Product Information

Full details

This Davey Lighting Box Wall Light is ideal for homeowners seeking a durable, stylish lighting solution for bathrooms and exterior spaces. Its primary benefit lies in its IP44 rating, offering protection against water and dust ingress, combined with a handmade brass construction for a premium look. A potential consideration is that it is internally glazed, meaning the frosted effect is on the inside of the glass panels, which may affect light diffusion compared to externally frosted options.

FAQs

Is this light suitable for coastal environments?

While the IP44 rating offers some protection, brass can still react with salt air. For heavily exposed coastal areas, alternative finishes or materials might be more resilient long-term. Regular cleaning is advised.

What type of bulb should I use?

Consult the product's specific bulb requirements, typically found in the user manual or on the product packaging. It is generally recommended to use LED bulbs for energy efficiency and longevity.

Can I replace the frosted glass with clear glass?

Yes, the Box wall light is available with clear glass as an option. If you wish to switch from frosted to clear, you would need to purchase the clear glass panels separately, if available, and ensure they are compatible.

How do I access the glass for cleaning?

The light features removable pins on each side. Gently remove these pins to allow access to the glass panels for cleaning.

What does IP44 rating mean?

IP44 signifies that the luminaire is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires) and splashing water from any direction. This makes it suitable for bathrooms and protected outdoor locations.

Is this light dimmable?

Dimmability depends on the type of bulb installed and the switch used. If you intend to use a dimmer, ensure both the fixture and the chosen bulb are compatible with dimmer switches.

Where is this light manufactured?

This light is manufactured in the UK, building on Davey Lighting's extensive history dating back to 1885.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check the main power supply and ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify all electrical connections are secure. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician.

Flickering light

Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in the socket. If using an older bulb type, consider replacing it with a new, compatible bulb. Check wiring connections for any loose contacts.

Glass panel is loose

Gently re-insert the glass panel into its frame. Ensure the removable pins on the side are fully engaged to secure the panel.

Finish appears dull or tarnished

Clean the brass with a soft, dry cloth. For mild tarnish, a specialized brass cleaner suitable for antique finishes may be used sparingly, followed by a thorough dry wipe. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
