The Ideal Lux Swipe 287690 is a modern outdoor LED wall light designed for entrances, exterior walls, patios and other areas where directional illumination is useful. Finished in white, its compact rectangular form combines a powder-coated aluminium body with an adjustable opal polycarbonate diffuser. The integrated 20.5W LED produces warm white 3000K light, while the diffuser can be repositioned through a wide vertical adjustment range to change the direction of illumination. IP54 protection makes the fitting suitable for exterior use, with protection against dust ingress and splashing water. Measuring 21.2 cm wide and 10 cm high, Swipe offers a neat wall-mounted solution where a low-profile contemporary fitting and adjustable light direction are preferred.
Swipe has a clean, geometric appearance with a white powder-coated aluminium body and a broad adjustable front section. The light passes through a glossy opal polycarbonate screen, which conceals the LED source and gives the illuminated face a smooth, uniform appearance. Its simple rectangular proportions suit contemporary exterior architecture without adding unnecessary decorative detail. The fitting measures 21.2 cm across and 10 cm high, while its projection varies from 12 cm to 16.5 cm depending on the position of the adjustable diffuser.
The fitting uses an integrated 20.5W SMD LED module, so no separate replaceable bulb is required. It produces 3000K warm white light with a measured light beam flux of 2000 lumens and a useful light flux of 1390 lumens. The 105° beam provides broad direct illumination for exterior walls and nearby surfaces.
The diffuser is vertically adjustable through a 0° to 350° range, making it possible to alter the direction of the light after installation. This is useful where illumination needs to be directed towards a wall, pathway, doorway or surrounding area rather than fixed in one position. The manufacturer specifies on/off operation and confirms that this model is non-dimmable.

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.
