The Ashford is a 273mm exterior wall light in aluminium and polycarbonate one E27 globe, IP44 in black or corten.

It reaches 300mm out

The number that decides where it can go. The Ashford is 215mm wide and 273mmtall but projects 300mm further than it is wide ortall. That deep reach throws light outward across a path or a doorway ratherthan down the wall behind it, which is exactly what you want over an entry. It also meansit does not belong on a narrow walkway, where a shoulder or a car door will find it.Measure before ordering.

Corten, which weathers rather than degrades

The rust-toned corten finish is designed to look weathered from day one. Againstrender, timber cladding or natural stone it warms the facade in a way black metal does not, and it hasno new phase to grow out of. Black is the graphicalternative it disappears by day and lets only the light read at night.

Aluminium and polycarbonate together

Metal where it needs strength, plastic where it needs to resist the weather sonothing rusts and the fitting keeps its shape. On a coastal or high-rainfall site thatcombination outlasts a painted steel lantern by years.

IP44 covered positions. Its own specification saysOutdoor (Covered Area): protection against splashing water from any direction. An eave, aporch, a covered walkway. For a fully exposed wall, ask us about the IP65fittings.

One E27 globe to 25W, not supplied

An ordinary replaceable globe, so you choose the brightness and the colourtemperature and can change them later. Dimming is globe dependent ourrecord says it does not dim, and the record is wrong. A sealed-LED exterior light fails as a wholefitting; this one you re-globe.

Where it works

Questions

How far does it stick out?

300mm further than it is wide or tall. That deep reach throws light outward across a path or doorway rather than down the wall, but it does not belong on a narrow walkway. Measure before ordering.

What is corten?

A rust-toned finish designed to look weathered from day one. Against render, timber or natural stone it warms the facade, and it has no “new” phase to grow out of.

Can I dim it?

Yes, with a dimmable globe. Our record says no; the datasheet says globe dependent and it is right.

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.

Will it rust?

No aluminium and polycarbonate. Metal where it needs strength, plastic where it needs to resist the weather.

What globe does it take?

One E27 up to 25W, not supplied so you choose the brightness and colour temperature and can change them later.

Black or corten?

Corten warms a render, timber or stone facade; black disappears by day and lets only the light read at night.
