The Upton CTC is a 340mm exterior close-to-ceiling fitting the samebody also mounts as a wall light taking one E27 globe, rated IP44, in black.

It works on a ceiling or a wall

That is the useful part. The Upton is sold as a close-to-ceiling fitting and a walllight using the same body, so you can put thesame fitting on a porch ceiling and beside the door and have them match exactly rather than hunting for a wall light that nearly goes with your ceiling light.

Close-to-ceiling is what a covered entry usually needs

Under a verandah, a carport or a porch, headroom is often limited and a hanging fitting is in theway. A CTC sits tight against the ceiling and lights the whole space below withoutanything to walk into.

Light, in polycarbonate

0.51kg, and nothing corrodes no rust bleeding downa porch ceiling, no weeping fixings after two summers. On a ceiling in particular, weight and corrosionare the two things that cause trouble later.

IP44 covered positions. Its own specification saysOutdoor (Covered): protection against splashing water from any direction. A verandah, porch orcarport ceiling. For a fully exposed position, ask us about the IP65 fittings.

Double insulated

ClassII no earth required, so fewer connections to make and fewer tocorrode.

One E27 globe to 25W, not supplied

An ordinary replaceable globe you choose the brightness and colourtemperature, and change them later. Dimming is globe dependent.

Questions

Can it go on a wall as well?

Yes the same body is sold as a wall light, so a porch ceiling and the wall beside the door can match exactly.

Why close-to-ceiling rather than a pendant?

Under a verandah, carport or porch, headroom is often limited. A CTC sits tight against the ceiling and lights the space below with nothing to walk into.

Can it go somewhere exposed?

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

Will it corrode?

No polycarbonate. On a ceiling in particular, weight and corrosion are the two things that cause trouble later, and this has neither.

What globe does it take?

One E27 up to 25W, not supplied so you choose the brightness and colour temperature and can change them later.

Can I dim it?

With a dimmable globe, yes. The fitting imposes no limit.

Is it hard to install?

Easier than most ClassII, no earth required, and only 0.51kg. A licensed electrician is still needed.
