The Tifton WB20 is a 200mm softly sculpted wall light in matt white integrated 14W giving 1,120lm at 3000K, andIP44, which makes it usable both outdoors under cover and in abathroom.

It is bright considerably brighter than most exterior walllights.

Three times the light of the Noral, at 80lm/W. That changeswhat it is for: the Noral marks a doorway, the Tiftonlights one enough for an entry you actually need to see in, aporch where people wait, or a bathroom wall where it is doing realwork beside a mirror.

IP44 and this is the fitting the rating belongs to

IP44 is protection against splashing water from any direction, which puts theTifton in bathrooms outside the shower zone, laundries, andcovered outdoor positions a porch, a verandah, an alfresco wall.

Not a fully exposed wall. IP44 is splash, not driving rain orjets. For an exposed or coastal position, ask us about the Ziron atIP65.

A note for anyone comparing the range: the Tifton pendants carry this sameparagraph about IP44 on their pages, and it does not apply to them they areIP20 indoor fittings. The rating belongs to this product. We havecorrected the pendant pages.

The sculpted form, and matt white

A softly sculpted body rather than a flat plate, so it throwsa gradient of light up and down the wall instead of a hard-edged shape. On arendered or painted wall that is what makes a wall light look designed rather thanapplied.

The matt finish matters as much: on a bright 1,120-lumen fitting, agloss surface would carry a hard specular highlight right where thelight leaves, which is exactly where you look. Matt spreads it.

200mm across, 120 out, 0.63kg

Compact and light. The 120mm projection sits between thevery shallow (the Terin’s 30mm) and the deep (the Cosca’s 170, the Farnix’s 254), so it haspresence without being something you walk into in a passage. Its120mm backplate is smaller than the fitting, which is worthknowing on a replacement: it may not cover the marks left by whatever came off thewall.

At 0.63kg it fixes to render, brick or fibre cement without specialprovision.

It does not dim, and the LED isintegrated and included at a fixed 3000K. On a bathroom orentry wall that is usually right those are on-or-off positions.240V a figure absent from our record and from the old page’sspecification table and ClassI, earth required, so a licensedelectrician installs it. CRI above 80.

Where it works

• Entries and porches that need real light, not just a marker.
• Bathrooms outside the shower zone, and laundries IP44.
• Covered alfresco and verandah walls.
• Not a fully exposed wall ask us about the Ziron at IP65.

Questions

Can it go in a bathroom?

Yes outside the shower zone. IP44 is protection against splashing water from any direction, which covers bathrooms, laundries and covered outdoor positions such as a porch, verandah or alfresco wall.

Can it go on a fully exposed wall?

No IP44 is splash, not driving rain or jets. For an exposed or coastal position, ask us about the Ziron at IP65.

How bright is it?

1,120 lumens from 14 watts three times the light of the Noral exterior wall light, and by a wide margin the brightest exterior wall light reviewed here. That changes what it is for: the Noral marks a doorway, the Tifton lights one.

Is the Tifton pendant IP44 too?

No. The Tifton pendants carried this same IP44 paragraph on their pages and it does not apply to them they are IP20 indoor fittings. The rating belongs to this wall light. We have corrected the pendant pages.

Why does the finish matter?

On a 1,120-lumen fitting a gloss surface would carry a hard specular highlight right where the light leaves which is exactly where you look. Matt spreads it, and the sculpted body throws a gradient up and down the wall rather than a hard-edged shape.

Will it cover the marks left by my old fitting?

Possibly not the backplate is 120mm on a 200mm fitting, so it is smaller than the light itself. Measure what is on the wall before ordering a replacement.

Can I dim it?

No the LED is integrated and included at a fixed 3000K. On a bathroom or entry wall that is usually right; those are on-or-off positions.
