FAQs
Does this light come with a bulb?
No, the Carlton Outdoor Wall Light does not include a light bulb. You will need to purchase an E27 ES LED bulb separately.
Can I use this light near the coast?
While the fixture is IP44 rated for weather resistance, please note that coastal environments are highly corrosive; regular cleaning is recommended to maintain the finish.
Is this fixture compatible with motion sensors?
Yes, you can connect the light to an external motion sensor or use a smart bulb that includes integrated motion sensing capabilities.
What does IP44 mean?
IP44 means the fixture is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and is protected against splashing water from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use.
Is the light fixture dimmable?
The fixture itself is compatible with dimming, provided you use a dimmable LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch.
What is the maximum bulb wattage I can use?
You can use an E27 ES LED bulb with a maximum of 15W.
Troubleshooting
The light fails to turn on after installation
Verify that the bulb is screwed in securely and check that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
The light flickers when using a dimmer
Ensure that the bulb installed is explicitly labeled as 'dimmable' and that it is compatible with your specific dimmer switch.
Water appears inside the light housing
Inspect the rubber seals and mounting points to ensure the unit is mounted flush against the wall; if water ingress persists, have the installation checked by a professional.
