The Ideal Lux Swipe 287706 is a modern outdoor wall light designed for entrances, exterior walls, patios and other areas where directional illumination is useful. Its compact black aluminium body houses an integrated 20.5W LED source, producing warm white 3000K light through an adjustable opal polycarbonate diffuser. With IP54 protection, the fitting is designed for outdoor wall mounting and is protected against dust ingress and splashing water. The adjustable front section allows the direction of the direct light output to be altered to suit the installation, while the clean rectangular form works particularly well with contemporary architecture. Measuring 21.2 cm wide and 10 cm high, Swipe provides useful exterior lighting without requiring a separate replaceable bulb.
Swipe has a compact, geometric appearance with a powder-coated aluminium body in a black finish. The rectangular front diffuser is made from glossy opal polycarbonate, creating a clean contrast against the darker housing while concealing the integrated LED source.
The diffuser section is adjustable, so its angle can be changed rather than remaining in one fixed position. This functional movement is incorporated into the simple architectural design, making the fitting suitable for modern exterior walls, rendered facades, brickwork and contemporary entrance areas.
An integrated 20.5W LED module provides direct warm white light at 3000K. The current Ideal Lux technical data gives a source output of 2300 lumens, with a 105° beam angle and CRI above 90 for accurate colour rendering.
The adjustable diffuser helps direct the light where it is needed, making Swipe suitable for illuminating areas around doors, pathways, patios and exterior walls. Its projection varies from 12 cm to 16.5 cm as the diffuser position changes.
This version operates on standard on/off control and is non-dimmable. The LED module is integrated and is not designed as a user-replaceable bulb. A built-in electronic driver is included, with driver replacement restricted to qualified operators.

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.
