Description
A round outdoor bulkhead in the Daru range, this one sets an opal white diffuser inside a plain anthracite frame that splits the face into neat segments. It measures 27cm across and sits close to the wall, with a shallow projection that keeps it clear of shoulders and doorways. The lampholder is E27, taking up to 40W, and we would put an LED candle in it for a soft, even glow through the opal.
It earns its keep by a back door, a porch, along a side passage or on a garage wall, wherever you want steady light rather than a beam. Sealed against dust and splashing water, it is happy in an exposed position as well as under a canopy. There is no switch on the body, so it works from an indoor switch or whatever control you already have on the circuit, and it will dim if the lamp and dimmer suit each other. It suits anyone after quiet, low-cost outdoor lighting that does not draw the eye in daylight.
The frame carries an anthracite finish that sits well against brick, render and dark cladding, and the opal white diffuser hides the lamp from view. Keep it looking right by wiping the diffuser and frame down each season with a damp cloth and mild soap once the power is off and the fitting is cool; cobwebs and leaf dust are the usual culprits. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same framed face in sand white, and the range also runs to plain and eyelid fronts in both finishes if you are fitting several around a house. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamp should I use in it?
It takes one E27 lamp up to 40W. An LED candle of the C35 shape is the one we would reach for, as it sits neatly behind the opal diffuser.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you pair a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer on the circuit. With a standard non-dimmable LED it simply runs at full output.
How far does it stand off the wall?
The body projects 78mm, so at 27cm in diameter it reads as a shallow disc rather than a bulky box.
Is it suitable for an unsheltered wall?
It is rated for outdoor use with protection against dust and splashed water, so a wall without a canopy is fine. It is not made for immersion or pressure washing.
How do I clean the opal diffuser?
Isolate the power, let the lamp cool, then wipe the outer face with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Dry it off to avoid water marks on the anthracite frame.
What else is in the range?
There are sand white and anthracite versions of the framed, plain and eyelid fronts, all taking a single E27 lamp.
