Description
The Varso is a square LED bulkhead that mounts to the ceiling or wall and pushes out a wide, even spread of light. It draws 18W and delivers 1700 lumens at 4000K, a cool white tone that reads as clean and neutral, with a broad 120 degree beam that washes the surrounding area rather than spotting a single point. Buyers in the US market will know this fitting type as an outdoor wall pack or sconce, and it serves the same job here: a tough, low-profile luminaire that lights an entrance or passage without fuss.
Its IP54 rating makes the Varso a splash-resistant, sheltered-location fitting, so it suits porches, carports, covered walkways, stairwells and utility rooms, plus bathroom zones away from direct spray. It is not built for fully exposed positions or direct water jets, so keep it under cover. At 278mm square it sits flat and unobtrusive on a ceiling or wall, and the 120 degree beam means a single unit covers a doorway, landing or small store cupboard with soft, shadow-free light. Mounted at typical ceiling or above-door height, the wide throw marks an approach or threshold clearly without glare.
The body is moulded plastic in a white finish, with a diffused face that spreads the 1700 lumen output smoothly. It runs straight off 220 to 240V AC mains, carries an IP54 seal against splashes and dust, and is rated for around 20,000 hours of service. This is a non-dimmable, integrated LED fitting, so there is no bulb to replace and no dimmer to specify. The Varso range includes further sizes and output options if you need to match fittings across an entrance, hallway or outbuilding.

Frequently Asked
Can the Varso be used outdoors?
Yes, within limits. Its IP54 rating makes it splash-resistant and suitable for sheltered outdoor spots such as a porch, carport or covered walkway. Keep it clear of fully exposed positions, direct rain or water jets, as it is not sealed for those conditions.
Does it take a replaceable bulb?
No, the Varso uses an integrated LED rather than a separate lamp. The 18W LED array is built into the fitting and rated for around 20,000 hours, so there is nothing to change. When the LED reaches the end of its life the whole unit is replaced.
Where is this bulkhead typically fitted?
It works well on entrance porches, stairwells, hallways, utility rooms and outbuildings, plus sheltered bathroom zones. The wide 120 degree beam and 1700 lumen output give an even wash of cool white light, which suits passageways and thresholds where you want clear, glare-free coverage.
How do I keep it clean?
Wipe the diffuser face with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh solvents, which can dull the white finish and the plastic diffuser. Make sure the power is off and the fitting is cool before cleaning.
