Product Information

Full details

The Davey Domed Box Wall Light is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, classic lighting solution for exterior or interior high-traffic areas. Its primary benefit is its robust, traditional British maritime design combined with an IP44 rating for weather resistance, offering both style and resilience. A potential caveat is the handmade nature, which may mean slight variations, and the specific bronze weathered brass finish requires appropriate care. This handmade barrel-top box light features a weathered brass finish with clear glass panels on three sides, offering easy access for maintenance. It's ideal for porches, exterior walls, and hallways, bringing a neo-Victorian aesthetic to any property.

FAQs

What type of bulb does this light use?

The Davey Domed Box Wall Light uses a standard E27 screw bulb. Please check the fixture's specifications for the maximum recommended wattage.

Is this light suitable for coastal areas?

While it has an IP44 rating, prolonged exposure to harsh salt spray in extreme coastal environments may affect the weathered brass finish over time. Regular cleaning is recommended.

How do I clean the clear glass panels?

Use a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the clear glass panels. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the metal parts of the fixture.

Can I replace the glass panels if they break?

Yes, the glass panels can typically be accessed by removing the pins. Spare parts, if available, should be sourced from the manufacturer or a reputable lighting supplier.

What does the IP44 rating mean?

An IP44 rating indicates that the fixture is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires) and protected against water splashes from any direction.

Does the weathered brass finish require special treatment?

The weathered brass finish is designed to have a particular patina. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can strip the finish. The finish will naturally evolve over time.

Can this light be used indoors?

Yes, absolutely. While rated for outdoor use, its classic design also makes it an excellent choice for interior hallways, entryways, or utility rooms.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power supply is connected and switched on. Check that the bulb is correctly screwed in and not burnt out. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Flickering light

Check the bulb for a secure connection. If the bulb is old, try replacing it with a new one. Loose wiring at the point of installation could also be a cause, requiring an electrician's inspection.

Corrosion or tarnishing of the finish

This is a characteristic of weathered brass. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. If a more uniform look is desired, consult a specialist regarding brass refinishing, though this may alter the 'weathered' aesthetic.

Water ingress

Ensure all seals are intact and the fixture is mounted correctly to allow drainage. Check that the glass panels are seated properly and the casing is not damaged. If water continues to enter, contact a qualified electrician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations. Ensure the power supply is switched off before commencing any work. Mount the fixture securely to a suitable surface, ensuring proper weather sealing if installed outdoors.

Compatibility: This light fixture is designed to be used with standard E27 screw bulbs. Ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the maximum rating specified for the fixture to prevent overheating. For outdoor use, consider using a bulb type that is suitable for outdoor lighting conditions and provides the desired light output and color temperature.

Care: To maintain the weathered brass finish, clean the fixture periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For glass panels, use a standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Periodically check that the removable pins are secure and the fixture remains firmly attached.
