Description
The Lofoten is a 305mm square outdoor flush ceiling light with a matt black steel frame and clear glass panels on all four sides. Two E27 bulbs (sold separately) sit exposed within the open frame structure, with the glass providing weather protection while allowing light to spread in all directions. The fitting mounts flat to the ceiling with a 140mm total projection, designed for covered porches, entrance canopies, patios under eaves, and outdoor walkways with a roof overhang.
The IP44 rating protects against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for locations with shelter from direct rainfall but exposure to wind-blown rain and garden sprinkler overspray. The steel frame is electro-galvanised before powder-coating, giving corrosion resistance in typical UK coastal and inland conditions. The clear glass panels are safety glass, meeting outdoor installation requirements without risk of shattering.
The 305mm footprint suits standard porch ceilings and entrance areas without dominating the space, while the open frame structure means the fitting doesn't trap heat around the bulbs when used with traditional filament or halogen lamps. The matt black finish absorbs rather than reflects daylight, keeping the fitting visually recessive against dark soffits and rendering. Each of the two E27 sockets accepts bulbs up to 60W, allowing a combined 120W output when fitted with traditional bulbs or the LED equivalent for lower running costs.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take and are they included?
The Lofoten takes 2x E27 bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED filament bulbs at 6-8W and 2700K for outdoor entrance lighting.
Can it be used in fully exposed outdoor locations?
The IP44 rating provides protection against water splashes but not prolonged direct rainfall or submersion. It's designed for covered locations such as entrance porches, canopies, patios under eaves, and carports where there's a roof overhang providing shelter from direct weather.
How is it installed on the ceiling?
The fitting mounts directly to a standard outdoor electrical box on the ceiling. The baseplate fixes with screws (typically supplied with the outdoor box) and the frame clips or screws onto the baseplate once wired. Total projection from the ceiling is 140mm including the glass depth.
What's the coverage of light from two bulbs?
The open four-sided glass design allows light to spread in all directions rather than just downwards. Two 60W-equivalent LED bulbs provide enough light for a typical 2-3m entrance porch or a 3-4m patio section under an eave, casting both downlight onto the floor and horizontal light into the surrounding area.
