Description
The Sone is a solar-powered LED bulkhead built for outdoor walls, drawing on a 3.2V DC supply from its integrated panel rather than mains wiring. It puts out up to 15W with a luminous flux reaching 2200 lm at a neutral 4000K, throwing a wide 90 degree spread of light across the surface in front of it. Measuring 270 x 49 x 306 mm, it sits flush against the wall and casts an even wash without a harsh hotspot. In North American terms a fitting of this kind is closer to an outdoor wall pack than a decorative sconce, giving security-grade output from a self-contained unit.
Because it carries its own solar charge and battery, the Sone suits locations where running a cable would be awkward: garden walls, garage and shed elevations, side passages, gateposts and boundary fences. The 90 degree beam and up to 2200 lm output are aimed at marking and securing an entrance or pathway rather than lighting a room, so think of it in terms of throw across a doorway, drive or yard rather than a measured floor area. Mounted at typical doorway or eaves height, it covers an approach and the immediate ground below it well, and several units can be spaced along a longer wall or fence line.
Construction is moulded ABS, chosen to shrug off weather without corroding, and the fitting is rated IP65 so it copes with direct rain and wet, fully exposed positions outdoors. The integrated LED and 3.2V DC solar arrangement means there is no external driver or transformer to specify and no mains feed to run, while the rated 25,000 hour lifespan keeps replacement intervals long. At 2.68 kg it wall-mounts on fixings appropriate to the surface. The Sone is part of our wider Kanlux outdoor wall range if you need matching fittings across a property.

Frequently Asked
Can this bulkhead be used outdoors and in wet locations?
Yes. The Sone is rated IP65, which means it is protected against dust and direct water jets, so it is suitable for fully exposed outdoor walls as well as sheltered spots. It is well suited to garden walls, garages, sheds, gateposts and boundary fences.
Does it need mains wiring or a separate driver?
No. It is solar-powered and runs on a 3.2V DC supply from its own integrated panel and battery, with no external driver or transformer required. That makes it easy to position where running a mains cable would be difficult.
Where is the best place to mount it?
It is designed for outdoor walls and mounts at typical doorway or eaves height to mark and secure an entrance, drive or pathway. The 90 degree beam casts a wide wash, so for longer runs you can space several units along a wall or fence line. Position the solar panel where it gets good daytime sun.
How should it be cleaned and maintained?
Wipe the ABS housing and the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, leaves and grime, as a clean panel charges more efficiently. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface, and check periodically that the fixings remain secure on the wall.
