The Hollis 25 is a 250mm exterior wall light with abubble and seed glass shade integrated 10W LED giving500lm at 3000K, IP44 in black or white.

Bubble and seed glass, which is doing real work

Seeded glass has deliberate air bubbles suspended in it theeffect glassmakers once tried to eliminate, now made on purpose. Lit, each bubblecatches and scatters a point of light, so the shade develops depth and sparkle insteadof glowing flat. On an exterior wall at night, that is the difference between a lantern that lookshandmade and one that looks moulded.

The LED is integrated

10W and 500lm, included. Nothing to buy, nothing to match across a paireither side of a door, and no globe to replace behind sealed glass. The trade is that it is a sealedunit which is what the three-year replacement warranty covers.

500 lumens is a proper entry light

Enough to light a doorway and the step below it properly you can find akeyhole and see who is there. It is not a flood and not a marker.

3000K, warm and fixed

No colour selection. Warm white is the right default at an entry: it reads aswelcome rather than security, and it flatters brick, render and timber.

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

Aluminium and glass

Aluminium does not rust, which outdoors matters more than any finish steellanterns bleed at the fixings long before the paint fails. Sand finish, in black or white.

Questions

What is bubble and seed glass?

Glass with deliberate air bubbles suspended in it the effect glassmakers once tried to eliminate, now made on purpose. Each bubble catches and scatters a point of light, so the shade has depth and sparkle rather than glowing flat.

Do I need to buy a globe?

No. The LED is integrated and included, so nothing to match across a pair either side of a door and no globe to replace behind sealed glass.

How bright is it?

500lm enough to light a doorway and the step below it properly. You can find a keyhole and see who is there.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

Not on our advice. Its own specification says “Outdoor (Covered)” IP44 is splash protection. Ask us about the IP65 fittings for a fully exposed position.

Can I change the colour temperature?

No 3000K warm white, fixed. That is the right default at an entry: welcome rather than security, and it flatters brick, render and timber.

Will it rust?

No, it is aluminium which outdoors matters more than any finish.

Is there a bigger one?

Yes, a 35cm Hollis.
