Tuna Mini Ø200 E27 Round Bulkhead IP44 - White

The Tuna Mini is a round LED bulkhead that takes a single E27 bulb up to 25 watts, running from a 220-240V AC supply. The fitting accepts GLS, CFL or LED lamps, so the light output and colour temperature follow the bulb chosen rather than being fixed at the factory. Across the Atlantic this style of fitting is known as an outdoor wall sconce or wall pack, and the compact round body suits the same jobs on either side of the door. With a 200mm diameter and a low 104mm projection from the surface, it sits close to the wall or ceiling and casts a broad, even wash through its diffuser rather than a tight beam.

Being IP44 rated, the Tuna Mini is built for splash-resistant and sheltered positions. It works well around a porch, in a carport, under an open eave or inside a covered entry, and it is rated for bathroom zones where it stays clear of direct spray. Keep it out of fully exposed positions, away from direct water jets, and never submerge it. Because the brightness depends on the bulb fitted, coverage is best judged by the lamp chosen: a single fitting marks a doorway, a short run of steps or a stretch of covered wall, and pairing two of them gives consistent light along a longer covered passage.

The body is moulded plastic in a white finish, with a round diffuser that spreads the light softly. It mounts to either a wall or a ceiling, so it can sit beside a door or overhead in a covered porch. Dimming depends on the E27 lamp installed, as the fitting itself adds no driver or transformer, and it measures 200mm across with a weight of 720g. The Tuna Mini sits within the wider Tuna range of bulkheads, which offers other sizes for matching fittings across a property.

Can the Tuna Mini be used outdoors?

It is IP44 rated, which makes it suitable for sheltered outdoor spots such as a porch, carport or covered entry. It is not rated for fully exposed positions, direct water jets or submersion, so keep it under cover. The same rating means it is also suited to bathroom zones away from direct spray.

Is a bulb included?

No, the fitting takes a standard E27 (ES) bulb up to 25 watts and is supplied without one. It accepts GLS, CFL or LED lamps, so you can choose the brightness and colour temperature to suit the location. An LED bulb is the most efficient choice for a fitting left on for long periods.

Where is this bulkhead typically used?

It is a common choice for doorways, covered porches, carports, hallways and stairwells, and for damp utility areas within its IP44 limits. The 200mm round body and low 104mm projection keep it neat on a wall or ceiling. It can be mounted either way up, so it works overhead or at the side of a door.

How do I clean the Tuna Mini?

Switch it off and let any bulb cool, then wipe the diffuser and white body with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or strong solvents, which can dull the plastic. A regular wipe keeps the diffuser clear so the light stays bright and even.
