The Searchlight Stratford 2572BK is a compact outdoor LED wall light designed to cast warm white illumination both upwards and downwards across an exterior wall. Finished in sand black with clear glass details, its slim profile measures just 3 cm in projection, making it particularly useful beside entrances, along exterior walls and in areas where a deeper fitting could feel intrusive. The integrated 6W LED produces 400 lumens at a warm white 3000K colour temperature, so there are no separate bulbs to purchase. An IP44 rating provides protection against splashing water for outdoor use, while the simple contemporary shape works well with modern homes and understated exterior schemes.
The Stratford has a low-profile rectangular form finished in sand black, giving it a clean and understated appearance on an exterior wall. Its construction combines metal with clear glass, with the light directed from the upper and lower sections of the fitting rather than projecting straight outwards.
At 9 cm high, 11.5 cm wide and only 3 cm deep, it sits particularly close to the wall. This shallow projection is useful around doorways, passages and other locations where space is limited. The black finish also provides a neutral contrast against brick, render, stone and lighter exterior surfaces.
An integrated 6W LED light source provides 400 lumens of warm white 3000K illumination. Light is distributed upwards and downwards, creating two areas of illumination across the wall and helping to define entrances, architectural surfaces and exterior pathways without relying on a forward-facing lamp.
The LED source is built into the fitting, so replacement bulbs are not required. The Stratford is mains operated and is a Class 1 earthed fitting. It is not dimmable.
Its IP44 rating means the enclosure is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and against splashing water, making it suitable for appropriate outdoor wall installations. Position and installation should always follow normal outdoor electrical requirements.

Does the Searchlight Stratford 2572BK need separate bulbs?
No. It has a built-in 6W LED light source, so there is no separate bulb to purchase. The integrated LED produces a total light output of 400 lumens at a warm white colour temperature of 3000K.
Does this wall light shine upwards and downwards?
Yes. The fitting directs light both upwards and downwards across the wall. This produces an architectural lighting effect that can highlight an entrance or exterior surface while also providing useful illumination around the installation area.
Can the Stratford 2572BK be used outdoors?
Yes. It has an IP44 rating and is designed as an outdoor wall fitting. IP44 provides protection against splashing water, making it suitable for appropriate exterior wall locations when correctly installed.
Is the Searchlight 2572BK dimmable?
No. The integrated LED system in this fitting is specified as non-dimmable, so it is intended for standard on and off operation rather than connection to a dimming control.
How far does the light project from the wall?
The Stratford projects only 3 cm from the wall. Its shallow profile makes it particularly useful beside entrances, along passages and in other exterior positions where a deeper wall light could protrude unnecessarily.

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.
