Klampenborg Outdoor Wall Light with PIR Sensor - Black

The Klampenborg is an outdoor wall light with an integrated PIR motion sensor, built from 304-grade stainless steel and finished in powder-coated matt black. The swan-neck arm extends 420mm from the wall, suspending a clear glass shade beneath a downward-angled metal hood. An E27 bulb (sold separately) sits inside the glass, visible through the clear shade when lit.

Designed for front doors, porch areas, garage entrances and pathways where security lighting is needed, the PIR sensor detects movement within a typical 8-10m range and switches the light on automatically for a preset duration before switching off again. This reduces energy use compared to dusk-to-dawn photocell fixtures and provides illumination only when required. The IP44 rating protects the internals from rain and splashes, making the fitting suitable for any exterior wall with overhead shelter or full exposure.

The 304-grade stainless steel frame resists corrosion in coastal and exposed environments where cheaper mild steel or aluminium fittings would pit and corrode within a few seasons. The powder-coated black finish adds a protective layer over the stainless substrate and gives a low-sheen matt appearance that pairs with traditional brick, rendered walls and timber cladding. The clear glass shade allows maximum light output downwards and outwards, with the metal hood preventing upward glare. The combined 420mm projection and 255mm height suit standard UK doorways and porch canopies without overwhelming smaller entrance areas.

Elstead Lighting backs the Klampenborg with a 15-year warranty, reflecting the corrosion-resistant construction and outdoor-rated assembly. The fitting accepts any standard E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to 60W, giving flexibility to choose light temperature and brightness based on the application.

What bulb does it take and is one included?

The Klampenborg takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are not included. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for porch and entrance lighting.

How does the PIR sensor work?

The integrated PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor detects movement within approximately 8-10m and switches the light on automatically. After a preset duration (typically adjustable during installation), the light switches off again. This provides security lighting on demand without leaving the light on continuously.

Is it suitable for coastal locations?

Yes. The 304-grade stainless steel construction resists corrosion in coastal and salt-spray environments where mild steel or aluminium fittings would corrode. The powder-coated finish adds further protection.

What does the IP44 rating mean?

IP44 means the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (dust and insects) and water splashes from any direction. It is suitable for outdoor use in exposed or sheltered positions, including areas without overhead canopies.
