Wexford 1 Light Outdoor Wall Light with PIR - Black Silver

The Wexford is an upward-facing outdoor wall light with an integrated PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, a hand-leaded glass lantern body and a black silver finish. The lantern consists of five individual glass panels held within a metal frame, each panel featuring a diamond-pattern leadwork detail. The PIR sensor activates the light automatically when motion is detected within range, providing both security and convenience at doorways, porches and side gates.

Designed for entrances and pathways where automatic lighting is needed, the Wexford suits both residential porches and commercial doorways in period or traditional-style buildings. The upward-facing orientation casts light onto the wall and ceiling overhead, creating a soft wash that highlights architectural details without glaring downward into eyes. The PIR detection range is typically 8-12 metres with a 180-degree field of view, though exact coverage varies with mounting height and surrounding obstacles.

The black silver finish pairs a matt black base coat with a silver overspray that shows through at raised edges and corners, giving a weathered, antique appearance. The hand-leaded glass construction uses traditional leadwork techniques where each glass panel is cut to shape, wrapped in lead came, and soldered into the lantern frame. The IP44 rating protects against dust ingress and rain splashes from any direction, making the fitting suitable for exposed exterior walls without needing additional shelter.

How does the PIR sensor work?

The integrated PIR sensor detects motion within approximately 8-12 metres and activates the light automatically when movement is detected. The sensor typically has a 180-degree detection angle and includes adjustable time and sensitivity settings, though exact features depend on the specific sensor model fitted to this Wexford version.

What bulb does it take?

The Wexford takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for outdoor security lighting that does not appear overly stark.

Can it be used on an exposed exterior wall?

Yes. The IP44 rating protects against dust and rain splashes from any direction, making the fitting suitable for exposed exterior walls including those facing prevailing weather. The upward-facing design prevents water pooling inside the lantern body.

What is hand-leaded glass?

Hand-leaded glass refers to the construction method where individual glass panels are cut to shape, wrapped in lead came (H-section lead strip), and soldered together to form the lantern. This is a traditional technique used in period lighting and stained glass work, giving each lantern a slightly different character depending on how the glass was cut and assembled.
