The Shea EX3 is a 110mm 24V exterior wall light inblack, verde green or rust 3W giving 150lm at3000K, on a short 300mm cable.

Our page gave two different weather ratings. The descriptionsaid IP65; the specification table below it said IP54. The datasheetsays IP65, our record says IP54, and nothing can settle it the page isrendered from the record, so it is one source against one.

Plan around IP54, which is the lower and safer figure: rated againstsplashing water, so a sheltered wall, a porch, a courtyard or a coveredentry. If your position is fully exposed and you need the IP65,ask us and we will confirm with Telbix before you order.

The 300mm cable is the thing to plan first

Our page was cut off just as it said so. The Shea comes with300mm of cable that is 30 centimetres, and on alow-voltage garden run it decides everything: the joiner or connector has to be within300mm of the fitting, which usually means behind or immediately belowit, in a position that stays dry. Plan the cable route before the wall is finished, notafter.

24 volts a transformer is required and is notsupplied. The transformer has to sit somewhere dry, be sized for the whole run and be wiredby an electrician. We stock a 24V 60W and a 24V 200W outdoorunit; at 3W each, the 60W drives a long run of Sheas.Tell us your layout and we will size it.

Low voltage is why this is a good exterior fitting

ClassIII, under 54V. The 240V stops at the transformer, so thecable running to each wall light is low voltage safer aroundgarden work, render and later alterations, and far easier to extend or re-position.An electrician wires the transformer; adding a fitting to the run afterwards does not need one.

150 lumens a marker on a facade

3W, and correctly small. At 110mm tall by 35mmwide, projecting 71mm, the Shea is apunctuation mark on a wall, not a light for finding your keys by. Usedin a repeated run along a facade, a path wall or a fence line, that is exactly right a rhythm of small warm points. Used singly beside a door, it willdisappoint.

Three finishes, and the two unusual ones are the good ones

Rust, verde green and black. Therust reads as weathered steel and sits naturally againstbrick, timber and rendered earth tones; verde green disappears intoplanting. Both are far less common than black, and on a facade where you want thelight and not the fitting, that matters. All three are sand-finished, so they do notshow salt or water marks.

No CRI is recorded for the Shea, where theRilto garden spike the same 24V range, the same aluminium andpolycarbonate, the same 3W records above 95. If the surface you arelighting is planting or natural stone and colour matters, ask us about the Riltoinstead.

Where it works

• Repeated runs along a facade, path wall or fence line.
• Sheltered walls, porches, courtyards and covered entries.
• Low-voltage garden circuits that may be extended later.
• Plan around IP54 ask us before a fully exposed position.
• Only 300mm of cable. Plan the joiner position first.

Questions

Is it IP54 or IP65?

Our own page said both IP65 in the description, IP54 in the table beneath it. The datasheet says IP65 and our record says IP54, and nothing can settle it. Plan around IP54, the lower and safer figure: sheltered walls, porches, courtyards, covered entries. If your position is fully exposed, ask us and we will confirm with Telbix before you order.

How much cable does it come with?

300mm 30 centimetres. On a low-voltage run that decides everything: the joiner has to be within 300mm of the fitting, usually behind or immediately below it, in a position that stays dry. Plan the cable route before the wall is finished.

Do I need a transformer?

Yes, and none is supplied. It has to sit somewhere dry, be sized for the whole run and be wired by an electrician. We stock a 24V 60W and a 200W outdoor unit; at 3W each the 60W drives a long run. Tell us your layout and we will size it.

Is 150 lumens enough?

For a repeated run along a facade, path wall or fence line, yes a rhythm of small warm points is exactly what it is for. Beside a single door on its own, it will disappoint.

Which finish should I choose?

Rust reads as weathered steel and sits naturally against brick, timber and rendered earth tones; verde green disappears into planting. Both are far less common than black, and on a facade where you want the light and not the fitting, that matters.

What is its colour rendering?

Not recorded which is worth knowing, because the Rilto garden spike in the same 24V range, same materials and same wattage records CRI above 95. If you are lighting planting or natural stone and colour matters, ask us about the Rilto instead.

Is low voltage better outside?

Yes, and easier. The 240V stops at the transformer, so the cable running to each fitting is low voltage safer around garden work, render and later alterations, and far easier to extend. An electrician wires the transformer; adding a fitting afterwards does not need one.
