Klampenborg 1 Light Pedestal with PIR Sensor - Black

The Klampenborg is a 337mm outdoor pedestal light with an integrated PIR motion sensor, built from 304-grade stainless steel with a black powder-coated finish. A clear glass cylinder surrounds the E27 bulb fitting, topped by a wide conical shade that directs light downward while the PIR sensor beneath the shade detects motion in a 120-degree arc up to approximately 8 metres.

Designed for front paths, driveways, gate posts and low garden walls, the Klampenborg activates only when motion is detected, providing security lighting without running continuously through the night. The 275mm shade diameter gives enough coverage to light a path width of 1-1.5 metres when mounted at typical pedestal height, while the IP44 rating protects the internals from rain and splashing water. The sensor sensitivity and duration are typically adjustable via controls on the lamp holder assembly.

The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in coastal and damp environments better than mild steel alternatives, while the powder-coated black finish hides fingerprints and weathering. The pedestal mounts onto a flat post cap or pier via a base plate with fixing holes, and requires standard UK mains wiring to an E27 lamp holder inside the glass cylinder. Elstead Lighting backs the fitting with a 15-year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects.

What bulb does it take and is one included?

The Klampenborg takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W warm-white LED bulb rated for outdoor use.

Can the PIR sensor be adjusted?

Most PIR sensors on this style of fitting allow adjustment of sensitivity and duration via small dials or switches on the lamp holder assembly inside the glass cylinder. Check the fitting instructions for the specific controls on this model.

What detection range does the PIR sensor have?

PIR sensors on pedestal lights typically detect motion in a 120-degree arc up to 8 metres. Detection range can be affected by mounting height, sensor angle, and environmental factors such as wind-blown foliage.

Is the fitting suitable for coastal locations?

The 304-grade stainless steel core provides better corrosion resistance than mild steel, making it suitable for coastal and damp environments. The IP44 rating protects against rain and splashing but does not make the fitting submersible or suitable for locations with direct salt spray exposure.
