Lars LED Outdoor Wall Light - Black

The Lars is a 240mm LED outdoor wall light built from die-cast aluminium with a matt black powder-coated finish and a white polycarbonate diffuser panel. An integrated 14W LED module inside the housing casts 3000K warm white light through the polycarbonate, creating upward and downward wash patterns on the wall surface. The IP65 rating protects the internal LED and wiring against water jets from any direction and complete dust ingress.

Designed for front door surrounds, porch walls, garage entrances and garden perimeter walls, the Lars provides ambient wash lighting rather than focused task light. The 130mm width and 50mm projection suit rendered, brick and cladded wall surfaces where a low-profile fitting is needed. The die-cast aluminium body resists corrosion in coastal and high-humidity environments, and the sealed construction prevents moisture entering the LED chamber. Installation requires a standard outdoor junction box or wiring block behind the wall — the fitting mounts via two concealed fixings on the rear backplate.

The black finish absorbs daylight, allowing the fitting to recede against darker wall colours, while the white polycarbonate diffuser panel creates a contrast stripe when lit at night. The rounded-rectangle profile with curved edges softens the geometric form, making the Lars compatible with both contemporary brick builds and rendered modern facades. The 3-year warranty covers the LED module, driver and housing against manufacturing defects.

Is the Lars suitable for use in bathrooms?

The IP65 rating means the fitting can withstand water jets from any direction, making it acceptable for outdoor installation and wet locations. For bathroom use, check that the mounting position complies with UK bathroom zone regulations — IP65 is generally acceptable for zones 1 and 2, but positioning relative to baths and showers matters.

Can the LED be replaced?

The LED module is integrated into the housing and is not user-replaceable. The module is rated for approximately 30,000 hours of operation. If the LED fails within the 3-year warranty period, contact Elstead Lighting or the retailer for a replacement unit.

What light output does the 14W LED provide?

The 14W LED at 3000K provides ambient wash lighting on the wall surface rather than focused illumination. Exact lumen output is not specified in the product data, but 14W integrated LEDs in this category typically deliver between 800-1,200 lumens depending on the optical design.

How is it wired?

The Lars requires a mains 230V supply terminated in a standard outdoor junction box or wiring block behind the wall. The fitting mounts via two concealed fixings on the rear backplate, and the mains cable feeds through a rear knockout. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
