The Vexor EX33 is a 327mm exterior wall light with water-textured glass inblack sand 10W giving 295lm at 3000K,CRI above 80, IP44.

Choose this size for its proportion, not for itslight. The three Vexors give:

• 327mm 10W, 295lm 29.5lm/W
• 432mm 14W, 545lm 39lm/W
• 552mm 22W, 825lm 37.5lm/W

This one draws 45% of the largest fitting’s power and gives36% of its light. Stepping up one size is40% more power for 85% more light. No source flags this and the figures are Telbix’sown but it means if output is what you want, the 432mm is much bettervalue, and this size is the right answer only when327mm is the size the wall needs.

Water-textured glass and at this size it is most of the point

The glass is moulded with a rippled, water-like surface thatrefracts unevenly: light comes through inshifting bright and dark bands that change as you walk past. Frosted glass would givea flat even panel; clear would show the source.

On the smallest Vexor that texture is doing proportionallymore of the work, because there is less light to look at. It is afitting you notice rather than a fitting that lights something which, besidea door on a small facade, is a perfectly good thing to buy.

295 lumens a marker

Enough to mark a doorway or a step and to give a wall some presence after dark. Itwill not light a path, a driveway, or a person standing at the door. Plan otherlight for anything you need to see by, or use the 552mm, which will.

Compact by Vexor standards but it still projects 171mm

327mm tall, 128mm wide, projecting 171mm from a127mm backplate. Even the smallest Vexor standsover 170mm off the wall, so it is still not a narrow-pathfitting check the clearance before choosing a position.

No weight is recorded for any Vexor size.Ask us before the fixing is chosen. Note too that our record carriesno colour temperature for this size, where both larger ones record 3000K; thedatasheet confirms this one is 3000K as well.

IP44, and Telbix says covered

IP44 is rated against splashing water from any direction ordinary rain onan ordinary wall and our specification table records the usage asOutdoor (Covered Area). Follow it:under an eave, a porch, a verandah or a protected facade. For afully exposed or coastal wall, the Ziron atIP65 in polycarbonate is the better answer and at3W for 360lm it is alsobrighter than this fitting on a third of the power.

The LED is integrated and included, fixed at3000K and not dimmable.ClassI earth required, hard-wired, installed by a licensedelectrician.

Where it works

• Small facades and single doorways, where 327mm is the right size.
• Under eaves, porches and verandahs.
• In pairs, where the texture repeats.
• 295lm marks a door; it does not light one. Consider the 552mm.
• Still projects 171mm not a narrow path.

Questions

Is the small Vexor good value?

Not on output. It draws 45% of the largest fittings power for 36% of its light 29.5lm/W against 39 and 37.5 for the other two. Stepping up one size is 40% more power for 85% more light. Choose this size when 327mm is what the wall needs, not for the light.

Is 295 lumens enough?

Enough to mark a doorway or a step and give a wall presence after dark. It will not light a path, a driveway, or a person standing at the door plan other light, or use the 552mm.

What does water-textured glass do?

It refracts unevenly, so light comes through in shifting bright and dark bands that change as you walk past. On the smallest Vexor the texture does proportionally more of the work, because there is less light to look at it is a fitting you notice rather than one that lights something.

How far does it stick out?

171mm from a 127mm backplate. Even the smallest Vexor stands over 170mm off the wall, so it is still not a narrow-path fitting check the clearance first.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

Better not. IP44 covers splashing, and our own table records the usage as Outdoor (Covered Area). For a fully exposed or coastal wall the Ziron at IP65 is the better answer and at 3W for 360lm it is brighter than this fitting on a third of the power.

What colour temperature is it?

3000K warm white. Our record carries no colour temperature for this size, where both larger ones do the datasheet confirms 3000K.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded for any Vexor size. Ask us before the fixing is chosen.
