Product Information

Full details

The Davey Domed Box Wall Light in frosted glass is designed for homeowners and architects seeking a durable, classic outdoor lighting solution with a rich heritage. Its key benefit lies in its robust, maritime-inspired construction and IP44 rating, ensuring suitability for exposed exterior walls and porches. A potential caveat is its neo-Victorian aesthetic, which may not suit all modern architectural styles. This handmade barrel-top box light, manufactured in the UK since 1885, features glass panels on three sides and a weathered brass finish, offering both timeless design and practical illumination for exterior and hallway applications.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this light suitable for coastal areas?

While IP44 rated for general outdoor use, prolonged exposure to salt spray in harsh coastal environments may affect the brass finish over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance are recommended.

What type of light bulb should I use?

The fixture uses an E27 (standard screw) bulb. Please do not exceed the maximum recommended wattage, which can be found on the fixture's label or in its documentation.

Can I choose clear glass instead of frosted?

Yes, this model is also available with clear glass panels. Please refer to the product variants for the clear glass option.

How do I access the bulb for replacement?

The glass panels are held in place by small, removable pins on the sides. Carefully remove these pins to access the front of the box for bulb replacement.

What is the warranty period for this light?

Information regarding warranty periods should be sought from the retailer or manufacturer's official documentation, as it can vary.

Is the weathered brass finish lacquered?

The weathered brass finish is designed to develop a natural patina over time. It is not typically lacquered, allowing for its characteristic aged appearance.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Check that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in and is not faulty. Verify wiring connections are secure.

Flickering light.

This could indicate a loose bulb or a faulty connection. Turn off power, check bulb tightness, and inspect wiring. If the problem persists, the bulb may need replacement.

Condensation inside the glass.

Minor condensation can occur in humid conditions. If significant water ingress is suspected, check that the glass seals are intact and the fixture is correctly mounted to prevent water pooling. Ensure removable pins are securely in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local wiring regulations. Ensure the power supply is switched off before commencing.

Compatibility: This fixture is designed for standard mains voltage. It is compatible with E27 screw-in bulbs (not included). Ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the fixture's maximum rating.
