Description
Light leaves this compact outdoor fitting in two directions, up the wall and down over it, so you get a pair of soft pools rather than one flat glare. The body is a small squared block in sand white, barely wider than a hand at 12cm, with opal white diffusers top and bottom that spread the beam and keep the source out of sight. The integrated LED draws 6W and gives a warm white light, close in tone to an old filament lamp.
We reach for this sort of fitting where a lantern would look fussy: either side of a front door, along a garden wall, beside a side gate or beneath a porch roof. It is rated for outdoor positions that see rain and blown dust, and it needs an earth. Output is 520 lumens, enough to mark a doorway and pick out a step without washing the whole garden in light. There is no switch on the body and no dimming, so it takes its orders from a wall switch, a timer or a photocell on the circuit.
The finish is a fine sand white that sits quietly against render, brick and painted timber, with the opal white of the diffusers as the only contrast. Keep it looking well by wiping the diffusers now and then with a damp cloth, and clear cobwebs from the underside, which is where they gather on any fitting near a door. It carries a three year warranty. We also stock it in anthracite for anyone who wants the fitting to recede against darker brick or a dark frame, and the two sit happily on the same building, sand white at the entrance and anthracite down the side return. The LED is built in, so there is nothing to buy or fit before you switch on.

Frequently Asked
How bright is it, and what colour is the light?
It puts out 520 lumens at 3000K, a warm white with a slight golden cast rather than a cool blue one.
Can it be dimmed or put on a smart dimmer?
No. It is non-dimmable, so use a plain switch, a timer or a photocell rather than a dimming module.
How far does it stand off the wall?
Projection is 130mm, with a height of 140mm and a width of 120mm, so it stays close and tidy beside a door frame.
Is it suitable for an exposed wall with no shelter?
It is IP54 rated, which covers rain and dust on a normal house wall. For a spot that takes driven water directly, choose a higher rating.
What is the best way to clean the diffusers?
Switch the circuit off, then wipe the opal panels with a cloth wrung out in warm water. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams, which dull the sand white finish.
Does it light upward as well as downward?
Yes, it throws light both up and down the wall from the two opal diffusers.
