Walkway Guard Outdoor Wall Light IP65 - Satin Nickel

The Walkway Guard is a small round outdoor wall light with a solid brass body in a satin nickel finish. A cross-and-ring guard sits over a frosted glass diffuser, shielding the glass and softening the light so it glows rather than glares. It is a compact fitting, 14cm across and 7cm deep, and weighs 1KG, so it sits close to the wall without crowding a narrow passage. The IP65 rating is the figure that settles where it can live: it is dust-tight and protected against jets of water from any direction, so driving rain is no trouble and it stays outdoors all year in British weather.

As its name tells you, it is made for walkways. The maker suggests it for places from a garden path to a pub corridor, and its modest size suits a row of them along a wall, leading the way to a gate, a side door or the back garden. The maker designed these wall lights for outdoor spots that call for an industrial or nautical look, and says the maritime influence shows in the range's materials, designs and names. The round body and gridded guard bring a ship's bulkhead light to mind, so it sits naturally on a coastal cottage, a boathouse or a brick outbuilding.

Under the satin nickel finish the body is solid brass, and brass contains no iron, so it does not rust. The cable enters at the rear, through the back plate, so nothing runs across the face of the wall once the light is fitted. It takes one G9 lamp, which is not included, so have one to hand. As a mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician. If you are lighting a long path with several, buy the G9 lamps together and in the same colour temperature, so every light along the wall glows alike.
