The Ideal Lux Swipe AP Sensor 287737 is a modern outdoor wall light in a black finish, combining an integrated warm white LED with automatic motion and dusk sensing. Its compact rectangular form measures 21.2 cm wide, 10 cm high and projects 16.5 cm from the wall, making it suitable beside entrances, doors, pathways and other exterior access areas. The adjustable diffuser lets the direction of the light be altered to suit the installation, while the IP54 rating provides protection appropriate for exposed outdoor wall mounting. A built-in PIR motion sensor and twilight sensor allow the light to respond automatically when required, which is particularly useful for entrances and frequently used routes around the home.
The Swipe AP Sensor has a clean, understated rectangular profile finished in black. Its body is made from powder-coated aluminium, paired with a glossy opal polycarbonate diffuser that conceals the integrated LED source.
The diffuser is adjustable, so the illuminated section can be repositioned rather than remaining fixed in one direction. This gives the fitting a practical architectural appearance while also providing some control over where the light is directed. Its simple shape works particularly well with contemporary exterior walls, modern entrances and uncluttered architectural finishes.
An integrated 21W LED provides warm white light at 3000K. The light source is built into the fitting, so there is no separate bulb to purchase or replace during normal installation. The LED source is rated at 2300 lumens.
The diffuser can be adjusted to alter the direction of the light, and the fitting has a wide 105° beam angle. A PIR motion sensor detects movement, while the integrated twilight sensor enables automatic operation according to ambient light conditions. This makes the Swipe particularly useful around entrances, access points and exterior routes where automatic illumination is more convenient than relying solely on manual switching.
The integrated LED 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.
