FAQs

Is this light suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, the Davey Oval Aluminium Bulkhead has an IP54 rating, making it suitable for bathroom use as well as general outdoor applications.

What type of light bulb does it use?

This bulkhead is designed for E27 screw-in light bulbs. Please refer to the product specifications for the maximum wattage allowed.

Can I install this light myself?

Basic electrical knowledge is recommended for installation. If you are unsure, it is best to consult a qualified electrician to ensure safe and compliant installation.

Does it come with a light bulb?

No, the light bulb is not included with the fixture. You will need to purchase a suitable E27 bulb separately.

How do I clean the fixture?

Always switch off the power before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What does the 'guarded' or 'eyelid' option mean?

These options refer to the front bezel. A 'guarded' version has a protective cage around the glass, and an 'eyelid' is a semi-shielded design that directs light downwards. The unguarded version is the simplest form.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty details typically vary and are best confirmed with the retailer or manufacturer. Davey products are known for their durability, often reflecting their long manufacturing history.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power supply is on and correctly connected. Verify the bulb is correctly screwed in and functional. Check for any tripped circuit breakers.

Flickering light

This could indicate a loose bulb or a wiring issue. Turn off power, check the bulb seating, and inspect wiring connections. A faulty bulb can also cause flickering.

Poor light output

Check if the bulb is of sufficient wattage for the fixture's rating. Ensure the frosted glass diffuser and the bulb are clean.

Fixture feels loose on the wall

Turn off power. Re-tighten the through backplate fixing screws. Ensure the mounting surface is sound.
