The Reese is a 285mm rectangular outdoor wall light in die-cast aluminium witha flat black powder coat and frosted glass, rated IP44.

Mission-style, which means restraint

A straight rectangular frame with subtly curved lines no scrolls, no lanterns, noornament. That makes it one of the few exterior lights that suits a modern house without looking like acompromise, and it sits equally well on a period cottage.

Frosted glass, so no glare at the door

The diffuser is frosted, not clear. That matters at an entry: a clear-glass fittingat head height puts a bare globe in your eyes as you approach, while frosted glass gives you an evenpanel of light. It also means the globe choice is far less critical here than on a clear fitting.

Sized to pair

285mm high by 145mm wide is a modest, symmetrical size made tobe used in pairs, either side of a garage door or an entry, rather than as a singlestatement.

Die-cast aluminium, powder coated

Powder coat on die-cast aluminium is the standard exterior construction. It will last well under aneave or on a sheltered wall; in a coastal or fully exposed position, brass such as the Cantena orPerova is the better spend.

IP44 rain and splashing, covered positions. Not ratedfor hosing or full exposure.

Where it works

• Either side of a garage door, as a pair.
• Entryways and covered porches.
• Courtyard walls under some shelter.
• Modern houses where a lantern would look wrong.

Questions

How far does it stick out from the wall?

We are not publishing that our two sources give 120mm and 170mm. If clearance beside a door matters, ask us and we will confirm.

Is the glass clear or frosted?

Frosted. The old copy called it both; the specification says frost, which is also the sensible choice at head height no bare globe in your eyes.

Can it be hosed or used on the coast?

No. IP44 suits rain and splashing in a covered position. For exposed or coastal use, solid brass such as the Cantena or Perova is the better spend.

Is a globe included?

No. One E27 globe up to 25W, supplied separately.

Should I buy one or two?

Two, usually. At 285 145mm it is designed to be used in pairs either side of a door or garage.

Does it change colour?

No. Our product record carries a colour-changing flag, which is an error on a fitting that takes an ordinary E27 globe we are correcting it.

What is the warranty?

Three years.
