Firenze Outdoor Wall Light - Black IP54

The Firenze is an outdoor wall light with a swan-neck arm in black die-cast aluminium, supporting a conical hood over a clear glass globe that houses a single E27 bulb (sold separately). The IP54 rating protects the fitting against dust ingress and splashing water from any direction, making it suitable for covered porches, patios, doorways and veranda positions where direct rain exposure is limited.

The swan-neck bracket extends 400mm from the wall, placing the light source forward of the mounting surface to illuminate pathways, steps and entrance areas without creating harsh shadows against the building facade. The clear glass globe allows the bulb itself to contribute to the decorative character of the fitting, so most installations pair the Firenze with warm-white LED filament bulbs or traditional Edison-style incandescent bulbs to replicate period street lighting aesthetics.

The black finish is powder-coated onto die-cast aluminium, providing corrosion resistance in coastal and high-humidity environments. The wall bracket carries decorative detailing on the backplate and finial, lending the fitting a traditional character that suits both period properties and contemporary builds seeking outdoor lighting with classical proportions. The conical hood prevents direct upward light scatter, keeping illumination focused downward for functional task lighting rather than ambient wash.

Can this be used in fully exposed outdoor locations?

The IP54 rating means the fitting is protected against dust and splashing water, but not direct rain exposure or water jets. Install the Firenze under covered porches, eaves, verandas or patio canopies where it receives shelter from direct rainfall. Fully exposed wall positions require IP65 or higher.

What bulb should I use?

The fitting takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W, sold separately. Most users choose a warm-white LED filament bulb (2200K-2700K) rated at 4-8W to replicate traditional incandescent appearance while reducing running costs. The clear glass globe makes the bulb visible, so decorative filament bulbs enhance the period aesthetic.

How is the fitting mounted?

The backplate fixes to the wall with two screws (not supplied) through a standard electrical back box or directly into masonry using wall plugs. The cable feeds through a central knockout in the backplate. The 400mm projection means the fitting sits well clear of most wall surfaces, avoiding shadows against the building.
