The Gorem EX is a 150mm exterior wall light with an opal sphere in black sand one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied IP54.

IP54 splash-rated, so a sheltered position.IP54 is protection against splashing water, not jets or driving rain. In practice:under an eave, a porch, a verandah or a protected facade yes;a fully exposed wall taking wind-driven rain no.

If your position is exposed or coastal, ask us about the Walsh(IP65, solid brass or 316 stainless) or the Terin(IP65, low voltage). Tell us the position and we will match therating.

The opal sphere and why it makes the globe easy

Opal glass diffuses completely. The globe inside isinvisible, and the sphere glows as a single even surface withno glare from any angle.

That is worth contrasting with the Provo exterior light in this catalogue, whichuses clear glass: there, the globe is the whole look, and you mustbuy a decorative filament for the fitting to make sense. Here you must not bother nothingshows through opal, so:

• Brightness and warmth are the only decisions. No filament, no shape, noappearance.
• Choose warm 2700K a warm globe makes an opal sphere read asinviting; a cool one makes it look like a security light.
• Use an LED rated for ENCLOSED fittings. The Gorem is asealed sphere, and heat with nowhere to go is what kills LED globes.Many are rated for open fittings only, and it is printed on the box.

Ask us and we will match one.

The globe is replaceable which most exterior fittings here are not

Nearly every outdoor light in this range has a sealed integrated LED: when thediode fails, the fitting is finished. The Gorem takes a standard E27, soyou choose the output and colour and you can replace it in ten years on a fitting that will sit beside a door for a decade, that is a real advantage.

It also dims, with the right globe. Our record carriedno dimming information at all and the old specification table hadno dimming row; the datasheet says globe dependent. On anopal sphere dimming is genuinely nice low, it becomes a soft marker ratherthan a light.

One correction to our own data: our record flags theGorem as a colour-changing fitting. It cannot be. It holds ascrew-in globe and contains no integrated LED, no driver and no control of anykind. Whatever colour you screw into it is the colour it stays.

150 by 205mm, projecting 130

A compact sphere-and-arm at 0.7kg, which fixes to render,brick or fibre cement without special provision. The 130mm projection gives itpresence on a wall more than the Terin’s 30mm, less than the Cosca’s 170.

The backplate is 90mm on a150mm fitting. On a replacement, that small platemay not cover the marks left by whatever came off the wall. Measure first.

It has a matching bollard

Gorem is made as a wall light and a bollard in the same language the sameopal sphere, the same sand finish. That is genuinely useful and rare: most exterior schemes end upmismatched because few ranges make both, so the wall light at the door and thebollards down the path come from different families. With a Gorem theyread as one decision.

The sand finish is right outdoors gloss shows salt,dust and water marks, and a textured coat does not. ClassI earthrequired, hard-wired, so a licensed electrician installs it.

Where it works

• Sheltered entries, porches and protected facades.
• Beside front doors no glare from any angle.
• Paired with Gorem bollards along a path, as one scheme.
• IP54 not a fully exposed wall. Ask us about the Walsh or Terin at IP65.
• Use an LED rated for enclosed fittings it is a sealed sphere.

Questions

Can it go on an exposed wall?

No. IP54 is protection against splashing water, not jets or driving rain so under an eave, porch, verandah or protected facade, yes; a fully exposed wall, no. For exposed or coastal positions ask us about the Walsh (IP65, solid brass or 316 stainless) or the Terin (IP65, low voltage).

What globe should I buy?

Nothing decorative opal glass diffuses completely, so the globe is invisible and brightness and warmth are the only decisions. Choose warm 2700K, because a warm globe makes an opal sphere read as inviting while a cool one makes it look like a security light. And use an LED rated for enclosed fittings: the sphere is sealed, and heat with nowhere to go kills LED globes.

Is a globe included?

No one E27 to 25W, your choice and replaceable. That is an advantage: nearly every other outdoor light in this range has a sealed integrated LED, and when the diode fails the fitting is finished.

Does it change colour?

No, and our record is wrong to flag it as colour changing. It holds a screw-in globe and contains no integrated LED, no driver and no control of any kind whatever colour you screw into it is the colour it stays.

Can I dim it?

With a dimmable globe, yes. Our record carried no dimming information at all and the old table had no dimming row; the datasheet has it as globe dependent. On an opal sphere it is genuinely nice low, it becomes a soft marker rather than a light.

Is there a matching bollard?

Yes, in the same opal sphere and sand finish. That is rare and useful: most exterior schemes end up mismatched because few ranges make both, so the wall light at the door and the bollards down the path come from different families.

Will it cover the marks from my old fitting?

Possibly not the backplate is 90mm on a 150mm fitting. Measure what is on the wall first.
