Varso LED Ø330 24W Round Bulkhead Cool White - White

The Varso LED is a round bulkhead fitting that runs on 220-240V AC and draws 24W, putting out 2280 lumens at an efficiency of 95 lm/W. Its integrated LEDs sit behind a white round body measuring Ø327 by 49mm, throwing a wide 120 degree spread of 4000K cool white light across the surface it is mounted to. Buyers in the US will know this style as an outdoor wall sconce or wall pack, and here it works equally as a flush-fitting overhead point for porch and entrance use.

Its splash-resistant IP54 rating makes it a practical choice for sheltered and damp spots: porch ceilings, carport soffits, covered walkways, stairwells and utility rooms. The wide 120 degree beam washes light evenly over a doorway or landing rather than spotting a single point, so it suits general access and security lighting where you want a clear, shadow-free pool of light. It is rated for covered outdoor and bathroom-zone use, so keep it clear of fully exposed positions and direct water jets, where a higher-rated fitting would be needed instead.

The housing is moulded plastic in a white finish with a round diffuser that gives an even glow at 4000K and Ra 80 colour rendering. Rated at IP54 with a 20,000 hour lifespan, it is a non-dimmable fixed-output fitting and weighs 900g, making it light to handle on a ceiling or wall surface. The diffuser unclips for cleaning, and the fitting is part of the wider Varso range, which includes alternative wattages and colour temperatures for matching across a building.

Can this bulkhead be used outdoors?

It carries an IP54 rating, so it is suited to sheltered and covered outdoor positions such as porches, carports and covered walkways. It also handles bathroom zones and damp utility areas. Keep it out of fully exposed spots facing direct rain or water jets, where a higher IP rating is required.

Does it take a separate bulb?

No, the Varso has integrated LEDs built into the fitting, so there is no E27 or other lamp to fit or replace. It draws 24W and delivers 2280 lumens of 4000K cool white light straight from the mains. When the LEDs reach the end of their 20,000 hour rated life, the whole fitting is replaced.

Where is this fitting typically used?

It is a common choice for porches, entrances, stairwells, communal landings and utility rooms where even, practical lighting matters. The wide 120 degree beam washes light across a doorway or passage rather than spotlighting one area. The white round body keeps it discreet against a ceiling or wall.

How do I keep the diffuser clean?

The round diffuser unclips from the white plastic housing for cleaning. Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry it before refitting. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can dull the surface over time.
