The Vexor EX43 is a 432mm exterior wall light with water-textured glass inblack sand 14W giving 545lm at 3000K,CRI above 80, IP44.

This is the best value of the three sizes, per watt.

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

Stepping up from the smallest is 40% more power for 85% more light, which is nothow a size range normally behaves. The 327mm is poor value in output terms;this is the size where the Vexor starts earning its watts.

Water-textured glass what it does after dark

The glass is moulded with a rippled, water-like surface.Frosted glass diffuses into an even panel; clear reveals the source;water texture refracts unevenly, so light comes through inshifting bright and dark bands that change as you walk past. That movement is whatstops an exterior wall light reading as a flat lit rectangle and it is why the fitting stilllooks like something by day.

545 lumens a path and doorway light

Enough to light a doorway, a step or a section of path usefully, andnot enough to be the entry light for a large facade that is the552mm. At 432mm tall it is also the size thatsuits a normal domestic wall: substantial without dominating, where the largest canoverwhelm a single-storey frontage.

186mm of projection

432mm tall, 143mm wide, projecting 186mm from a140mm backplate. That is a lot to stand off a wall fine beside a door or on an open facade, an obstruction on a narrow path people walkclose to. Measure the clearance first.

No weight is recorded for any Vexor size, and a432mm aluminium and glass fitting projecting 186mm applies real leverage to its fixing.Ask us before the position and fixing are chosen.

IP44, and Telbix says covered

IP44 is rated against splashing water from any direction ordinary rain onan ordinary wall. Our specification table records the usage asOutdoor (Covered Area), which is worth following:under an eave, a porch, a verandah or a protected facade. For afully exposed wall or a coastal site, the Ziron atIP65 in polycarbonate is the better answer ask us and we will match the rating to the position.

The LED is integrated and included, fixed at3000K and not dimmable. It isClassI earth required and hard-wired, so a licensed electricianinstalls it.

Where it works

• Beside front doors, under an eave or porch.
• Normal domestic walls substantial without dominating.
• In pairs, flanking a door or garage.
• 186mm projection not on a narrow path.
• IP44 covered positions ask about the Ziron for exposed walls.

Questions

Which Vexor size is the best value?

This one. The three give 29.5, 39 and 37.5lm/W stepping up from the smallest is 40% more power for 85% more light, which is not how a size range normally behaves. The 327mm is poor value in output terms.

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. Frosted diffuses into an even panel and clear reveals the source the water texture is what stops an exterior light reading as a flat lit rectangle.

Is 545 lumens enough?

Enough for a doorway, a step or a section of path; not enough to be the entry light for a large facade that is the 552mm. At 432mm this is also the size that suits a normal domestic wall, where the largest can overwhelm a single-storey frontage.

How far does it stick out?

186mm from a 140mm backplate a lot to stand off a wall. Fine beside a door or on an open facade; an obstruction on a narrow path people walk close to. Measure the clearance first.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

Better not. IP44 covers splashing ordinary rain on an ordinary wall and our own table records the usage as Outdoor (Covered Area). For a fully exposed or coastal wall, the Ziron at IP65 in polycarbonate is the better answer.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded for any Vexor size, and a 432mm aluminium and glass fitting projecting 186mm applies real leverage to its fixing. Ask us before the position and fixing are chosen.

Can I dim it?

No the LED is integrated and included, fixed at 3000K, with nothing to buy and nothing to change.
