The Vostel EX2 is a 430mm twin exterior wall light insolid brass or 316 stainless steel with glass two heads,6W total, 245lm at 3000K, CRI above 90,IP65 in antique brass, natural brass or stainless steel.

Up and down, from one point

Two heads on a 430mm vertical bar throw lightup the wall and down it from a single fixing the classic entry treatment, andthe reason to choose the twin over the single. A pair of beams grazing render or brickdescribes the wall, where a single downward beam just lights the ground.

Solid brass or 316 stainless which our page never got to say

These are not painted aluminium. 316 is the marine grade of stainless, with addedmolybdenum specifically to resist salt, and solid brass weathers rather thancorrodes. On a coastal house an ordinary exterior light fails within a couple of years andthese do not.

The old specification table said Solid Brass on everyvariant including the stainless one. Corrected: the twobrass finishes are solid brass, the stainless variant is 316 stainlesssteel.

245 lumens across two heads

3W per head, 6W total our record lists 3W, which is theper-head figure. Total output is 245lm, almost exactly twice the singleVostels 125lm, which is the consistency you want when the two are used on the samefacade. It is an accent, not a security light: enough to describe a wall, not enoughto light a driveway.

Natural brass ages, the others do not

Natural brass is unlacquered and will patina to a soft brown-goldoutdoors. Antique brass starts dark and stays close to where it began.316 stainless stays silver. Choose by whether you want the fitting to change.

Questions

What is it actually made of?

Solid brass on the two brass finishes, and 316 stainless steel on the stainless one, with a glass diffuser. Our old page was cut off mid-sentence before it said so, and the specification table wrongly said Solid Brass for every variant.

Does it light up as well as down?

Yes two heads on a 430mm vertical bar throw light up the wall and down it from a single fixing. That is the reason to choose the twin over the single.

How many watts is it really?

Six in total 3W per head. Our record lists 3W, which is the per-head figure.

Will it survive near the sea?

That is what it is for. 316 is the marine grade of stainless, with added molybdenum to resist salt, and solid brass weathers rather than corrodes. Ordinary painted exterior lights fail on a beachfront within a couple of years.

Will the brass change colour?

The natural brass will it is unlacquered and patinas to a soft brown-gold. Antique brass starts dark and stays close to where it began; 316 stainless stays silver.

Is it bright enough for security?

No. 245lm across two heads is an accent enough to describe a wall, not enough to light a driveway.

Can I mix it with the single Vostel?

Yes same finishes, same 3000K, same CRI above 90, and the same 125lm per head, so a facade using both stays consistent.
