IP54 rated for outdoor use, this simple yet elegant mast light offers a soft wall wash that is perfect for illuminating pathways, columns, gate posts, porches, the list is endless. Hand crafted from the centuries-old technique of sandcasting right here in the UK, the Mast Exterior wall light is cast in bronze and aluminium with a choice of six durable yet stylish finishes. The 0749 LED Mast Light is a classic marine design that has been especially adapted to allow for an easy connection to a mains voltage circuit without a transformer. The installation requires a void or recess behind the fitting to make a connection to the supply. Where this is not possible (a masonry wall for example) a matching back box is available (code 0760) providing a suitable housing for making a connection. The supplied LED lamp has a comparable light output to a typical 35W Halogen, but draws considerably less power (4.6W), saving significant amounts of energy. The lifespan of the lamp is rated at up to 25,000 hours. Cast in bronze or aluminium, with several metal finishes; anodised, polished, weathered or sandblasted.
The Davey Lighting Mast Exterior Wall Light in Silver is designed for homeowners seeking elegant, marine-inspired outdoor lighting. Its key benefit is a soft, energy-efficient wall wash perfect for pathways and architectural features, directly connecting to mains voltage. A caveat to consider is that installation requires a void behind the fitting for wiring, or a separate back box.
