The Lesen is an indoor adjustable wall light: a compact aluminium body on a surface-mounted plate, with a head that can be turned to aim the light where it is wanted. What separates it from most wall lights at this size is the control it is touch dimming, built into the fitting itself, so brightness is set by touching the fitting rather than by a dimmer on the wall or a switch in the board.

The choice to make

The decision is finish, and there are four: antique brass (HV3689T-AB), black (HV3689T-BLK), black brass (HV3689T-BLKBR) and white (HV3689T-WHT). All four are the same fitting at the same price with identical output, so this is purely how it should read against the wall the brasses for warmth against timber or a dark paint, the black or white to disappear into a plaster wall.

Colour temperature is tri-colour, set at install, and the output does not simply climb: 85 lm at 3000K, 110 lm at 4000K and 105 lm at 5500K. These are deliberately modest figures. The Lesen is an accent and reading-adjacent fitting a bedside light, a picture wash, a hallway marker not a fitting intended to light a room.

Where it works

• Either side of a bed as a reading or ambient light, with the dimming set by touch.
• Hallways and stairwells, aimed to graze the wall.
• Beside artwork or a mirror, angled onto the subject.
• Living areas as a layered accent alongside the main lighting.

Specifying it

The rating is the specification that decides where this fitting may be used: IP20 means indoor only. It has no protection against water and must not be installed outdoors, in a bathroom zone, on a porch or anywhere that takes splashing or condensation. That is a hard limit, not a preference.

Electrically it is 240 V AC, wired to mains with no driver, and it is protection class 1 an earth is required at the fitting, so it is not a swap for a class 2 fitting without checking the existing wiring. The 5 W LED is built in, so there is no globe to buy or replace. Dimming is by touch on the fitting and needs no wall dimmer; do not add one to the circuit, because the dimming is already handled inside the fitting. If you are choosing between the four finishes, Lights For You can send current photographs of any of them against a sample wall colour before you commit to a pair.

Questions

Can the Lesen be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. It is IP20, which means indoor use only with no protection against water. It must not be installed outdoors, in a bathroom zone, or anywhere exposed to splashing or condensation.

How is it dimmed?

By touch, on the fitting itself. The dimming is built in, so it does not need and should not have a wall dimmer on the circuit.

Which colour temperature is brightest?

The middle setting. It produces 85 lm at 3000K, 110 lm at 4000K and 105 lm at 5500K, so 4000K is brightest rather than the coolest.

What globe does it take?

None. The 5 W LED is built into the fitting, so there is nothing to buy with it and nothing to replace.

Which finishes are available?

Four: antique brass, black, black brass and white. All are the same fitting at the same price with identical output.

Does it need an earth?

Yes. It is protection class 1, so an earth is required at the fitting. Check the existing wiring before swapping it in for a class 2 fitting.

Is it bright enough to light a room?

No, and it is not meant to. At 85110 lm it is an accent and bedside fitting that layers with your main lighting rather than replacing it.

What warranty applies?

A 3-year replacement warranty.
