Klampenborg Outdoor Wall Light Silver E27 - IP44 Rated

The Klampenborg is an outdoor wall light with a 275mm diameter shade in powder-coated silver-finished stainless steel, mounted on a swan-neck arm that projects 420mm from the wall. A clear glass globe sits beneath the metal shade, housing a single E27 bulb (sold separately). The 304-grade stainless steel construction and IP44 rating make the fitting suitable for exposed positions including coastal locations where salt spray and corrosion are concerns.

Designed for front porches, garage entrances, garden walls and exterior stairways, the Klampenborg provides downward-directed light through the clear glass while the wide metal shade prevents direct glare and shields the bulb from rain. The 420mm projection places the light away from the wall, giving better spread across pathways and entrance areas compared to flush or shallow-projection fittings. The swan-neck arm and wide shade proportion suit period properties, coastal cottages and Scandinavian-influenced architecture.

The powder-coated silver finish over stainless steel provides a mid-tone metallic that sits between bright chrome and darker graphite, pairing with both painted render and natural stone or brick facades. The clear glass allows the full output of the bulb to pass through, making it straightforward to control brightness and colour temperature by bulb choice — warm white 2700K for traditional settings, cooler 4000K for contemporary minimalist schemes.

What does the IP44 rating mean?

IP44 means the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against water splashes from any direction. It can be fitted in fully exposed outdoor positions, including under eaves, on open walls, and in coastal locations where it will encounter rain and spray.

What bulb does it take?

The Klampenborg takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W LED in 2700K for warm white light or 4000K for a cooler tone. Maximum recommended wattage depends on the bulb type — check the rating label inside the fitting.

How far does it project from the wall?

The fitting projects 420mm from the wall to the furthest point of the shade. This places the light source well away from the wall surface, giving better downward and outward light distribution than shallow-projection fittings.

Is it suitable for coastal locations?

Yes. The 304-grade stainless steel construction with powder-coated finish is designed to resist corrosion in coastal environments where salt spray and higher humidity accelerate the degradation of lower-grade metals.
