Leoni Outdoor Wall Light 17cm Long 6W IP54 - Anthracite

A slim anthracite box that throws light up the wall and down it at the same time. Six integrated LEDs sit behind clear diffusers, giving warm white light in both directions, and the whole fitting draws only 6W. The body is small enough to sit at eye level without crowding a doorway, and it is not dimmable, so it comes on at full output and stays there.

We reach for something like this where a traditional lantern would look heavy: either side of a front door, spaced along a garden wall, beside a run of steps, or flanking a garage. The twin throw gives two soft washes rather than one flood, which is kinder on the eyes coming home in the dark and less intrusive for neighbours. It is built to sit out in the weather, shrugging off rain and airborne dust, so a porch, the passage down the side of the house or an open patio wall all suit it equally well. The warm tone keeps brick and render looking friendly rather than clinical.

Anthracite is the finish that quietly disappears against dark window frames, grey rainwater goods and slate, while the clear diffusers keep the face of the fitting unobtrusive during the day. At roughly 40mm off the wall it sits close enough not to catch shoulders or garden furniture. Give it a wipe with a damp cloth two or three times a year, as salt air and garden grit will dull any exterior finish faster than rain on its own; leave solvents and scouring pads well alone. It carries a three year warranty. We also stock the same fitting in sand white for pale render and painted walls, and since the LED array is built into the housing, there is nothing to buy alongside it.

How much light does it give out?

Around 500 lumens in total at 3000K, a warm white tone, divided between the upward and downward apertures rather than aimed all one way.

Can it be put on a dimmer?

No, it is a non-dimmable fitting and should be run from a standard switched circuit.

What size is it on the wall?

It measures 170mm long by 80mm high, and projects just 40mm, weighing 0.44kg.

Are the LEDs replaceable?

No, the LED module is integral to the fitting, so there are no lamps to source or change over its life.

How weatherproof is it?

It is rated IP54, meaning protection against dust and splashing water, which covers open walls and exposed door surrounds. It is not intended for submersion or high pressure jets, so keep the hose off it when washing down.

How should I clean the anthracite finish?

A damp cloth with a little mild soap, then dry it off. Avoid solvents, bleach and abrasive pads, which will mark the powder finish.
