Chicago E27 IP65 Post Light - Matt White

Description

DescriptionA short square column for outdoor lighting, this one stands 35cm high on an 11cm footprint, so it sits low enough to mark a path without drawing the eye away from planting. The matt white finish keeps it quiet by day. Behind the frosted diffuser, light is softened and spread evenly rather than thrown in a hard pool, giving the sort of ambient glow that reads well along a border. It takes an E27 lamp, and works with a dimmer where the lamp and the dimmer switch are suited to each other.
We reach for a post light this size where a taller column would look overbearing: beside a front door, along a gravel drive, at the turn of a garden step, or in a run down either side of a patio. It is weather rated for open positions, so rain and spray are no concern. We would put a warm white LED GLS lamp in it, up to 12W, which is plenty for a low post working at ankle and knee height.
The body is a squared tube with a flat top, and the white is matt rather than gloss, which hides the marks that outdoor fittings pick up. Cleaning is a wipe with a damp cloth and a dry off; keep grit and clippings from building up at the base, and check the diffuser is clear at the start of each season. It carries a two year warranty. We stock the same post in anthracite if you would rather it disappeared against darker paving, and in a round profile in both finishes, with a taller square version in anthracite for driveway entrances. Lamps are not included.

Frequently AskedHow tall is it, and how wide?
It stands 350mm tall with a square section of 110mm by 110mm, so it reads as a low marker rather than a full-height column.
What lamp should I use?
One E27 lamp, up to 12W. An LED GLS (A60) shape suits the frosted diffuser best and gives an even spread.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
Yes, provided both the lamp and the dimmer switch are rated for dimming and are compatible with each other.
Will it cope with British weather?
It is rated IP65, so it is made for exposed outdoor positions and will take rain and hose spray.
How do I keep the white finish looking clean?
A damp cloth and a dry off is usually enough. Avoid abrasive creams and solvents, and lift any leaf litter or soil away from the base so the finish is not sitting in damp debris.
How heavy is it?
About 1.5kg, so it is easy to handle and position while you plan a run of them.
