FAQs

Are the bulbs included?

No, each light requires 1 x 15W Max LED E27 ES bulb, which must be purchased separately.

Can I use these near a swimming pool?

These are rated IP44, which is suitable for garden paths and patios, but they should not be placed in zones subject to direct water immersion.

How high are these lights?

Each post light stands at 45cm in height.

Can I use smart bulbs with these?

Yes, they are compatible with most standard domestic smart E27 bulbs, provided the bulb dimensions fit inside the 11cm width and depth.

Are these lights dimmable?

Yes, provided you use a compatible dimmable LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch.

What does Class I earthed mean?

It means the fixture includes a grounding connection for safety, which is mandatory for electrical compliance in many outdoor installations.

Troubleshooting

Light fails to turn on

Verify that the bulb is screwed in fully and check your circuit breaker or RCD for a tripped switch.

Smart bulb will not connect

Ensure your smart hub is within range of the outdoor fixture and that the light switch is physically turned on.

Visible flickering

If using a dimmer switch, ensure the bulb is specifically rated as 'dimmable' and compatible with your dimmer hardware.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable IP44-rated weather protection
  • Compatible with both dimmable and smart E27 bulbs
  • Sleek and compact aesthetic suitable for modern or traditional gardens
  • Safety-focused construction with Class I earthing

Cons

  • Bulbs are not included in the set
  • Requires professional or knowledgeable electrical installation
  • Bulb length should be measured to ensure fit within the 11cm casing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For a successful installation, ensure you have a suitable exterior power source available. As these are Class I fixtures, they must be properly earthed by a qualified person. Before purchasing bulbs, verify the bulb length against the unit's 11cm depth to avoid fitment issues. Routine care involves simply wiping the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove debris; do not use abrasive chemicals, as these can strip the black finish. Always switch off the power at the mains before changing bulbs or cleaning.
