Pires Eco 25W Round E27 IP44 Bulkhead - White

The Pires Eco is a round LED bulkhead that takes a single E27 bulb up to 25W, running on a standard 220-240V AC mains supply. The white polycarbonate body and diffuser spread a soft, even wash of light rather than a tight beam, so it lifts overall brightness in a doorway or passage without harsh shadows. American buyers will recognise this format as an outdoor wall light or wall pack, the compact bulkhead style fitted to entrances and service areas. With the bulb left to your choice, the output and colour temperature follow whichever E27 lamp you install.

Its IP44 splash rating makes the Pires Eco a good fit for sheltered and covered positions: a porch, a carport, a covered side passage, a utility room or a bathroom zone clear of direct spray. Because it is general perimeter and entrance lighting rather than a room's main ambient source, think of its job as marking a doorway, lighting a threshold or keeping a stairwell and outbuilding usefully visible. At Ø277mm it sits comfortably on a wall beside a door or flat against a ceiling, and the light it throws stays close and diffuse, ideal for the spots people pass through rather than linger in.

The fitting is built from white plastic with a matching round diffuser, weighs around 500g and carries an IP44 rating that keeps splashes and damp at bay in covered locations. It mounts either to a wall or a ceiling, so the same fitting works above a door or overhead in a porch or utility space. No bulb is supplied, leaving you free to match the wattage and tone to the location, and dimming depends on the E27 lamp chosen. The Pires range includes further bulkhead options in the same white finish for matching an entrance and a rear service door.

Can the Pires Eco be used outdoors?

It carries an IP44 rating, which makes it suitable for covered and sheltered outdoor spots such as a porch, carport or covered passage. Keep it clear of fully-exposed positions, direct rain and water jets, as IP44 protects against splashes rather than driving rain or submersion.

Does it come with a bulb?

No, the bulb is supplied separately. The fitting takes a standard E27 (ES) lamp up to 25W, so you can choose an LED bulb in your preferred colour temperature and brightness for the location.

Where can I install this bulkhead?

It works well on entrances, porches, hallways, stairwells, utility rooms, bathroom zones away from direct spray and outbuildings. The fitting can be mounted to a wall beside a door or flat against a ceiling overhead.

How do I clean it?

Switch off the supply and let the fitting cool, then wipe the white diffuser and body with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can mark the plastic over time, and make sure the diffuser is dry before restoring power.
