Solnar SLR 8W 180x140 LED Bulkhead IP54 - White

The Solnar SLR is a compact LED bulkhead delivering up to 8W and up to 800 lumens of neutral 4000K white light. Sized at a nominal 180x140, it casts a broad, even wash across the wall face rather than a tight beam, which is what you want from a bulkhead used to mark a doorway or light a passage. In the US this style of fitting is more often called an outdoor wall pack or wall sconce, and the SLR fills the same role: a robust, low-profile light that throws usable brightness over the immediate area around it without glare.

Its 800 lumens at 4000K suit porches, carports, covered entrances, stairwells, garages and utility corridors, where a clean neutral tone helps with visibility on steps and thresholds. The light spreads outward across the mounting surface and the ground immediately below, so think of its coverage as marking and washing the wall and the area you pass through, not lighting a whole room to a set lux level. Mounted at standard head height beside a door or along a sheltered walkway, one fitting comfortably handles a single entry point, with further units spaced along longer runs.

The body is moulded polycarbonate, which resists knocks and weathering, and the fitting carries an IP54 rating, making it splash-resistant and well suited to bathroom zones and sheltered outdoor positions such as a porch or carport. It is not intended for fully exposed locations facing direct water jets or driving rain. The integrated LED is rated for around 20,000 hours, runs at 3.7V DC and is not dimmable. It mounts directly to the wall and weighs 744g. Other fittings in the Solnar SLR range cover further size and output options for matching a run of entrances.

Can the Solnar SLR be used outdoors?

Yes, within limits set by its IP54 rating. It is splash-resistant and suited to sheltered outdoor spots such as a porch, carport or covered walkway, as well as bathroom zones indoors. Keep it clear of fully exposed positions facing direct water jets or driving rain.

Where is this bulkhead typically used?

It is a good fit for entrances, porches, stairwells, garages and utility corridors. The broad wash of 800 lumens at a neutral 4000K helps mark doorways and light thresholds and steps. Mounting it at head height beside a door or along a passage gives the most even spread.

Does it take a separate bulb?

No, the LED is built in, so there is no bulb to fit or replace. It draws up to 8W and produces up to 800 lumens, with a rated life of around 20,000 hours before output gradually tails off.

How do I clean the Solnar SLR?

Switch it off and let it cool, then wipe the polycarbonate housing with a soft damp cloth and a little mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents, which can dull the surface. Make sure it is dry before switching back on.
