Elgar Indoor Wall Light 40w

⚠ The globe is not included, whatever our page implied. It said “the 40w bulb is estimated to last for up to 25,000 hours”, which reads as though a lamp comes with the fitting. It does not.

40 W is the fitting's maximum — the most the holder and the shade are built to carry — and the 25,000-hour figure describes a globe you have to buy. What you actually want:

• A warm 2700 K LED E27 at 6 to 9 W, which gives roughly the light of an old 60 W globe and sits far inside the 40 W limit.
• Not a 40 W incandescent or halogen — there is no reason to go near the ceiling, and it puts real heat into a wall fitting.
• ⚠ Rated for enclosed fittings if the shade is closed — ask us, because no source says whether it is.

Ask us and we will supply the globe with it.

⚠ A warning about the size, because our own sources are eight times apart. The datasheet records 200 cm high by 160 cm wide — two metres by 1.6 metres, which would be a wall panel, not a light. Our record says 250 mm by 250 mm.

We have published 250 mm, which is a plausible size for a wall light and which the datasheet's figures match if its units are read as millimetres rather than centimetres. But ask us to confirm before you set out a position, and note that no projection is recorded at all — so we cannot tell you how far it stands off the wall.

Here is what we can tell you, and what we cannot.

• It is a 250 mm square-ish wall light taking a standard E27 screw globe — the same base as a household lamp, so replacements are available anywhere.
• It is IP20, so indoor and dry rooms only — not a bathroom.
• ⚠ The material is not recorded. The field that should hold it contains the finish list instead. Ask us if it matters — on a wall fitting, metal and plastic behave differently over time.
• ⚠ Dimming is not recorded either. On a fitting that simply holds an E27 it will be globe dependent, as every other E27 fitting in this range is, but we have not asserted it.

⚠ Its warranty is ONE year, not the three most of this catalogue carries — and unlike several others we have reviewed, that figure is consistent across the datasheet and our record, so it is a genuine commercial term rather than a data error. Worth knowing before you buy a run of them. If you want a wall light with the full three-year term, ask us.

IP20 — indoor and dry locations only. Hard-wired; a licensed electrician installs it.
