Product Information

Full details

The Knightsbridge LED Eyelid Bulkhead (SHE2BEM) is a heavy-duty, robust lighting solution designed for professionals and homeowners needing a durable exterior or security light. Its primary benefit lies in its versatility, offering adjustable color temperatures and a built-in emergency function for safety during power outages. While it provides excellent protection against dust and moisture due to its IP65 rating, it is important to note that the die-cast construction and eyelid design require precise installation to ensure proper light distribution for your specific area.

FAQs

What does CCT mean in this product?

CCT stands for Correlated Color Temperature, meaning you can switch between 3000K (warm white), 4000K (cool white), and 6000K (daylight) within the same unit.

Can this be installed in a coastal area?

While the die-cast aluminium is durable, extreme salt spray can affect finish longevity; regular cleaning is recommended if installed in seaside environments.

Is the emergency battery replaceable?

Yes, the emergency module and battery are designed to be accessible for maintenance by a qualified professional.

Can the light be dimmed?

This model is not natively dimmable. Attempting to use it with a standard dimmer switch may damage the driver.

What is the benefit of the Eyelid design?

The eyelid design acts as a glare shield, directing light downwards to illuminate pathways and entrances while reducing light pollution.

Troubleshooting

Light fails to illuminate

Check the power supply and ensure the permanent live wire is correctly connected for the emergency function.

Emergency mode not activating

The battery may require a full 24-hour charge cycle upon initial installation before the emergency feature will function.

Moisture inside the lens

Inspect the rubber gasket/seal for damage and ensure all mounting screws are tightened to maintain the IP65 seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High build quality with die-cast aluminium housing
  • Flexible color temperature selection for different aesthetics
  • Integrated emergency lighting for enhanced safety
  • IP65 rating makes it ideal for exterior security applications
  • Low maintenance and energy-efficient LED design

Cons

  • Eyelid design focuses light downwards, limiting total area coverage
  • Requires professional knowledge of electrical wiring for emergency functionality
  • Fixed power output of 18W may not suit all lighting requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SHE2BEM should always be performed by a qualified electrician, especially due to the internal emergency battery wiring.

  1. Placement: Mount on a flat, stable surface. Ensure the seal is perfectly seated to maintain the IP65 rating.
  2. Wiring: Follow the included instruction manual for the specific requirements of the emergency circuit, which typically requires a permanent live feed alongside the switched feed.
  3. CCT Selection: Before final mounting, toggle the switch on the LED board to your preferred color temperature.
  4. Care: To keep the bulkhead performing optimally, clean the polycarbonate diffuser periodically with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the diffuser or the finish of the die-cast aluminium housing.
