The Bloc EX5 is a compact exterior wall sconce with a built-in 5W LED no globe to buy, none to replace. It throws a soft angled wash rather than a hard up/down split, whichmakes it the quieter member of the Bloc family.

A 140 beam is a wash, not a beam

At 140 the light is spread very wide, so it lifts a whole wall or a corridorevenly instead of drawing scallops. That is the right choice where you want a surface to read as litrather than patterned a passage, a boundary wall, an alfresco ceiling line. If you want visibleup-and-down scallops on a feature wall, the larger Bloc EX8 up/down is the one tospecify instead.

Colour temperature is set on site

It is a 3CCT fitting: a switch selects 3000K, 4000K or5000K before mounting. Set every fitting in a run before any of them go up matching them afterwards means taking them all down. 3000K suits render, brick and timber;5000K reads clinical on a house and belongs on a commercial frontage.

Where it works

• Passages, side paths and boundary walls needing even light rather than pattern.
• Alfresco and courtyard walls, at or just above head height.
• Project and multi-residential frontages, where one CCT setting keeps a whole building consistent.
• Indoors as well the IP65 rating is no disadvantage in a laundry or garage.

Specifying it

It is 220mm long and 113mm high in polycarbonate, drawing5W for 400lm on a 140 spread. Rated IP65 dust-tight and protected against water jets so it is genuinely suitable for an exposed wall.The LED is built in and not replaceable, and the fitting isnot dimmable.

Supplied and supported by Lights For You. Because it is non-dimmable, put it on its own switchrather than a dimmed circuit shared with interior lighting.

Questions

How bright is it?

400lm from a built-in 5W LED, spread across a wide 140 beam.

Can I choose the colour temperature?

Yes, at installation a switch selects 3000K, 4000K or 5000K. Set every fitting in a run before mounting.

Is it dimmable?

No. Put it on its own switch rather than a dimmed circuit.

Is there a globe to replace?

No. The LED is built in and is not replaceable.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

Yes. It is IP65 dust-tight and protected against water jets.

How is it different from the Bloc up/down?

This one gives a wide 140 wash from a single 5W LED. The EX8 splits 8W into separate up and down beams for visible scallops.

How big is it?

220mm long and 113mm high, in polycarbonate.
