Dubai - Black Lantern Wall Lamp with Sensor

The Dubai outdoor wall light has a simple geometric design with a black polycarbonate body and clear polycarbonate panels. Its rectangular lantern shape provides a contemporary alternative to traditional outdoor wall lanterns.

The clear panels leave the bulb visible and allow light to pass through the sides of the fitting. A solid lower section houses the motion-sensing components, keeping the functional parts integrated into the overall design.

With a height of 25.2 cm and a projection of just 10 cm, the fitting is suitable for exterior walls where a relatively shallow light is preferred. Its black finish can complement brick, render, timber cladding and other contemporary exterior surfaces.

The Dubai 38810BK uses one replaceable E27 GLS LED bulb, which is not included. The clear polycarbonate enclosure allows the chosen bulb to illuminate the surrounding area without an opaque shade blocking the light.

Its main functional feature is the integrated PIR motion sensor, which automatically operates the light when movement is detected under suitable dark conditions.

The manufacturer's installation instructions confirm the following sensor settings:

• Detection range: Up to 600 cm when mounted at a height of 250 cm.
• Detection angle: 120 degrees.
• Activation level: Below 20 lux, for dusk or dark conditions.
• Illumination time: 1 minute after activation.
• Repeat detection: Further movement restarts the timer.
• Warm-up time: 10 seconds after power is applied.

The sensor settings are fixed and cannot be adjusted. This is useful for straightforward automatic operation, although it is important to consider the fixed detection range and timing when selecting the installation position.

The fitting is designed for automatic on/off operation rather than brightness dimming. The E27 lampholder allows a suitable LED bulb to be replaced when needed.

• Front entrances and doorways requiring automatic lighting when someone approaches.
• Side entrances and access routes where hands-free illumination is convenient.
• Patios and outdoor seating areas that benefit from motion-activated lighting.
• Garden walls overlooking paths or regularly used access points.
• Modern residential exteriors suited to a simple black rectangular lantern design.
• Commercial building entrances and sheltered exterior access areas.
• Locations where an IP44-rated fitting is appropriate for the level of weather exposure.

• Built-in PIR sensor automatically switches the light on when movement is detected in dark conditions.
• 120-degree detection angle provides coverage across the area in front of the fitting.
• Up to 600 cm detection range at the specified mounting height of 250 cm.
• Fixed 1-minute operating period helps avoid leaving the light illuminated unnecessarily after movement stops.
• Daylight sensing prevents normal motion activation when ambient light is above the preset threshold.
• Clear polycarbonate panels allow light from the E27 bulb to pass through the lantern.
• Replaceable LED bulb provides flexibility when choosing light output and colour temperature.
• IP44 protection makes the fitting suitable for appropriate outdoor locations exposed to splashing water.
• Class II double-insulated construction provides electrical protection without requiring a protective earth connection to the fitting.
• Compact 10 cm wall projection helps keep the lantern relatively close to the mounting surface.

• Combines a contemporary outdoor lantern with automatic motion-activated lighting in one fitting.
• Provides a practical way to illuminate entrances and access routes without relying on manual switching each time.
• Uses a replaceable E27 LED bulb rather than a permanently integrated LED light source.
• Offers clearly defined sensor operation, with a fixed detection angle, range and illumination period.
• Its black and clear polycarbonate construction provides a straightforward appearance suited to many modern exterior settings.
• Wall-mounted, double-insulated design and IP44 rating make it suitable for a range of appropriately protected outdoor installations.

Does the Searchlight Dubai 38810BK come with a bulb?

No. The fitting requires one E27 GLS LED bulb, which must be purchased separately. Because it uses a replaceable bulb, you can choose the light output and colour temperature to suit the location, while ensuring the bulb is compatible with the fitting.

How does the PIR motion sensor work?

The sensor detects movement within a 120-degree area, up to a maximum distance of 600 cm when installed at 250 cm high. It activates only when ambient light falls below 20 lux. Once triggered, the light remains on for 1 minute, with further movement restarting the timer.

Can the motion sensor settings be adjusted?

No. The detection sensitivity, daylight threshold and illumination period are fixed. The light operates automatically using the manufacturer's preset settings, so there are no user adjustments for the detection range, 1-minute timer or activation level.

Is the Dubai wall light suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The fitting has an IP44 rating, providing protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and splashing water from any direction. It is suitable for appropriately positioned outdoor walls, including entrances, patios and pathways. It is not intended for immersion or direct high-pressure water jets.

Where should the light be installed for the best sensor coverage?

Searchlight specifies vertical installation at a mounting height of 250 cm to achieve the stated maximum detection distance of 600 cm. Position the fitting so the sensor faces the intended approach area. Nearby heat sources and small animals may cause unwanted activation, so the surrounding environment should also be considered.
