Description
The Rascino-E is an outdoor wall light with a gently curved black front and three white diffuser panels, set one above the other towards one side. The body is zinc-plated steel in black and the panels are white plastic, so the bulb behind them gives a soft, diffused glow rather than a bare point of light. It measures 26cm high and 23.5cm long, and stands 9cm out from the wall. It takes an E27 screw bulb up to 40W, which is not included. The IP44 rating settles where it can go: it is protected from splashing water, so it lives outdoors on a house wall.
We would put it beside a front door, at a back door, along a side return or on a garden wall, anywhere you want a softly lit welcome after dark. At 9cm deep it keeps close to the wall, which suits narrow paths and porches where a bulkier lantern would catch shoulders. Black with white panels sits comfortably against brick, render or timber cladding, and works with modern houses as well as plainer traditional ones. Because the light comes through three panels rather than open glass, it reads as neat bands of light at night and a tidy graphic shape by day.
Zinc-plated steel is steel with a protective zinc coating that helps it resist rust, which suits a light that stays outside. The fitting has no switch of its own and is switched at the wall. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and is wired in, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician. It weighs 0.48KG packed, and the installation instructions come as a download. Choose your E27 bulb to suit the mood, a warmer white for a porch or a cooler white for a path, keeping it at 40W or less.

Frequently Asked
Can the Rascino-E go outdoors?
Yes. It is rated IP44, which means it is protected from splashing water, so it can live outdoors on a house wall or a garden wall.
Which bulb does it take?
It takes an E27 screw bulb up to a maximum of 40W. The bulb is not included, so you can choose the shade of white you prefer.
How big is the light?
It is 26cm high and 23.5cm long, and it stands 9cm out from the wall, so it keeps a slim profile beside a door or path.
Does it have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the light itself. It is switched at the wall, so you control it from a wall switch.
What materials are the body and the panels?
The body is zinc-plated steel in a black finish, and the three diffuser panels are white plastic, which spreads the light softly.
