Lart 160 Square E27 IP54 Bulkhead - Anthracite

The Lart 160 is a square wall-mounted bulkhead that takes a single E27 lamp rated up to 60W, running from a 220-240V AC supply. It accepts GLS, CFL or LED bulbs, so the output and tone are set by the lamp you choose rather than fixed at the fitting, giving a soft, diffused spread across the wall and the area immediately below it. Across the Atlantic this style of fitting is known as an outdoor wall sconce or a wall pack, and the compact 110 x 180 x 185 mm square body keeps it tidy against the surface.

Its IP54 rating makes it well suited to sheltered and damp positions: a covered porch, a carport, a garage doorway, an entrance lobby or a bathroom zone away from direct spray. The throw is gentle and close-range rather than far-reaching, marking a doorway, step or threshold and washing the wall with even light rather than projecting a beam, so it works as orientation and entrance lighting instead of broad area cover. Mount it at head height or just above a door so the diffused glow falls naturally onto the approach.

The body is aluminium alloy in an anthracite finish, with a square diffuser that softens the lamp output. At IP54 it is splash-resistant and built for sheltered locations, so keep it clear of fully-exposed positions, direct water jets and submersion. It is a non-dimmable fitting wired direct to mains, mounted to the wall through its fixing points, and the E27 lamp is specified separately to suit the brightness and colour temperature you want. The Lart range includes further wall fittings in the same anthracite finish for a consistent look across a property.

Can the Lart 160 be used outdoors?

It carries an IP54 rating, so it is suited to sheltered and covered outdoor spots such as a porch, carport or garage doorway, as well as bathroom zones. Keep it clear of fully-exposed positions, direct water jets and submersion, as IP54 covers splashes rather than driving rain.

Is a bulb included with this fitting?

The Lart 160 takes a single E27 lamp up to 60W but the bulb is supplied separately. This lets you choose the brightness, colour temperature and source type, as it accepts GLS, CFL or LED bulbs to suit the location.

Where is this bulkhead typically fitted?

It works well at entrances, covered porches, carports, garage doorways, lobbies and bathroom zones. The diffused square body gives soft orientation light around doorways and thresholds rather than a directional beam.

How do I clean and maintain the Lart 160?

Switch off at the mains and let the lamp cool, then wipe the anthracite aluminium body and the diffuser with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners so the finish stays even, and check the seals occasionally if it is fitted in a damp or sheltered outdoor position.
