The Fadro EX10 is a 100mm exterior wall light inblack or white 3W giving 365lm, withswitchable 3000K / 4000K / 5000K, IP65.

365 lumens from 3 watts unusually efficient, and here is the caveat

122lm/W is near the top of what a complete LED fittingachieves. It is not an error: the 180mm Fadro gives 620lm from5W, an identical 124lm/W, so the two confirm each other.

But no CRI figure is recorded for either size, and that isalmost certainly the trade. Efficiency that high is normally bought bygiving up colour rendering. On a small exterior marker that matters far less than ona fitting washing a feature wall but if colour accuracy matters to your facade,the Lorsa and Eyvor fittings in this range record CRI above 90 and are the betterchoice. Ask us if you need the Fadros figure and we will get it fromTelbix.

Tiny, and that is the point

100mm long, 80mm high, projecting 67mm, on an86mm backplate, at 0.3kg. This isone of the smallest exterior fittings in the catalogue small enough todisappear on a wall in daylight and still put out 365lm at night. On astep, a gatepost, a narrow pier or a run down a path, that combination is exactlywhat you want.

Polycarbonate, and it is a coastal advantage

Polycarbonate throughout in a sand finish:there is no metal to corrode. In a salt-air position itoutlasts an aluminium fitting that will pit and chalk, which is why the range isdescribed for coastal living. Polycarbonate also does not yellow or crack the way cheaper acrylicdoes.

IP65 genuinely exposed-rated. Dust-tight and ratedagainst water jets, so it goes on an unsheltered wall in driven rain and can behosed down. It is ClassII double insulated, no earth required, whichsimplifies the install, and not dimmable; the switch changes colour, notlevel.

Three colour temperatures, on a fitting this size

3000K warm, 4000K natural, 5000K cool, switchable unusual on anything this small. In a run of several down a path or a facade itmeans you can match them to the surface after they are up, rather than guessing.

The smaller of two

The Fadro also comes at 180mm, at 5W and620lm. Same depth, same colours, same efficiency sothe two mix on one facade with no visible difference except size andbrightness.

Where it works

• Steps, gateposts, narrow piers and path runs small and IP65.
• Coastal positions polycarbonate, no metal to corrode.
• In runs, alongside 180mm Fadros.
• Not for a feature wall where colour accuracy matters no CRI is recorded.
• Not dimmable the switch changes colour only.

Questions

365 lumens from 3 watts is that right?

Yes. It is 122lm/W, near the top of what a complete LED fitting achieves, and the 180mm Fadro gives 620lm from 5W at an identical 124 the two confirm each other.

What is the CRI?

Not recorded, for either size and that is almost certainly the trade for efficiency that high. If colour accuracy matters to your facade, the Lorsa and Eyvor fittings in this range record CRI above 90 and are the better choice. Ask us if you need the Fadros figure.

How small is it?

100mm long, 80mm high, projecting 67mm, at 0.3kg one of the smallest exterior fittings in the catalogue. Small enough to disappear on a wall in daylight and still put out 365lm at night.

Is it good near the sea?

Better than most. It is polycarbonate throughout, so there is no metal to corrode in a salt-air position it outlasts an aluminium fitting that will pit and chalk.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

Yes IP65 is dust-tight and rated against water jets, so it takes driven rain and can be hosed down.

Can I change the colour temperature?

Yes 3000K, 4000K or 5000K, which is unusual on a fitting this small. In a run down a path or facade it lets you match them to the surface after they are up.

Can I mix it with the 180mm?

Yes same depth, same colours, same efficiency. The two differ only in size and brightness.
