Description
The LumiLife 3.5W outdoor emergency bulkhead delivers 320 lumens on mains power and 180 lumens in emergency backup mode, using an integrated LED module behind a ribbed polycarbonate diffuser. Rated IP65 for full dust and water-jet protection, the white polycarbonate housing mounts directly to external walls on 220-240V AC mains and includes a self-contained battery that activates when mains power fails.
Designed for outdoor corridors, service entrances, covered walkways and loading bays, the bulkhead provides both maintained lighting during normal operation and automatic emergency lighting during power cuts. The 6,500K daylight colour temperature gives high-contrast visibility in low-light conditions, making it suitable for safety-critical applications such as fire exits, stairwells and access routes where clear wayfinding is required. The surface-mount base fits standard UK outdoor electrical boxes.
The polycarbonate lens and housing resist impact and UV degradation, and the IP65 seal keeps moisture and dust out of the internal components. The emergency battery typically provides 3 hours of backup lighting at 180 lumens, though exact duration depends on battery condition and ambient temperature. The ribbed diffuser spreads light evenly across a corridor width of 2-3 metres without creating harsh shadows or glare points.

Frequently Asked
How long does the emergency backup last?
The integrated battery provides emergency lighting at 180 lumens for approximately 3 hours after mains power fails. The exact duration depends on battery condition, charge level and ambient temperature at the time of the power cut.
Can this be used in uncovered outdoor locations?
Yes. The IP65 rating means the bulkhead is fully protected against dust ingress and water jets from any direction, so it can be mounted on external walls exposed to rain, though it is not rated for full submersion (which would require IP67 or IP68).
Does the emergency mode activate automatically?
Yes. The bulkhead includes a self-contained battery and control circuitry that detects mains power failure and switches to emergency mode automatically. No external switching or manual activation is needed.
What colour is the housing?
The housing and diffuser are white polycarbonate. The image shows the ribbed polycarbonate lens and the metal mounting clips at each corner of the unit.
