The fitting takes a single GU10 bulb (sold separately) and carries an IP54 rating, protecting against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for surface mounting on soffits, canopies, porch ceilings and covered outdoor walls, the Helixis suits building entrances, garden room exteriors, and covered terrace areas where ceiling-mounted light is needed but recessed installation is impractical. The 90mm square footprint keeps the fitting compact enough for residential-scale eaves and overhangs without overwhelming the architecture. The frosted glass spreads the GU10 beam into a softer wash of light, reducing harsh shadows on steps and doorways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe powder-coated white finish resists UV degradation and corrosion from rain exposure, maintaining its appearance across seasons. The die-cast aluminium construction provides structural rigidity and heat dissipation for the bulb. The IP54 rating makes the fitting suitable for sheltered outdoor locations but not for direct submersion or prolonged heavy rain — position it under eaves or canopies rather than fully exposed roofs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Helixis is dimmable when paired with a dimmable GU10 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. Most LED GU10 bulbs between 4-7W and 2700K-3000K colour temperature suit typical residential outdoor use. The fitting is backed by a 5-year warranty from Ideal Lux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber Of Bulbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGU10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP54\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does IP54 mean for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP54 provides protection against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, making the Helixis suitable for sheltered outdoor locations such as soffits, covered porches and canopies.
