Paris Outdoor 1 Light Half Dome Wall Light - Matt Black

The Paris is a half-dome outdoor wall light in matt black galvanised steel, measuring 280mm wide and 140mm high. The hemispherical shade directs light downward through a single E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately, maximum 60W), casting a pool of light onto the ground below rather than spreading light outward.

Designed for partially sheltered outdoor positions where focused downward light is needed, the Paris suits installation on porches, beside doorways, under eaves, and on patio walls. The IP43 rating protects against solid objects above 1mm and light water spray, making it suitable for covered outdoor areas but not for fully exposed positions subject to heavy rain or direct hose spray. The 160mm projection from the wall gives clearance for the bulb and shade without dominating narrow alcoves or pathways.

The galvanised steel construction provides corrosion resistance in coastal and humid environments, with the matt black powder-coated finish reducing reflections under direct sunlight. The hemispherical form creates a clear division between the lit area below and the unlit wall above, making the Paris useful for defining entry points or marking steps without spilling light into windows or neighbouring properties. Norlys backs the fitting with a 5-year guarantee.

Can this be used in fully exposed outdoor positions?

No. The IP43 rating protects against light water spray and solid objects above 1mm, but it is not rated for heavy rain, direct hose spray or fully exposed positions. Install under eaves, canopies or porches where the fitting is sheltered from direct weather.

What bulb does it take?

The Paris takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for outdoor ambient lighting.

Does the light spread outward or downward?

The half-dome shade directs light downward onto the ground or step below. There is minimal outward spread, making this suitable for positions where you want focused downlighting without spilling light into windows or neighbouring properties.

Is it suitable for coastal environments?

The galvanised steel construction provides corrosion resistance in coastal and humid environments, and the powder-coated finish adds an additional protective layer. However, regular cleaning of salt deposits is recommended in direct coastal exposure.
