The Bayside is a traditional bulkhead-style exterior wall light in 316 stainless steel with a glass diffuser, built to take an E27 globe rather than a sealed LED. That is the reason to choose it: the light source is a standard screw-base globe you can buy anywhere and change yourself, so the fitting outlives whatever globe technology is current. It measures 110mm wide, 113mm deep and 235mm high, and comes in stainless steel, black or white. The rating is IP54, so plan a sheltered position under an eave or a covered entry, not on an unprotected facade.

The choice to make

Finish is your only variant decision: HV3659W-SS316 in stainless steel, HV3659W-BLK in black or HV3659W-WHT in white. The stainless version suits coastal frontages; black and white are powder-coated for a specified colour match. The light itself depends on the globe you fit with a nominal 8W, 800lm, 2700K warm-white globe, the glass diffuser spreads a soft 180 wash rather than a directional beam.

Where it works

• Front entries under an eave, flanking a door in a matched pair.
• Covered verandahs and porches on weatherboard or brick homes.
• Garage and carport walls protected by the roof overhang.
• Sheltered coastal entries, using the 316 stainless version against salt air.

Specifying it

The Bayside is 240V and wires straight to mains no driver or transformer is involved. It is a Class1 fitting and requires an earth. The globe is an E27 large screw base and it is fully replaceable; a B22 bayonet, E14 or GU10 globe will not fit the socket. No socket wattage ceiling is published for this fitting, so check the maximum stated on the fitting’s own label before buying a globe and stay within it particularly relevant here because the glass diffuser encloses the lamp and traps heat. The fitting is dimmable, but that depends on the globe you fit being a dimmable type and on a compatible dimmer. Rated life of a suitable LED globe exceeds 30,000hours; impact rating is IK02.

Supplied by Lights For You the Bayside takes a standard E27 globe, so add a warm-white LED globe to the order rather than discovering the fitting arrives unlit.
