The Searchlight Menton 39880BK is a compact LED outdoor wall light in a sand black finish, designed to provide warm white illumination along exterior walls, entrances and sheltered outdoor areas. Its curved, sculpted housing creates a modern architectural appearance, while the downward-facing light openings direct illumination towards the surface below. Measuring 12 cm wide and 4.5 cm high, it is particularly useful where a discreet wall fitting is preferred over a larger outdoor lantern. Manufactured from ABS and polycarbonate, the Menton features an integrated 3000K LED light source, so separate bulbs are not required. Its IP44 rating provides protection against splashing water, making it suitable for appropriately positioned exterior walls, patios and entrances. The simple black finish also makes it easy to coordinate with contemporary exterior doors, window frames and architectural details.
The Menton has a gently curved, rectangular body in a sand black powder-coated finish. Its clean lines and compact proportions give it a modern appearance without making the fitting visually dominant on the wall.
The housing is manufactured from ABS and polycarbonate, with a smooth, sculpted front that conceals the integrated lighting components. Downward-facing openings beneath the curved body create a decorative lighting effect when illuminated.
At 12 cm wide, 4.5 cm high and projecting 7.7 cm from the wall, the fitting is well suited to smaller exterior spaces and areas where a neat, unobtrusive appearance is important.
The Menton features an integrated LED light source with a warm white colour temperature of 3000K and a manufacturer-listed light output of 338 lumens. Its downward-facing openings direct light towards the wall and the area immediately beneath the fitting, creating a defined decorative lighting pattern.
The warm white output can help create a welcoming appearance near entrances, seating areas and outdoor walls without the cooler appearance associated with daylight-coloured lighting.
As the LEDs are integrated into the fitting, there are no separate bulbs to purchase or install. The manufacturer specifies a 1W LED rating and confirms that the light is non-dimmable.
An IP44 rating provides protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and splashing water from any direction. The fitting is intended for outdoor wall installation but should not be submerged or exposed to high-pressure water jets.
The supplied installation instructions show a fixed wall-mounted base with mains wiring connections. The fitting is Class II double insulated.

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.
