Ramiro 25Cm Exterior Wall Light Large

⚠ It stands 350 millimetres off the wall. That is the first thing to plan around.

Thirty-five centimetres is the deepest reach we have measured on any wall light, and on a coach lantern that reach is the point: it holds the light out over a doorway or a path rather than flat against the wall. But it means:

• Beside a front door, check it clears the door swing and the architrave — at 350 mm many will not.
• Along a path or a passage, it is emphatically something you can walk into in the dark. Mount it above head height, or use the smaller size.
• On a narrow entry, it will dominate. Measure before you order.

⚠ And the fixing takes leverage, not just weight. 4.2 kg on a 350 mm reach is the largest turning moment on any wall fitting in this catalogue. A flat 4 kg fitting pulls down on its fixings; this one pulls down and out, and the top fixings take the load. Tell your electrician both figures — the weight and the projection — and on render or lightweight cladding, ask about a backing plate.

The two ranges are near-identical — same aluminium and textured glass, same IP44, same E27 25 W globe, same black or bronze, both made as pendants and wall lanterns. With the wall lights now measured, there is a consistent difference:

At every size, the Ramiro is deeper and heavier than the Pedral. So: Ramiro for reach and presence, where the wall is open and the lantern is meant to project over a door; Pedral where space is tighter. Ask us and we will send both against your opening.

• A decorative LED filament — globe or ST64 — reads as a warm glowing core, which is what a coach lantern is designed around.
• A bare white capsule shows as a hard bright blob.
• Rated for ENCLOSED fittings — this is a sealed lantern, and heat with nowhere to go kills LED globes.
• Warm 2700 K, or it looks like a security light.

And it dims, with the right globe — neither our record nor the page's specification table mentioned dimming at all. The datasheet says globe dependent, which is right. On a lantern with a visible warm core, dimming is the best thing you can do for how it looks after dark.

IP44 — covered positions, and our page has it right at “Outdoor (Covered Area)”: splashing water from any direction, not driving rain or jets. Under a porch, verandah or deep eave — yes; fully exposed or coastal — no. For those, ask us about the Walsh at IP65 in solid brass or 316 stainless.

Backplate 135 mm on a 250 mm fitting — on a replacement, it may not cover the marks. Class I — earth required, in aluminium and textured glass.

A note: our page carried the Ramiro pendant's multi-suspension paragraph — chain, rod or both. That describes the hanging version, not this wall light.
