Description
Our Desella 1 is a compact LED outdoor wall light built around a simple cube. A white plastic diffuser sits beneath an anthracite canopy that runs down a back plate and finishes in a small lip under the box. The body is cast aluminium, and it measures 16cm long and 16cm high, projecting 19cm from the wall. The LED is integrated, drawing 10W and giving 1,200lm at 3000K, a warm white. Its IP55 rating settles where it can go: it is protected against dust and jets of water, so it lives outdoors on a house wall or a garden wall.
We would put it beside a front or back door, along a side passage, or on a garden wall overlooking a patio or seating area. The square shape and dark grey finish suit modern homes, and they sit just as comfortably against brick, render or stone. At 1,200lm it is a bright choice for a single wall light, well suited to lighting a doorstep or a path, while the 3000K warm white keeps the glow welcoming rather than harsh. It suits anyone who wants a clean, bright light by a door without a bulky lantern.
Aluminium does not rust the way steel does, which suits a light that stays outside, and the anthracite finish on the cast body has a fine, slightly textured look. The light has no switch or dimmer: it is switched at the wall and is not dimmable, so it comes on and goes off with the wall switch that controls it. As a mains light that is wired in, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. It runs at 220-240V, 50/60Hz, carries an energy class of E and has a packed weight of 1.234KG. Before fitting, allow for the 19cm projection beside an outward-opening door.

Frequently Asked
Can the Desella 1 go outside on a house wall?
Yes. It is rated IP55, which means it is protected against dust and jets of water, so it lives outdoors on a house wall or a garden wall.
Is the light dimmable?
No, it is not dimmable. It has no switch of its own and is switched at the wall, so it comes on and goes off with your wall switch.
How bright is it, and what colour is the light?
The integrated LED draws 10W and gives 1,200lm at 3000K, a warm white that feels welcoming beside a door or along a path.
Does it need a bulb?
No. The LED is integrated into the light, so there is no separate bulb to buy, and the light runs at 220-240V, 50/60Hz.
How big is it?
It is 16cm long and 16cm high, and it projects 19cm from the wall, so allow room for it beside a door that opens outwards.
What material and finish is the body?
The body is cast aluminium in an anthracite finish, a dark grey, with a white plastic shade around the integrated LED.
