The Ideal Lux Swipe 287720 is a modern outdoor LED wall light in a white finish, designed for entrances, pathways, patios and other exterior areas where automatic lighting is useful. An integrated motion sensor works together with a twilight sensor, so the fitting can respond to movement when ambient light levels are low. The adjustable light body allows the direction of illumination to be altered to suit the installation. A 21W integrated LED produces warm white 3000K light, while the IP54 rating provides protection suitable for outdoor wall mounting. Measuring 21.2 cm wide and 10 cm high, with an adjustable projection from 12 cm to 16.5 cm, the Swipe combines a compact rectangular design with practical sensor-controlled exterior lighting.
The Swipe has a clean, rectangular form suited to contemporary exterior architecture. Its body is made from powder-coated aluminium in a white finish, paired with a glossy opal polycarbonate diffuser. The opal surface conceals the LED source and provides a more even visible light surface than an exposed LED module.
The diffuser section is adjustable, allowing the fitting angle to be adjusted after installation. Its projection can therefore vary from 12 cm to 16.5 cm, while the overall width remains 21.2 cm and the height 10 cm.
A built-in 21W LED module provides warm white 3000K illumination with a source output of 2300 lumens. The fitting has a useful light output of 1390 lumens, a CRI above 90 and a 105° beam angle. The high colour-rendering specification helps exterior colours and surfaces appear more natural under light.
The adjustable diffuser lets the direction of the light be altered to suit a doorway, wall, path or nearby surface. A PIR motion sensor and twilight sensor are integrated into this version, providing automatic operation when movement is detected under suitable low-light conditions. The LED source is integrated rather than replaceable, so no separate bulb is required.
This model is confirmed as 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.
