Product Information

Full details

The Portico Wall Light by Davey is designed for homeowners seeking a sophisticated and handcrafted lighting solution for their exterior spaces. Its key benefit lies in its durable brass construction with an antique finish, offering both aesthetic appeal and longevity. A potential caveat is its IP43 rating, which provides protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and water spray at any angle up to 60° from the vertical, making it suitable for sheltered exterior areas rather than direct exposure to harsh weather. This wall light features a brass beaded frame and four clear glass panels, providing an elegant glow.

FAQs

What type of bulb does the Portico Wall Light use?

The Portico Wall Light typically uses standard screw-in bulbs (e.g., E27 base). Please refer to the product's specific documentation or bulb holder for exact specifications, as bulb type and wattage may vary. It is recommended to use outdoor-rated bulbs if exposed to any moisture.

Is this light suitable for direct rain exposure?

The Portico Wall Light has an IP43 rating, which means it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against water spray at any angle up to 60° from the vertical. It is best suited for sheltered or covered outdoor areas, not for direct exposure to heavy rain or harsh weather conditions.

How do I clean and maintain the antique brass finish?

Clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks or to restore shine, use a specialized brass cleaner formulated for antique finishes. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.

Can I paint or alter the finish of the light?

It is not recommended to paint or alter the original antique brass finish, as this can compromise the material's integrity and may void the warranty. The handmade nature of the finish is a key aesthetic feature.

What are the dimensions of the available sizes?

The Portico Wall Light is available in two sizes. Please refer to the product specifications or Davey's official product listings for precise dimensions of each size option.

Does the light come with a bulb?

Typically, bulbs are sold separately. Please check the product packaging or description for confirmation. It is advisable to purchase a suitable bulb that matches the fixture's requirements.

What is the warranty period for this light?

Davey lights generally come with a manufacturer's warranty. For specific details regarding the warranty period and terms for the Portico Wall Light, please consult the product documentation or Davey's official warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the light switch is in the 'on' position. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify the bulb is correctly screwed in and is not burnt out. Confirm the power supply to the fixture is active.

Flickering light

Check the bulb connection; ensure it is not loose. If using an older bulb, it may be nearing the end of its life and require replacement. Inspect wiring connections for any signs of damage or looseness.

Finish appears dull or discolored

Clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. If the issue persists, use a mild brass cleaner specifically designed for antique finishes, following product instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Water ingress observed

The IP43 rating means the light is protected from water spray at an angle up to 60°. If water is entering, check that all glass panels are securely in place and that seals are intact. Ensure the fixture is mounted as per instructions to facilitate drainage. If significant water ingress occurs, cease use and consult a qualified electrician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Portico Wall Light should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes. Ensure the power supply is switched off before beginning installation.

Compatibility:

This light is designed for standard outdoor electrical connections. It is compatible with most outdoor-rated wiring systems. The IP43 rating makes it suitable for sheltered outdoor areas such as under eaves, porches, or covered patios.

Care:

To maintain the antique finish of the brass, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a specialized brass cleaner can be used sparingly. Periodically check all fittings and connections to ensure they are secure.
