The Delore EX is a 170mm exterior wall light with a flared shade and arounded opal diffuser one globe to 25W, not supplied IP44, in vintage brass, black sand or white sand.

ASK US WHICH GLOBE IT TAKES BEFORE YOU BUY ONE. Ourdatasheet says E14 (the small candle base); our record and the old page sayE27 (the standard large screw). They are different globes, and thewrong one simply will not fit. We cannot settle it from what we hold the page is generatedfrom the record, so those two are one source, not two.Ask us and we will confirm with Telbix, or wait until the fitting is in your handsbefore buying a globe.

It is an OUTDOOR fitting, rated IP44. Our record saysIP20 and the old specification table said Usage: Indoor on a product whose title, type and own application field all say exterior.IP20 means no weather protection at all, so that pairing was not just wrong butdangerous to act on. The datasheet says IP44, and that is what is published.

IP44 means covered, not exposed

Worth being precise, because the ratings are not interchangeable.IP44 is rated against splashing water from any direction rain that reaches awall, spray off a path. It is not rated against jets or heavy driven rain. So:under an eave, in a porch, on a sheltered courtyard wall, beside a door.Not on the weather side of the house, and not where a sprinkler hits it. If you needan exposed wall, the IP65 fittings in this range are the ones.

A 280mm projection it reaches well out

That is the number to plan around. The Delore stands280mm off the wall on a 120mm backplate, which ismore than most exterior wall lights in this range. The flared shade hangs out overthe ground, so light lands on the path in front of the door rather than down the wall genuinely useful at an entry, and an obstruction in a narrow walkway. Measure the space.

A flared shade over an opal diffuser

The flared aluminium shade directs light downward and shields the source fromabove; the rounded opal diffuser beneath it spreads what comes through so there isno bright point to look into from below. That combination directional above, diffuse below is what gives it the mid-century, Scandicharacter rather than the utilitarian look of a bulkhead.

Three finishes

Vintage brass is warm and ages gracefully outdoors;black sand disappears at night and hides marks;white sand stays bright against pale render. All sand-texturedrather than gloss, which outdoors matters gloss shows salt, dust and water marks.

It is ClassI earth required and hard-wired, at1.1kg. A licensed electrician installs it genuinely, on this page.Dimming is globe dependent: a dimmable globe with a wall dimmer will dim it; a plainone will not. Our record says No, which is misleading.

Where it works

• Entries and doorways under cover the projection lights the path.
• Porches, eaves and sheltered courtyard walls.
• Not on an exposed wall IP44, not IP65.
• Not in a narrow walkway it projects 280mm.
• Confirm the globe base with us before buying a globe.

Questions

What globe does it take?

We cannot tell you with confidence, and it matters our datasheet says E14 (small candle base) and our record and page say E27 (standard large screw). They are different globes and the wrong one will not fit. Ask us and we will confirm with Telbix, or wait until the fitting is in your hands.

Is it indoor or outdoor?

Outdoor, rated IP44. Our record says IP20 and the old table said Usage: Indoor on a product whose title, type and own application field all say exterior. IP20 means no weather protection at all, so that pairing was dangerous to act on.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

No. IP44 is rated against splashing water rain reaching a wall, spray off a path not jets or heavy driven rain. Under an eave, in a porch or on a sheltered courtyard wall. If you need an exposed position, the IP65 fittings in this range are the ones.

How far does it stick out?

280mm, on a 120mm backplate more than most exterior wall lights here. The flared shade hangs out over the ground, so light lands on the path in front of the door rather than down the wall. Useful at an entry, an obstruction in a narrow walkway.

Will I see the globe?

No the flared shade shields the source from above and the rounded opal diffuser spreads what comes through, so there is no bright point to look into from below.

Which finish should I choose?

Vintage brass is warm and ages gracefully outdoors; black sand disappears at night and hides marks; white sand stays bright against pale render. All sand-textured rather than gloss, which matters outdoors gloss shows salt, dust and water marks.

Can I dim it?

It depends on the globe. A dimmable globe with a wall dimmer will dim; a plain one will not. Our record says No, which is misleading.
