and keep the seal intact so the IP66 weatherproofing is maintained.
