15W Tamper Proof Bulkhead Body - White

This is a round surface mounted bulkhead rated at 15W, finished in white throughout. The shallow domed cover sits over a fluted collar, so the whole fitting stands only a little way off the surface it is fixed to, and the body behind it is a plain white ring with a single fixing detail on the rim. Bulkheads are built as one closed unit rather than a frame plus a shade, which is why they turn up wherever a light needs to be out of the way and hard to knock.

A 15W load is modest, so this is a sensible choice where lights are left on for long stretches: hallways, landings, stairwells, garages, utility rooms, storerooms, lofts and shared corridors in flats. The tamper proof description points at the same use. In communal and semi public spaces the cover is the part that gets tried first, and a fitting designed to resist casual removal keeps working where a hinged or clip-on shade would not. The round shape reads as neutral against brickwork, plaster or a painted board, and it does not compete with anything else on the wall.

It runs on fixed mains wiring rather than a plug, so allow for an electrician if there is no existing point in place. Note that the manufacturer states very little about the light itself: no colour temperature, no lumen output, no dimming information and no ingress protection figure, so we have not quoted any. If any of those matter for your project, ask us before you order and we will put the question to the manufacturer. On dust: any diffuser passes less light as it films over, so an occasional wipe when the power is off keeps the output where it should be.

Is it rated for outdoor or damp positions?

The manufacturer does not state an ingress protection figure we can verify, so we treat this fitting as suitable for dry indoor positions only and we cannot recommend it anywhere wet or exposed.

Can it be dimmed?

No dimming information is supplied or printed, so we cannot tell you either way. Please ask us to check with the manufacturer before you wire it to a dimmer switch.

Is the light warm white or cool white?

No colour temperature is given for this reference, so we have not quoted one. If you are matching existing fittings in a corridor or stairwell, ask us first.

Is a lamp or LED module included?

The supplier lists this as a bulkhead body rated at 15W and does not state what is supplied inside it, so please ask us to confirm before ordering if you need a complete working fitting.

What does tamper proof mean on a bulkhead?

On this class of fitting the phrase normally refers to the cover being secured against removal by hand. The manufacturer does not detail the fixing used here, so we have not described it further.

How many do I receive?

One bulkhead body per unit, with no pack multiple to work around. Order one for a single position, or one for each position you are fitting out.
