Luz 2 Light Outdoor Wall Light - Black

The Luz is a dual-output outdoor wall light with two GU10 fittings housed in a cylindrical black resin body rated to IP55. The unit mounts vertically to exterior walls and projects 165mm, with light emitting from both top and bottom through transparent satin acrylic diffusers. Each GU10 fitting takes a standard GU10 bulb up to 50W (sold separately), allowing for paired spot or flood beams.

Designed for entrance porches, pathway accent lighting, and architectural feature highlighting on exterior walls, the Luz casts light both upwards and downwards to create a wash effect on the wall surface. The IP55 rating protects the internal components from dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for positions exposed to rain and UK coastal conditions. The resin body withstands temperature variation from -60°C to +90°C without cracking or discolouration.

The black finish is a textured matt that minimises surface reflection and pairs with both traditional masonry and modern render. The cylindrical profile is 90mm long and mounts with a rear backplate fixed to standard external electrical boxes. The satin acrylic diffuser softens the GU10 beam angle, reducing hard shadows and glare while maintaining directional control. Ideal Lux backs the fitting with a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and weathering performance.

What bulbs does the Luz take?

The fitting takes two standard GU10 bulbs up to 50W each, sold separately. Most users pair this with GU10 LED bulbs between 4-7W for equivalent 35-50W halogen brightness. Choose between warm white (2700-3000K) for residential exteriors or cool white (4000K+) for commercial pathways.

Is it suitable for coastal or exposed locations?

Yes. The IP55 rating protects against low-pressure water jets and salt-laden air typical of UK coastal conditions. The resin body resists corrosion better than painted metal in marine environments. The temperature tolerance of -60°C to +90°C covers all UK weather conditions including frost and summer sun exposure.

Can it be mounted horizontally?

The Luz is designed for vertical wall mounting with light emitting upwards and downwards. Horizontal mounting would direct light sideways, which may not suit most applications. Check the mounting backplate orientation before installation to ensure correct up/down light distribution.

Is the light dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable GU10 bulbs and a compatible outdoor dimmer circuit. The fitting itself is dimmer-compatible, but dimming performance depends on the specific GU10 bulb chosen. Not all LED GU10 bulbs dim smoothly at low levels.
