Description
The Varso LED is a round bulkhead light measuring Ø278 by 49 mm, sitting close to the wall or ceiling for a low-profile finish. It draws 18W and puts out 1620 lumens of warm white 3000K light across a wide 120 degree spread, so the glow is even rather than tightly focused. Buyers in the US will recognise this format as an outdoor wall pack or wall-mounted bulkhead, a familiar fixture for entrances and service areas. With an efficiency of 90 lm/W the integrated LED gives a steady, soft output suited to general surround lighting rather than directional task work.
Rated IP54, this fitting is splash-resistant and built for sheltered positions: a covered porch, a carport, a doorway recess, or a utility room and hallway where some moisture is present. It throws light broadly across a wall or ceiling face, washing the immediate surroundings to mark an entrance or light a passage rather than illuminate a whole room evenly. Keep it clear of fully exposed walls that take direct rain or water jets, as the IP54 seal is intended for covered and sheltered spots. The warm 3000K tone makes it a comfortable choice for residential thresholds and communal corridors.
The body is moulded plastic in a white finish, a practical choice that resists corrosion in damp utility settings. The LED is integrated and runs directly from 220-240V AC mains, so there is no separate lamp to fit or transformer to specify. Mounting is surface fixed flat against the ceiling or wall, and the fitting is non-dimmable, giving full output whenever switched on. With a rated life of 20,000 hours and a light weight of 710 g, it is straightforward to install and largely maintenance-free. The Varso range includes further bulkhead options for matching specification across a property.

Frequently Asked
Can the Varso bulkhead be used outdoors?
It carries an IP54 rating, which makes it splash-resistant and suitable for sheltered outdoor spots such as a covered porch, carport or doorway recess. It is not designed for fully exposed positions exposed to direct rain or water jets. For indoor use it works well in utility rooms, hallways and corridors.
Does it need a separate bulb or driver?
No. The LED is integrated into the fitting and runs straight from 220-240V AC mains, so there is no lamp to buy or replace and no external transformer to specify. You simply wire it in and mount it. The rated lifespan is 20,000 hours.
How should I clean the Varso bulkhead?
Switch off the power and let the fitting cool, then wipe the white plastic body and diffuser with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh solvents, which can mark the surface. A periodic wipe keeps the 1620 lumen output looking bright.
Is this fitting dimmable?
No, the Varso is non-dimmable and gives its full 18W, 1620 lumen output whenever it is switched on. The warm white 3000K tone is fixed and well suited to entrances, corridors and utility areas. If you need adjustable levels, control it via separate switching of multiple fittings.
