Milo E27 Bulkhead Light IP44 - Black

The Milo is a compact wall bulkhead built around a standard E27 lampholder, accepting an LED, CFL or GLS bulb up to a maximum of 25W on a 220-240V AC supply. It mounts to a wall or ceiling and casts a broad, even wash through its diffuser rather than a tight directional beam, so light spreads outward across the surface it sits on. Buyers in the US will recognise this format as an outdoor wall sconce or wall pack, the round low-profile fitting used to mark doorways and passageways.

Sized at 165 × 100 × 110 mm and weighing just 410 g, the Milo suits porches, carports, covered entrances and sheltered passageways, as well as bathroom zones away from direct spray. Its IP44 rating means it copes with splashing water and damp air but should be kept out of fully-exposed positions, direct water jets or anywhere it could be submerged. As coverage depends on the bulb fitted rather than a built-in array, treat it as a marker and surround light for an entrance, stairwell or utility area rather than a primary room source, choosing the lamp lumens to match the spot.

The body is moulded plastic in a black finish, rated IP44 for splash resistance and IK06 for moderate impact, making it hard-wearing in shared or external locations. Wiring runs to the E27 holder behind the diffuser, so the bulb and its colour temperature are specified separately and the fitting can be re-lamped over its life. It fixes flat to a wall or ceiling on its base and is supplied without a bulb. The Milo sits within our wider range of bulkhead and utility wall fittings.

Can the Milo be used outdoors?

Yes, within limits. Its IP44 rating handles splashing water and damp conditions, so it is well suited to porches, carports and other covered or sheltered outdoor spots. Keep it clear of fully-exposed positions, direct water jets or standing water.

Is a bulb included?

No, the bulb is supplied separately. The Milo takes a standard E27 (ES) lamp up to a maximum of 25W, and you can fit an LED, CFL or GLS bulb in the colour temperature that suits the location.

Where is this fitting typically used?

It works well in entrances, porches, stairwells, hallways and utility areas, plus splash-protected bathroom zones. The broad diffused output makes it a practical marker and surround light around doorways and passageways.

How do I clean the diffuser?

Switch off the supply and let any bulb cool, then wipe the diffuser and black body with a soft damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents on the plastic, and make sure the fitting is dry before switching it back on.
