Davos Outdoor LED Wall Light 10W 4000K - Sand Black

The Davos is a 150mm cube outdoor wall light finished in sand black, housing two integrated LEDs that cast light both upward and downward through apertures in the top and bottom faces. The combined 20W LED output delivers 1830 lumens at 4000K, a neutral-white colour temperature that renders architectural detail and garden textures clearly without the warm amber tone of 3000K or the clinical blue edge of 5000K.

Rated IP65, the Davos withstands direct rain, coastal spray, and UK winter conditions, making it suitable for mounting on house facades, garage walls, garden boundary walls, and covered porches. The dual-beam pattern highlights brickwork or render above and below the fitting, creating vertical light stripes that emphasise building lines. On pathways and patio edges the downward beam provides functional task lighting while the upward component adds ambient fill without glare at eye level.

The sand black finish is a textured powder-coat over aluminium, giving a matte surface that minimises glare from adjacent floodlights or security lighting and resists showing fingerprints during installation. The 100mm projection from the wall and compact 150mm square footprint suit modern low-profile facades and narrow side passages where larger fittings would obstruct movement. At 1.08kg the fitting mounts directly to masonry with standard outdoor fixings without additional support brackets.

The Davos is non-dimmable and operates on standard 230V mains. The 120-degree beam angle from each LED prevents tight hotspots, distributing the 1830 lumens across approximately 3-4 metres of wall height depending on mounting position and surface reflectance.

What does IP65 mean in practice?

IP65 means the fitting is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. It can handle direct rain, garden hose spray, and coastal moisture without ingress. The Davos is suitable for fully exposed outdoor mounting on house walls, garden boundaries, and uncovered patios.

Is the LED replaceable?

No. The LED is integrated into the fitting and is not user-replaceable. The LED is rated for approximately 25,000-30,000 hours of operation, which equates to roughly 10-15 years at typical residential usage of 4-6 hours per evening.

What's the difference between 4000K and 3000K outdoor lighting?

4000K is a neutral white with a slight cool tone, similar to daylight on an overcast day. It renders colours and textures more accurately than 3000K warm white, which has an amber tone. For architectural detail and pathway lighting, 4000K provides better visibility. For ambient garden mood lighting, 3000K is often preferred.

Can this be mounted horizontally as well as vertically?

The Davos is designed for vertical wall mounting with the dual beams facing up and down. Mounting it horizontally would send the light beams sideways rather than vertically, which may not suit most applications. Check the mounting orientation before installation to ensure the beam direction matches your lighting intent.
