Venus-1 Outdoor Wall Light - White

The Venus-1 is a 250mm outdoor wall light built from die-cast aluminium with a powder-coated white finish and a white acrylic diffuser. The curved diffuser sits in front of a single E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately), directing light downward and outward to wash the wall below while providing forward-facing ambient light. The IP44 rating protects against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for covered porches, garage entrances, and areas sheltered from direct driving rain.

Designed for residential garden walls, patio perimeters, and driveway entrances, the Venus-1 mounts to standard outdoor wall boxes and requires a single E27 bulb up to 60W. The 120mm projection from the wall keeps the fitting clear of door frames and window surrounds, while the even light distribution from the acrylic diffuser avoids harsh shadows or glare spots. Pair with a warm-white LED bulb between 2700K-3000K for ambient outdoor lighting, or a daylight bulb around 5000K for functional task lighting near doorways.

The die-cast aluminium construction resists corrosion in coastal and damp environments better than pressed steel alternatives, and the powder-coat finish provides UV resistance to prevent fading under direct sunlight. The white finish pairs with white-rendered walls, painted timber cladding, and light-toned brickwork, while remaining neutral enough to sit comfortably against grey, cream or stone-coloured facades. The curved diffuser profile softens the geometric mounting plate and prevents the fitting from appearing too industrial in residential settings.

Is the Venus-1 suitable for fully exposed outdoor walls?

The IP44 rating protects against dust and water splashes but not sustained direct rain or water jets. Install under eaves, porch canopies or covered entrances rather than on fully exposed walls open to driving rain.

What bulb should I use?

The fitting takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W. Most users pair it with a 6-10W warm-white LED bulb at 2700K-3000K for ambient garden lighting, or a 5000K daylight LED for functional lighting near doorways and garages. Bulbs are sold separately.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch on the circuit. The fitting itself does not restrict dimming capability.

What mounting box does it require?

The Venus-1 mounts to standard outdoor wall boxes. The 120mm projection allows clearance from most door frames and window surrounds when mounted to the side of an entrance.
