The Attix is a 330mm LED wall bar in a40 40mm section 10W giving 610lm at CRI above90, IP44 in black or white.

CRI above 90 on an exterior fitting

The specification worth paying for. Exterior lights are usually chosen on lumens and IP alone and sitat CRI80. At >90 the Attix rendersbrick, render, timber cladding and planting the way they actually look and on afitting whose entire job is grazing a wall, colour accuracy is what you are actuallybuying. A CRI80 bar makes the same render look grey.

A bar, not a lantern which changes what it does

330mm long and only 40mm square. Mounted vertically it draws aclean line of light up a wall; horizontally it washes a band across it. Either way thefitting almost disappears and you see the lit surface instead. That is the opposite of alantern, which asks to be looked at.

The silicon diffuser is doing the work

Alongside aluminium there is a silicon diffusing element absent from ourrecord. Over a 330mm run it is what produces an even, continuous line rather thana row of visible LED dots. Without it the bar would look like what it is; with it, it looks like astroke of light.

Small and light

0.45kg it hangs off an ordinary wall box, and the slim section meansit can sit in a reveal or beside a door without projecting into the space.

IP44 covered positions. Its own specification saysOutdoor (Covered Area): protection against splashing water from any direction. An eave, a porch,a covered walkway. For a fully exposed wall, ask us about the IP65 fittings.

3000K, warm and fixed

No colour selection. Warm white is the right default where the fitting grazes brick, render ortimber it flatters warm materials, where a cool white would make them look cold.

Where it works

• Grazing render, brick or timber cladding.
• Doorway reveals and narrow piers.
• Covered entries, in a run.
• Under cover ask us for IP65 if exposed.

Questions

What does CRI above 90 give me?

Brick, render, timber cladding and planting rendered the way they actually look. On a fitting whose job is grazing a wall, colour accuracy is what you are buying a CRI 80 bar makes the same render look grey.

How should I mount it?

Vertically it draws a clean line of light up a wall; horizontally it washes a band across it. Either way the fitting almost disappears and you see the lit surface.

Why does it look like a continuous line rather than dots?

A silicon diffuser over the LEDs absent from our record spreads the output evenly across the 330mm run.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

Not on our advice. Its own specification says “Outdoor (Covered Area)” IP44 is splash protection. Ask us about the IP65 fittings.

Can I change the colour temperature?

No 3000K warm white, fixed. That is right where it grazes brick, render or timber; a cool white would make warm materials look cold.

How far does it stick out?

Only 40mm, so it fits in a reveal or beside a door without projecting into the space.

Do I need globes?

No. The LED is integrated and included.
