Yalte 10W 800mm LED Outdoor Wall Light Warm White IP54 - Black

Yalte is a slim 800mm LED outdoor wall light made for the façade of a house: a straight-edged black bar with a compact block at one end, fixed to the surface of the wall rather than recessed, so nothing has to be cut out of cladding or render to house it. It draws 10W and gives 450 lumens of warm white light at 3000K, a colour temperature that is softer and more golden than the blue-white of cooler LEDs. The head adjusts through 330°, so you can settle its angle once it is up.

Outside, it suits the wall beside a front door or the back of a covered terrace, and a pair either side of tall glazing makes a neat frame. IP54 is the figure that matters outdoors. The 5 means dust cannot get in enough to interfere with operation, and the 4 means protection against water splashed from any direction, which covers rain on an exposed wall but not jets of water or immersion. The maker also lists it for indoor use, so the same upright line of light can carry on into a hallway, stairwell or porch. Its 450 lumens are a moderate output, suited to a doorway or a stretch of wall rather than floodlighting a whole drive.

The light passes through a polycarbonate diffuser, and polycarbonate is a tough plastic, far less prone to shattering than glass, which is useful on a wall that may take a knock. It runs on 220-240V AC mains rather than a low-voltage garden supply, and it is not dimmable, so it belongs on an ordinary on/off switch. The maker gives a lifespan of 30,000 hours: at four hours a night, a little over twenty years. To our eye the black finish looks best against timber cladding and pale render, beside black window frames and downpipes.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

Can I use it indoors as well as outside?

Yes. The maker gives its place of application as indoors and outdoors, so the same fitting can go on a façade or porch and equally in a hallway, stairwell or garden room.

Will it stand up to rain on an exposed wall?

Yes. It is rated IP54, and the 4 in that rating means protection against water splashed from any direction, which covers driving rain on a wall. The rating does not extend to water jets or to immersion.

How bright is it, and is the light warm or cool?

It gives 450 lumens from 10W, a moderate output suited to a doorway or a run of wall rather than a whole garden. The light is 3000K warm white, softer and more golden than cool white.

Can I put it on a dimmer switch?

No. The maker lists it as not dimmable, so plan for an ordinary on/off switch on that circuit rather than a dimmer, which a non-dimmable LED fitting is not built to run from.

Can I change the angle once it is fitted?

Yes. The head adjusts through 330°, so once the fitting is fixed to the wall you can still fine-tune its angle until it sits the way you want it.

Will it fit on the wall beside my front door?

It stands 800mm tall and 45mm wide, so measure the clear height of wall beside the frame before you order, and allow some space above and below so the line of light does not crowd the door.
