Walkway Eyelid Outdoor Wall Light IP65 - Satin Nickel

This is our Walkway Eyelid outdoor wall light: a small, round light in solid brass with a satin nickel finish, its frosted glass diffuser shaded across the top by a curved eyelid hood. It measures 14cm across and sits 6cm from the wall, so it stays neat on a narrow return beside a door or tucked low on a garden wall. It is rated IP65, which means it is dust-tight and protected against jets of water, so it lives outdoors in British weather and takes driving rain and a blast from the hosepipe in its stride.

The maker describes it as a small circular walkway light, compact yet robust, and says it suits spaces that need a tough light. Set low along a path wall or beside garden steps, it marks the way at night; it is as happy at a front door, a porch, a back door or the side of a boathouse. The satin nickel has a soft, cool sheen that sits well against white render, grey stone and painted timber. The maker says the maritime influence shows in the range's materials, designs and names, and describes the range's wall lights as made for outdoor places where an industrial or nautical effect is wanted. With no cage over the glass, the face stays clean and simple.

The body is solid brass beneath the satin nickel finish, and solid brass does not rust. Cross-head screws hold the face in place, and the cable enters at the back through the wall plate. The fixing centres are 127mm apart and the light weighs 1KG. It takes one G9 lamp of up to 25W; the lamp is not included. As a mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. Before fitting day, check the 127mm fixing centres against your brickwork or render and have a G9 lamp ready, so the light works from the first evening.

Can the Walkway Eyelid light go on an exposed outside wall?

Yes. It is rated IP65, so it is dust-tight and protected against jets of water, which means it handles rain and wind outdoors all year round.

What bulb does this walkway light take?

It takes one G9 lamp of up to 25W. The lamp is not included, so buy one separately and have it ready before the light is fitted.

How big is this outdoor wall light?

It is 14cm across and 6cm deep, with fixing centres 127mm apart, and it weighs 1KG, so it suits narrow spaces beside steps and doors.

Could this light be used in a bathroom?

Its IP65 rating means it may be suitable for a bathroom, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone before it goes on the wall.

Does it have a cage or guard over the glass?

No, it has no cage over the glass. A curved eyelid hood shades the top of the frosted glass diffuser instead, giving the light a clean, simple face.
