The Brixon EX40 is a 400mm exterior wall light in aluminium and glass with afrost polycarbonate diffuser integrated 18W LED giving720lm at 3000K, IP44 in sand black.

Forty centimetres tall an architectural statement

This is a large exterior fitting. At 400mm high on a114mm backplate, it is meant to be seen: a strong vertical mark on a facade, anentry or a covered wall, where a small lantern would look apologetic. Measure the wall and note it stands 180mm proud.

The smaller one is 300mm

Brixon is made in two sizes, and they scale honestly:30cm at 16W and 640lm, 40cm at 18W and720lm. Same efficiency, proportional output unlike some ranges in this catalogue,you get more light for the larger fitting.

Glass with a frost diffuser behind it

Two layers doing different jobs: glass for the outer face, with afrost polycarbonate diffuser inside it. The glass gives the fitting substance andweathers well; the frost layer spreads the LED evenly so a 400mm face glowsuniformly rather than showing hot spots. Either alone would compromise one or the other.

Substantial 3.4kg

Aluminium and glass rather than plastic, and you can feel it. Worth mentioning to your electricianfor the fixing.

IP44 covered positions. Its own specification saysOutdoor (Covered Area): protection against splashing water from any direction. An eave, a porch,a covered walkway. For a fully exposed wall, ask us about the IP65 fittings.

3000K, warm and fixed

No colour selection and no dimming. Warm white is the right default on a facade it flattersbrick, render and timber, where a cool white makes them look cold.

The LED is integrated

Included and sealed nothing to buy and nothing to match across a pair eitherside of a door. Three-year replacement warranty.

Where it works

• Facades and entries, as an architectural mark.
• Covered walkways and porches.
• Beside large doors, where a small lantern would look lost.
• Under cover ask us for IP65 if exposed.

Questions

How big is it?

400mm tall, 146mm wide, standing 180mm proud of the wall. It is a large exterior fitting, meant to be a strong vertical mark on a facade.

How does it compare to the 30cm Brixon?

The range scales honestly 30cm gives 640lm from 16W, 40cm gives 720lm from 18W. Same efficiency, proportional output.

Why glass AND a polycarbonate diffuser?

The glass gives substance and weathers well; the frost layer behind spreads the LED evenly so a 400mm face glows uniformly rather than showing hot spots. Either alone would compromise one or the other.

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.

Can I change the colour temperature?

No 3000K warm white, fixed. That is right on a facade; it flatters brick, render and timber where a cool white makes them look cold.

How heavy is it?

3.4kg aluminium and glass rather than plastic. Worth mentioning to your electrician for the fixing.

Do I need globes?

No. The LED is integrated and included, so nothing to match across a pair.
