The Tobera is a tall, slim exterior wall light 400mm high and 120mmwide, in brass, taking a GU10 globe. Replaceable globes on anexterior fitting is the argument for it.

Maximum 6W per GU10. That is a low ceiling for a GU10socket and rules out most halogen lamps. Buy LED globes rated at or below 6W which isplenty of light from a directional lamp, and overrunning it cooks the fitting.

A globe you can change, outdoors

Most compact exterior fittings at this price have a sealed LED, so a failure means replacing thewhole unit off a ladder. The Tobera takes a GU10, so it outlives its globes and you choose thebeam angle and colour temperature yourself.

Brass, in three finishes

Matt black, natural brass and bronze. All three are brass underneath, so none of them will rust-stainthe wall. Natural brass will patina outdoors; the black and bronze hold a more constant appearance.

Where it works

• Entries and porches, in pairs either side of a door.
• Narrow piers and columns, where 120mm suits the width.
• Boundary walls in a run at even centres.
• Coastal sites, where brass outperforms painted steel.
