Description
Small and square, this is a compact outdoor light that gives more than its size suggests. The housing is anthracite, a deep grey that reads almost black against brick, render or painted timber, and the opal white diffusers spread the light rather than letting it glare. Two integrated LED boards draw 12W between them and give a warm 3000K white, closer to the colour of a domestic lamp than the cold blue of older outdoor fittings. Output is fixed rather than dimmable, and there is no switch on the body.
We would put this either side of a front door, over a back porch, or along a side passage where a bigger lantern would feel heavy. It is sealed against dust and rain, so an exposed wall is no trouble, and the shallow projection keeps it clear of shoulders on a narrow path. Owners of flats and terraces tend to like it for the same reason: it lights a doorway and a doorstep without announcing itself, and it will not spill light across a neighbour's garden.
The finish is matt anthracite throughout, with the opal white of the diffusers the only contrast. Keep it clean and it will keep looking new: wipe the housing down when you do the windows, and clear cobwebs or leaf litter from the diffusers now and again, particularly after a windy spell. It carries a three year warranty. The LEDs are built in, so there is nothing to change as the years pass. If you want the lighting to read as one idea around the house, we would repeat the same fitting at the back door and over the garden gate rather than mixing shapes.

Frequently Asked
How much wall does it take up?
The face measures 120mm high by 120mm wide, and it stands 130mm out from the wall, so it sits neatly beside a standard door frame without crowding it.
How bright is it?
It produces 590 lumens in total from 12W, at 3000K warm white. That is enough for a doorway, a step or a short path rather than floodlighting a whole garden.
Can the LEDs be changed later?
No. The LEDs are integrated into the fitting, so there is no lamp to buy now and none to swap out in future.
Will it work with a dimmer?
No, it is not dimmable and should be run on a plain switched circuit. There is no switch built into the fitting itself.
Is it suitable for a wall with no shelter above it?
Yes. It is IP54 rated, which covers dust and splashing water from any direction, so rain on an open wall is fine. It should not be sited where it could be submerged or hit by a pressure washer.
How should I clean it?
Switch the circuit off first, then use a damp cloth on the anthracite housing and the opal diffusers, followed by a dry one. Avoid abrasive creams and solvents, which can dull the finish.
