The Eldon is a compact 270mm outdoor wall light in aluminium and glass with asand finish, in black or white, rated IP43.

White, which is rare outdoors

Exterior wall lights are almost universally black, bronze or brass.White stays visually light against a rendered or painted facade rather thanpunctuating it with a dark block genuinely worth considering on a pale house, and something veryfew ranges offer.

Sand finish resists what gloss does not

A fine textured powder coat rather than a smooth one. Outdoors it hides water spotting andmarks, and it does not develop the chalky bloom that gloss gets after a few years of sun.

Small, so it fits where lanterns do not

270mm high, 140mm wide, 170mm projection. Most exterior walllights run 350550mm. The Eldon suits a narrow door surround, a side passage, a fence postor a run down a courtyard wall places where a full-size lantern is simply too much.

IP43 rain and vertical spray only. A step below theIP44 typical of exterior fittings. Keep it on a wall with some shelter; it isnot for hosing, full exposure or coastal salt spray.

E27 to 25W, not supplied

A replaceable globe rather than a sealed LED, so the colour temperature is your choice and a failurecosts a globe.

Where it works

• Narrow door surrounds and side passages.
• Courtyard walls, in a run.
• Rendered or painted pale facades, in white.

Questions

Is white a sensible choice outdoors?

On a rendered or painted pale facade, yes it stays visually light where black punctuates the wall. Very few exterior ranges offer it.

No. IP43 is rain and vertical spray only, a step below the usual IP44. Keep it on a sheltered wall.

How big is it?

270mm high by 140mm wide, projecting 170mm considerably smaller than a typical 350550mm exterior lantern.

What is a sand finish?

A fine textured powder coat. It hides water spotting and does not develop the chalky bloom gloss gets after years of sun.

Is a globe included?

No. One E27 globe up to 25W, supplied separately.

Can I install it myself?
