Iper LED 26W Ø260 Round IP65 Bulkhead - White

The Iper LED is a round surface bulkhead that fixes to a wall or ceiling and pushes out 3120 lumens from a 26W integrated LED array. The light is neutral white at 4000K with a wide 120 degree spread, so it washes a doorway, porch or passage evenly rather than throwing a narrow beam. Across the Atlantic a fitting of this kind is the everyday outdoor wall pack or wall sconce, and at 120 lm/W it does that job on a modest draw. Running on 220 to 240V AC, it is a self-contained unit with no separate lamp to fit.

Outdoor entrances, porches, stairwells, garages and shared external corridors all suit this fitting, as do covered walkways and the underside of canopies where a flush ceiling mount works better than a wall position. Because it casts a broad even glow rather than a directed beam, it is best judged on the surface it covers rather than a room area figure: the 120 degree distribution lights the wall or threshold it sits on and the ground immediately in front of it. For a continuous run along a long elevation or corridor, space several units so the pools of light overlap and avoid dark gaps between them.

Construction is a moulded plastic body with a diffused round cover, finished in white and measuring 260mm across by 55mm deep at a weight of 644g. The IP65 rating means it is sealed against dust and low-pressure water jets, so it copes with fully exposed and wet outdoor positions, while the IK10 rating gives strong resistance to impact in busy or public locations. The fitting is not dimmable and carries a rated life of 50,000 hours. The wider Iper LED range includes further wattages and diameters in the same white finish if you need to match fittings across a site.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. The Iper LED is rated IP65, which means it is sealed against dust and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. That makes it suitable for fully exposed outdoor walls and ceilings as well as damp and wet locations such as porches, garages and external stairwells.

Does it take a separate bulb?

No. This is an integrated LED fitting with the light source built in, so there is no E27 or other lamp to buy or replace. The array is rated for 50,000 hours of use, after which the whole unit is replaced rather than re-lamped.

Where is this type of fitting typically used?

Bulkheads like this are common on building entrances, porches, communal stairwells, garages and covered walkways. The wide 120 degree spread and the IK10 impact rating also make it a sound choice for shared and public areas where a robust, evenly lit fitting is needed.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the round cover with a soft damp cloth and a little mild detergent, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents on the white plastic, and make sure the power is off before cleaning a fitting mounted at height.
