FAQs

What type of light bulb does this bulkhead use?

This bulkhead uses a standard E27 screw-in bulb. Please refer to the fixture's specifications for the maximum wattage allowed.

Is this light suitable for a coastal environment?

While the cast aluminium is durable, coastal environments can be harsh. The IP54 rating offers protection against dust and splashes, but prolonged exposure to salt spray may affect the finish over time. Regular cleaning is recommended.

Can I install this light indoors?

Yes, the light is suitable for indoor use, particularly in bathrooms due to its IP54 rating.

What is the difference between models with and without a wire guard?

The model with a wire guard has an additional metal cage surrounding the glass for enhanced protection against impact, making it suitable for areas where it might be accidentally struck.

Does the light come with a bulb?

No, the light fitting is supplied without a bulb. You will need to purchase a compatible E27 bulb separately.

How do I clean the prismatic glass?

Clean the glass with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the glass or its finish.

Is this light dimmable?

The dimmability of the light depends on the type of bulb installed. If you use a dimmable E27 bulb and are connected to a compatible dimmer switch, then the light can be dimmed.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the power supply is on, the bulb is correctly screwed in and functional, and wiring connections are secure.

Flickering light

Ensure the bulb is fully seated and compatible. Check wiring connections for looseness.

Water ingress observed

Immediately turn off power. Check the integrity of the glass seal and any gaskets. Ensure the fitting is securely mounted and all entry points are sealed correctly. If damage is evident, consider replacing parts or the unit.

Paint finish showing wear

Clean the affected area and apply a compatible grey exterior paint, such as Hammerite, following paint manufacturer's instructions.

Care:
