Description
This is a surface mounted polycarbonate bulkhead with the LED board built in, so there is no lamp to buy now and none to change later. The pack rates it at 10W for an output of 1050 lumens, and the colour temperature is 6500K daylight: a crisp blue-white light that makes labels, steps and stored tools easy to read rather than one that warms a sitting room. The body is black and the front cover is clear with a prismatic moulding, which spreads the output across the whole face instead of letting it pool over the diodes. The pack states an IP65 rating and describes the unit as weather resistant.
A bulkhead earns its place where a light has to work hard and then be forgotten about: a porch, a back door, a garage or workshop wall, a shared stairwell, a sheltered walkway, the gable of an outbuilding. IP65 means the fitting is sealed against dust and against water jetted at it from any direction, so wind driven rain and an occasional hose down are both within what the rating covers. At head height beside a door, 1050 lumens is enough to find a keyhole. Spaced along a passage, several of them give flat, even cover with little shadow between them.
There is no lamp cap to match and no tube to source, since the LED board is part of the fitting rather than something you slot in. The manufacturer does not state whether the fitting will dim, so wire it to a plain switch unless you can confirm compatibility with the control you have in mind. No beam angle or overall dimension is printed either. It is sold as a single fitting, with a minimum order of one. It sits within our wider bulkhead range, which also runs to round and oval cage shapes, tamper proof versions and separate gear trays for refitting a body you already have.

Frequently Asked
Do I need to buy a bulb for this?
No. The LED board is part of the fitting, so there is no cap size to match and nothing to slot in before you can use it.
Can I mount it on an outside wall?
The pack states IP65 and calls the unit weather resistant, so a porch, a garage wall or an exposed outside wall is within what that rating covers.
What does 6500K daylight actually look like?
It is a crisp blue-white light with no yellow in it, which suits working areas and entrances where you want detail read quickly rather than a soft glow.
Is 1050 lumens enough for a single garage?
For a standard single garage one unit gives usable general light; for a longer workshop or a passage, plan on two or more spaced evenly along the run.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
The manufacturer does not say. Treat it as a switched fitting and wire it to a plain switch unless you can confirm the control is compatible first.
