Description
Light travels upward here: a compact black wall light with a clear polycarbonate shade that stands proud of the wall and throws its light up the surface behind it, with a softer spill out through the sides. The body measures 14cm across, so it keeps close to a door frame or a narrow return without crowding it. A single E27 socket sits inside and takes a lamp of up to 20W.
It is rated against splashes, so it suits a porch, a sheltered side passage or a garden wall beside a back door as readily as an indoor hall or stairwell. There is no switch on the fitting itself, so it runs from the wall switch or the circuit it joins, and it will dim where lamp and dimmer are matched to one another. We would reach for a warm LED GLS for everyday use, though the clear shade makes a shaped or tubular lamp worth considering if you want the filament on show.
The shade is clear polycarbonate, which takes a knock better than glass, and the black runs across the visible metalwork for a quiet, matt look against brick or render. Give the shade a wipe with a damp cloth and dry it off once the lamp has gone cold, since grit and cobwebs settle fast on anything facing the weather and the plastic goes cloudy if they are left to build up. It carries a two year warranty. The same black and clear pairing turns up on the short and tall posts in this range, which is handy if you want the path and the door treated as one piece of work rather than two. Lamps are not included, so choose the shape you want seen through the shade before you decide on the lumen output.

Frequently Asked
How tall is it and how far does it come off the wall?
It stands 320mm high, is 140mm wide and projects 185mm from the wall.
What lamp should I fit?
One E27 lamp, 20W maximum. LED is the sensible choice, in GLS A60, ST64 or tubular T45 shape.
Can I dim it?
Yes, provided you pair a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer. The fitting has no switch of its own.
Is it suitable outdoors?
Yes. It is IP44 rated, which covers splashing water, so a porch, a sheltered wall or a doorway is fine.
How do I keep the clear shade looking right?
A damp cloth and a dry buff when the lamp is cool. Outdoors, check it every few months for cobwebs and grit.
What warranty does it have?
Two years from the manufacturer.
