The Madras WB60 is a 612mm slim wall light with a 320 rotatable lightsource in black or white 12W giving 380lm at 3000K, CRI above 80.

The light source rotates through 320 and our page never got to say so

This is the reason to choose a Madras. The LEDturns through nearly a full circle inside the fitting, so a single wall light can beaimed up the wall, down it, or out into the room andre-aimed later without being taken off the wall. Most slim architectural wall lightscommit you to one direction at the moment they are fixed. This one does not.

The three sizes do not scale the way you would expect.Read this before choosing on size:

• 612mm 12W, 380lm
• 899mm 18W, 935lm
• 1,200mm 24W, 1,435lm

Double the wattage does not give double the light. The 1,200mm draws twicewhat this one draws and gives nearly four times the output. So if you are buying the612mm expecting half of the big one, you will getabout a quarter. The figures come straight from Telbix and no source explains thegap. Choose the 612 for the proportion, not for the light and if output iswhat you need, the larger sizes are far better value per watt.

380 lumens an accent, and treat it as one

12W at 32lm/W, which is low. This is amarker and a wash: enough to light a section of wall, a stair landing or a bedside,and not enough to carry a hallway. Aimed, it does more than the number suggests a rotatable source concentrated on one surface reads brighter than the same lumens spread but plan other light in the room.

612 by 61mm a ten-to-one line

612mm high, 61mm wide, projecting 66mm, at1.1kg. A genuine vertical line rather than a fitting on a wall, and lightenough to fix to plasterboard without special provision.

It is ClassI earth required and hard-wired, andnot dimmable at a fixed 3000K. So it is an on-or-off fitting,which is worth knowing beside a bed. A licensed electrician installs it genuinely, on thispage.

Aluminium, iron, silicon and polycarbonate

The silicon is missing from our record and does the sealing work around therotating element; the polycarbonate diffuses. Sand finish inblack or white sand rather than gloss, which on a 612mm face matters,because gloss that size catches every other light in the room.

Where it works

• Beside beds, mirrors and doorways aimed where you want it.
• Stair landings and alcoves, as a lit vertical.
• Rooms where the aim may need changing later.
• Not enough light to carry a hallway 380lm.
• Not dimmable, and fixed at 3000K.

Questions

What does the 320 rotation do?

The LED turns through nearly a full circle inside the fitting, so one wall light can be aimed up the wall, down it or out into the room and re-aimed later without being taken off the wall. Most slim architectural wall lights commit you to one direction when they are fixed.

Is it half as bright as the 120cm version?

No about a quarter. The 612mm gives 380lm, the 899mm gives 935 and the 1,200mm gives 1,435. Double the wattage does not give double the light in this range, and no source explains the gap. Choose this size for the proportion, not the output.

Is 380 lumens enough for a hallway?

No. It is a marker and a wash a section of wall, a stair landing, a bedside. Aimed at one surface it reads brighter than the number suggests, but plan other light in the room.

Can I dim it?

No, and it is fixed at 3000K so it is an on-or-off fitting, which is worth knowing beside a bed.

How far does it stick out?

66mm, on a body 61mm wide and 612mm tall a genuine vertical line rather than a fitting on a wall.

Will it fix to plasterboard?

Yes 1.1kg, so no special provision is needed.

Black or white?

Both sand-finished rather than gloss, which on a 612mm face matters: gloss that size catches every other light in the room. Black draws the line; white disappears into a pale wall.
