The EOS2 EX1 is a 90mm single exterior wall light in polycarbonate one GU10 lamp, IP54 in black or white.

Built for salt air

The EOS2 is polycarbonate rather than metal, and that is the specification thatmatters within a few kilometres of the sea. Nothing corrodes no rust bleedingdown the render, no fixings weeping after two summers, no bubbling paint. Painted aluminium is fineinland; on a coastal wall, plastic wins.

Very small and that is the use case

70mm wide, 90mm high, 0.2kg. This is the smallest exterior fittingin the range. It disappears on a wall, which makes it right fora run of several down a fence line, a path or a facade where you want the light and notthe fittings. The up-and-down EOS2 is the same width and 160mm tall, sothe two mix along one wall and still read as a family.

The lamp is not included which works in your favour

One GU10 to 6W, supplied separately. That meansyou choose the colour temperature and the beam angle narrow for a tightarchitectural column, wide for a softer wash and you can change your mind later. A sealed-LEDfitting gives you no such choice and fails as a whole unit.

IP54 covered positions. Dust protected and resistant tosplashing water. Its own specification says Outdoor (Covered) an eave, a porch or acovered walkway. For a fully exposed wall, ask us about the IP65 fittings.

Double insulated

ClassII no earth required, which is unusual outdoors and means fewerconnections to make and fewer to corrode.

Questions

Why is it plastic rather than metal?

Salt air. Polycarbonate does not corrode no rust bleeding down the render, no weeping fixings, no bubbling paint. Painted aluminium is fine inland; on a coastal wall, plastic wins.

How small is it?

70 90mm at 0.2kg the smallest exterior fitting in the range. It disappears on a wall, which is right for a run where you want the light and not the fittings.

Can I mix it with the up-and-down version?

Yes the twin is the same width and 160mm tall, so the two read as one family along a wall.

Is a lamp included?

No, and that works in your favour you choose the colour temperature and beam angle, and can change your mind later. A sealed-LED fitting gives you no such choice.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

Not on our advice. IP54 is dust protected and splash resistant; its own specification says “Outdoor (Covered)”. Ask us about the IP65 fittings.

Can I dim it?

That depends on the lamp you fit.

Is it hard to install?

Easier than most ClassII, no earth required. A licensed electrician is still needed.
