Stor 30W LED bunker light in black

The Stor is a surface-mounted bunker light the flat, robust wall fitting used on garages, side passages, stairwells, plant rooms and the back of commercial buildings, where the job is reliable light on a surface rather than decoration. At 30W it is at the working end of that category, rated up to 2400lm, which is enough to light a driveway apron or a service corridor rather than merely mark it.

The body is aluminium with a polycarbonate diffuser and carries an IP54 rating, so it is protected against dust and splashing water from any direction. IP54 is a sheltered-exterior rating rather than a hose-down one: an eave, a soffit, a garage wall or a covered walkway suits it, while a fully exposed wall taking driven rain calls for a higher IP.

Light output and colour temperature

The Stor is tri-colour, so the colour temperature is selected on the fitting at installation rather than fixed when it is manufactured: 3000K, 4000K or 5500K. Output follows that selection at 2250lm, 2325lm and 2400lm. Colour rendering is rated at 80 CRI or better, and the beam is a wide 120, which is what makes a single bunker light cover a whole doorway or landing rather than producing a bright patch under itself.

For a utility fitting the colder settings usually earn their place: 5500K reads as brighter for the same output and suits a garage or workshop, while 3000K keeps a covered entry looking domestic. The fitting is not dimmable, so it is designed for a switch, a sensor or a timer.

Power and installation

The Stor runs on 240V AC mains and needs no driver, so it is a straightforward mains connection for a licensed electrician. The LED is built into the fitting there is no lamp base, no globe to buy with it and nothing to replace later, which is the point of a fitting mounted where a ladder is needed to reach it.

This listing is the plain-faced Stor in black. The same range includes a version with an eyelid shroud, which shields the upper part of the output and throws the light downward worth considering where the fitting sits near a bedroom window or where a neighbour looks onto the wall.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mount it on an exposed wall?

It is rated IP54, which covers dust and splashing water. That suits sheltered exterior positions such as under an eave or in a covered walkway. A wall taking driven rain head-on calls for a higher IP rating.

Does it need a driver?

No. It runs directly on 240V AC mains.

Is there a globe to replace?

No. The 30W LED is built into the fitting, so there is no lamp base and no globe.

Can it be dimmed?

No. The Stor is not a dimmable fitting and is intended to run at full output.

How do I set the colour temperature?

It is selected on the fitting during installation 3000K, 4000K or 5500K so it is worth deciding before the fitting goes on the wall.
