Delore Exterior Wall Light

The Delore EX is a 170 mm exterior wall light with a flared shade and a rounded opal diffuser — one globe to 25 W, not supplied — IP44, in vintage brass, black sand or white sand.

IP44 means covered, not exposed

Worth being precise, because the ratings are not interchangeable. IP44 is rated against splashing water from any direction — rain that reaches a wall, spray off a path. It is not rated against jets or heavy driven rain. So: under an eave, in a porch, on a sheltered courtyard wall, beside a door. Not on the weather side of the house, and not where a sprinkler hits it. If you need an exposed wall, the IP65 fittings in this range are the ones.

A 280 mm projection — it reaches well out

That is the number to plan around. The Delore stands 280 mm off the wall on a 120 mm backplate, which is more than most exterior wall lights in this range. The flared shade hangs out over the ground, so light lands on the path in front of the door rather than down the wall — genuinely useful at an entry, and an obstruction in a narrow walkway. Measure the space.

A flared shade over an opal diffuser

The flared aluminium shade directs light downward and shields the source from above; the rounded opal diffuser beneath it spreads what comes through so there is no bright point to look into from below. That combination — directional above, diffuse below — is what gives it the mid-century, Scandi character rather than the utilitarian look of a bulkhead.

Three finishes

Vintage brass is warm and ages gracefully outdoors; black sand disappears at night and hides marks; white sand stays bright against pale render. All sand-textured rather than gloss, which outdoors matters — gloss shows salt, dust and water marks.

Where it works

• Entries and doorways under cover — the projection lights the path.
• Porches, eaves and sheltered courtyard walls.
• ⚠ Not on an exposed wall — IP44, not IP65.
• ⚠ Not in a narrow walkway — it projects 280 mm.
• ⚠ Confirm the globe base with us before buying a globe.
