Klampenborg 1 Light Outdoor Wall Light with PIR - Silver

The Klampenborg is a single-light outdoor wall lantern with an integrated PIR motion sensor, built from 304-grade stainless steel powder-coated in silver. A curved swan-neck arm extends 420mm from the wall to support a shallow conical shade and clear glass cylinder around the E27 bulb fitting, which sits exposed beneath the shade canopy.

Designed for front doors, side entrances, porches and garage approaches, the PIR sensor activates the light automatically when motion is detected within its field of view, providing hands-free security lighting without needing a separate switch or timer. The 275mm-diameter shade casts downward light onto the area immediately below the fitting while the clear glass allows the bulb to be visible from multiple angles. The IP44 rating protects the fitting from rain and water splashes from all directions, making it suitable for exposed wall positions in coastal and inland UK climates.

The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in salt-air environments and handles freeze-thaw cycling without finish degradation. The powder-coated silver finish sits between polished stainless and matt grey, providing a neutral tone that pairs with white render, painted timber cladding, brick and stone facades. The swan-neck profile gives the fitting a traditional Scandinavian lantern appearance while the exposed bulb and simple geometry keep the design clean rather than period-specific. Elstead backs this fitting with a 15-year warranty.

What bulb does it take and is one included?

The Klampenborg takes a single E27 bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for outdoor ambient and security lighting.

How does the PIR sensor work?

The integrated PIR sensor detects motion within its field of view and automatically switches the light on when movement is detected. The sensor's range and sensitivity depend on the specific PIR module — most outdoor PIR sensors detect movement up to 8-12 metres. The light typically remains on for a preset duration after the last detected movement before switching off.

Is it suitable for coastal locations?

Yes. The 304-grade stainless steel construction is designed to resist corrosion in salt-air environments. The IP44 rating protects the fitting from rain and water splashes, making it suitable for exposed coastal positions in the UK.

What's the 420mm projection measured from?

The 420mm projection is measured from the wall surface to the furthest point of the fitting — in this case, the outer edge of the shade canopy. Allow at least 500mm of clearance from the wall when planning the installation to avoid the fitting obstructing pathways or door swings.
