The Ideal Lux Swipe 287683 is a modern outdoor LED wall light designed for entrances, terraces, porches and exterior walls. Finished in anthracite, its compact rectangular form combines a powder-coated aluminium body with a glossy opal polycarbonate diffuser. The integrated 20.5W LED produces warm white 3000K light, while the adjustable diffuser can be rotated to change the direction of illumination to suit the wall or surrounding area. With IP54 protection against dust and splashing water, Swipe is intended for exterior wall mounting. Its 21.2 cm width and adjustable 12 cm to 16.5 cm projection make it particularly useful where a directional outdoor light is preferred without a large wall fitting.
Swipe has a clean, architectural appearance with a rectangular anthracite body and a broad illuminated panel. The main body is made from powder-coated aluminium, while the light passes through a glossy opal polycarbonate screen that gives the front of the diffuser a smooth white appearance when viewed against the darker frame.
The adjustable section forms an integral part of the design rather than resembling a conventional spotlight head. This keeps the fitting visually simple while still providing useful control over where the light is directed.
An integrated 20.5W LED light source provides 2300 lumens with a warm white colour temperature of 3000K. The LED is built into the fitting, so a separate bulb is not required.
The diffuser can be rotated vertically through up to 350 degrees, allowing the illuminated panel to be repositioned. This makes it possible to direct the light towards the wall, down towards a path or entrance area, or at another suitable angle depending on the installation.
The fitting is non-dimmable. Its IP54 rating provides protection against limited dust ingress and splashing water, making it suitable for outdoor wall applications. Installation is mains wired and should be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician.

Understanding LED colour temperature and the Kelvin scale
Colour temperature 2000K to 3000K, the light produced is often referred to as a "warm white", "soft white", occasionally called a "candle white". It ranges from orange-ish to yellow-ish white in appearance. This kind of light is attractive, enjoyable, comfortable and relaxing.
Colour temperature 3100K to 4500K, the light produced is often referred to as a "neutral white", "bright white" or "natural white". Light sources within this range will emit a more neutral white light and may even have a slightly blue tint. This kind of light is bright, vibrant and clean appearing.

Colour temperature 4600K and above, the light produced is often referred to as a "cool white", "pure white" or "day white". Light sources in this range will have a blue-ish white tint to them. The higher the number, the more blueish it will appear. This kind of light will appear crisp, invigorating and energetic.
