Description
Squat, square and quietly practical, this is a low-level outdoor light with a compact head that sits close to the ground and spreads its light softly around it. The sand brown finish is a warm, dusty earth tone that settles against brick, gravel and planting rather than standing apart from it. At 16cm across it takes up very little room at the edge of a path. An E27 lamp does the work, up to 20W, and we would fit an LED GLS globe for the lowest running cost.
We reach for this where a tall bollard would look overbearing: along a shallow flight of patio steps, at the turn of a gravel drive, beside a front door, or marking the edge of a bed so the border reads clearly after dark. It is sealed against dust and jetting water, so it copes with a British winter of rain and windblown grit. There is no switch on the body, so it runs from an indoor switch or a garden circuit with a sensor or timer, and it will dim with a compatible lamp and dimmer.
The finish is matt rather than glossy, which keeps the surface calm in daylight. It carries a two year warranty. Brush leaf litter and cobwebs off the top before they mark the paint, then wipe the sides with a damp cloth and dry them; nothing abrasive, as scouring will dull the finish. Lamps are supplied separately. We stock the same lamp post in graphite and white, and the range runs to wall lights, up and down wall lights and ceiling lights in the same three finishes if you want the outside of the house to match.

Frequently Asked
What lamp does it take?
One E27 lamp of up to 20W. An LED GLS A60 is the shape we would choose, and no lamp is included.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use a dimmable lamp and a matching dimmer switch. There is no switch on the fitting itself.
How big is it?
It is 160mm square and 190mm tall, and weighs 0.9kg, so it stays low and unobtrusive at ground level.
Is it suitable for an exposed garden?
Yes. It is rated IP65, meaning it is protected against dust and against water jetted from any direction, so open paths and driveways are fine.
How do I keep the sand brown finish looking good?
Clear debris from the top surface regularly, then wipe with a damp cloth and dry off. Avoid solvents and scouring pads, which will take the sheen out of the paint.
What warranty comes with it?
It carries a two year warranty.
