Davos 12W LED Outdoor Wall Light - Sand Black IP54 Dimmable

The Davos is a 100mm cube LED wall light finished in sand black, housing a 12W integrated LED that delivers 1100 lumens of 2700K warm white light through bi-directional output. The cube projects 100mm from the wall and casts light both upward and downward, creating accent bands on façades, doorways and rendered surfaces. The sand black finish is a textured matte coating over die-cast aluminium, giving a slightly rough surface that minimises reflections and fingerprints compared to gloss black finishes.

Designed for exterior wall mounting on homes, garden walls, entrances and commercial façades, the Davos carries an IP54 rating for protection against dust and water splashes from any direction. The fitting can be installed under soffits, on exposed corners, beside doorways or along boundary walls where it will face typical UK weather exposure but not direct power washing or submersion. The 12W LED is dimmable when paired with a compatible trailing-edge dimmer, allowing light output to be reduced for late-evening ambiance or increased for security illumination.

The 100mm cube is compact enough to fit on narrow pillar faces and gate posts without overwhelming the mounting surface. The bi-directional beam angle of 0-120° means the light spreads widely both upward and downward rather than concentrating into a tight spot — this makes the Davos better suited to wall washing and architectural accent than directional path lighting. The sand black finish pairs with dark-toned brickwork, graphite render, anthracite window frames and black metalwork commonly found on modern UK extensions and new-builds.

Is the Davos suitable for exposed outdoor locations?

Yes. The IP54 rating protects against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for typical outdoor wall mounting under soffits, on exposed corners, beside doorways and along boundary walls. Avoid locations where the fitting would be submerged or directly power-washed.

What dimmer is required?

The integrated LED is dimmable with a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch installed on the circuit. Not all dimmers work with all LED loads — check compatibility before purchase or contact Niori for dimmer recommendations for this specific fitting.

Does the light shine upward and downward equally?

Yes. The Davos has bi-directional output with a 0-120° beam angle, casting light both upward and downward from the cube. This creates accent bands on wall surfaces rather than a concentrated spot, making it better suited to architectural highlighting than directional path lighting.

What's the difference between sand black and gloss black?

Sand black is a textured matte finish with a slightly rough surface that minimises reflections and fingerprints. Gloss black has a smooth, reflective surface that shows more light reflections and marks. The sand finish is more forgiving in outdoor installations where dust and weathering occur.
