The Bloc is a compact up/down exterior wall light with a built-in LED noglobe to buy and none to replace. It throws a narrow wash up the wall and another down it, which is theeffect most people actually want from an exterior wall light: the wall is lit, not the neighbour.

Colour temperature is chosen at installation, not at purchase

This is a 3CCT fitting: a switch selects 3000K, 4000K or5000K before it goes on the wall. That matters when you are lighting a whole elevation you can set every fitting the same on site, and change your mind after seeing one lit at nightrather than committing at order time. 3000K suits render and brick; 5000K reads clinical ona house and is usually the wrong choice outside a commercial frontage.

Two beams of 4W each

The fitting draws 8W in total 4W up and 4W down, on a100 beam. That is a wide spread for an up/down, so the scallops on the wall aresoft and broad rather than tight. Spacing of about 2.5m to 3m along an elevation gives aneven rhythm; closer than that and the scallops merge into a flat wash.

Where it works

• Front elevations and boundary walls, spaced evenly to graze the surface.
• Entry paths and steps, where the downward beam does the useful work.
• Alfresco and courtyard walls, at or just above head height.
• Project and commercial frontages, where the fixed CCT choice keeps a whole run consistent.
