Davos Square Outdoor LED Wall Light 6W 4000K - Black

The Davos is a 100mm cube outdoor wall light with an integrated 12W LED casting 1100 lumens of 4000K cool white light through both upward and downward apertures in the sand black metal housing. The cube mounts flush to external walls with a 100mm projection, directing light along vertical surfaces to highlight texture in brickwork, render or cladding.

Designed for front doors, garage entrances, garden walls and pathway lighting, the bi-directional beam creates symmetrical light spread above and below the fitting without glare at eye level. The 4000K colour temperature reads as neutral white under evening conditions, providing clear visibility for keys, door handles and step edges. The IP54 rating protects internal components against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, making the fitting suitable for exposed positions under eaves or on open garden walls.

The sand black finish is a textured matt powder coat that resists fingerprints and hides minor scuffs better than gloss black. The compact 100mm cube footprint suits contemporary facades where minimal projection is needed, and the 0.62kg weight allows fixing directly to masonry, timber cladding or blockwork with standard wall plugs. The integrated LED has no replaceable bulb, so the unit operates maintenance-free for the lifetime of the LED module.

Is the Davos suitable for coastal or high-rainfall areas?

The IP54 rating provides protection against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for most UK outdoor locations including under eaves and on sheltered garden walls. For fully exposed coastal positions with salt spray or driving rain, an IP65-rated fitting would provide better long-term protection.

Can it be installed upside down or horizontally?

The Davos is designed for vertical wall mounting with the up-and-down beam pattern. Rotating the fitting 90 degrees would direct light horizontally rather than along the wall surface, reducing the architectural wash effect.

What colour does the 4000K light appear?

4000K is a neutral to cool white that appears brighter and more clinical than the warm white (2700K-3000K) typically used indoors. It provides good colour rendering for security and task lighting but may feel less welcoming than warm white for residential front doors.

What fixing depth is needed behind the mounting surface?

The 100mm projection includes the housing depth. A standard 35mm single-gang outdoor back box or chased cable entry behind the fitting provides sufficient space for mains connection and the LED driver.
