Varso 330x330 24W LED Bulkhead PIR Cool White - White

The Varso is a square LED bulkhead light with a built-in PIR sensor, drawing 24W to produce 2280 lumens at a 4000K cool white tone. Across US ranges a fitting like this is sold as an outdoor wall sconce or wall pack, the same self-contained surface fixture used to wash light over a wall or doorway. Its 120 degree beam spreads broadly from a compact 327 x 327 mm body, and the integrated motion sensor switches the light on automatically as someone approaches rather than relying on a separate switch.

The motion trigger makes the Varso well suited to entrance porches, carports, stairwells, communal hallways and utility passages where hands-free, on-demand light is useful. Mounted at typical head height, the wide 120 degree spread covers an approach path or a small landing, marking the doorway and steps clearly as you arrive rather than lighting a whole room evenly. With its IP54 rating it copes with splashes and sheltered damp conditions, so it works in covered outdoor spots and bathroom zones, though it should be kept clear of fully exposed positions, direct water jets and any standing water.

Built from white plastic with a square diffuser, the Varso runs on 220 to 240V AC mains and needs no external transformer. It is rated IP54 against splashing and dust ingress, weighs 1.09 kg and is surface mounted onto a ceiling or wall using the integral fixing points. The 4000K LED is fixed and non-dimmable, with a rated life of around 20,000 hours, and the PIR head sits within the housing for a clean finished look. The Varso range includes further bulkhead options in matching white if you need to light several entrances consistently.

Can the Varso be used outdoors?

It carries an IP54 rating, which makes it suitable for splashes and sheltered damp locations such as a covered porch, carport or stairwell. It is not designed for fully exposed positions, direct water jets or submersion, so fit it somewhere with overhead cover.

How does the built-in PIR sensor work?

An integrated passive infrared sensor detects movement and switches the light on automatically, then turns it off again after the area is clear. This gives hands-free lighting at entrances and on staircases without needing a wall switch.

Is a bulb included, and is it dimmable?

The Varso uses an integrated LED rather than a replaceable bulb, so there is nothing separate to buy or change. It is fixed at 4000K cool white and is not dimmable, running directly from a 220 to 240V AC mains supply.

How should the diffuser be cleaned?

Switch the fitting off and let it cool, then wipe the white diffuser with a soft, slightly damp cloth to clear dust and insects. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents on the plastic, as keeping the diffuser clear helps maintain the full 2280 lumen output.
