FAQs

What is the difference between the 8W, 15W, and 20W models?

The primary difference is the maximum lumen output. The 8W model offers a lower brightness, while the 15W and 20W models provide higher light output. Note that wattage and colour switching are typically featured on the 15W and 20W variants, not usually the 8W.

How do I switch between 3000K, 4000K, and 6500K?

There is usually a small switch located on the internal part of the fitting. Ensure the power is turned off before opening the diffuser and carefully operate the switch to your desired colour temperature. Refer to the product manual for specific switch location.

Is this bulkhead suitable for wall or ceiling mounting?

Yes, the design and multiple conduit entries allow for both wall and ceiling mounting, provided the surface is suitable and securely supports the fitting.

What does IP66 and IK10 rating mean?

IP66 means the fitting is protected against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets from any direction. IK10 signifies a high level of resistance to mechanical impacts, up to 20 joules.

Can I use this light outdoors?

Absolutely. The IP66 rating makes it specifically designed and suitable for outdoor use in exposed conditions.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Aurora Lighting provides a 5-year warranty for this product.

Does it come with a photocell or microwave sensor?

This particular model, the Utilite CS Oval LED Bulkhead, does not come with integrated sensors. It is a standard light fitting controlled by your external switch.

Troubleshooting

Bulkhead does not illuminate.

Check that the mains power is switched on and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct (Live, Neutral, Earth). Ensure the diffuser is correctly seated if your model has a switch that activates upon closing.

Light colour or brightness cannot be changed.

Confirm you are attempting to adjust settings on a model that supports wattage and colour switching. Ensure the power is off before attempting to operate internal switches. Check the internal switch mechanism for any visible damage or obstruction.

Water ingress or condensation observed.

Ensure the diffuser is properly sealed and all cable entry points are correctly blanked off or have appropriate glands fitted. Inspect the housing and diffuser for cracks or damage. If ingress is significant, the unit may need to be replaced.

Flickering light.

This could indicate a loose connection or a failing component. Check all wiring connections. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician or consider replacing the unit under warranty.
