The Searchlight 701160 Galvanised Silver Wall Lamp is an IP44 rated outdoor wall light with a practical industrial design. Its broad, downward-facing dome shade and galvanised silver finish make it well suited to entrances, porches, patios and sheltered outdoor seating areas. A short horizontal arm connects the shade to a circular wall plate, creating the familiar appearance of a traditional workshop or factory light. The fitting measures 18 cm high, 20 cm wide and projects 24.3 cm from the wall. Designed for one replaceable E27 LED bulb up to 10W, it provides downward-directed illumination without an exposed decorative bulb. The simple shape works particularly well with brick, timber, rendered walls and industrial-inspired exterior designs.
A wide, rounded dome shade is the main feature of this Searchlight outdoor wall lamp. Its galvanised silver finish has a slightly textured, metallic appearance rather than the smooth reflection of polished chrome.
The shade sits beneath a short cylindrical upper section and is supported by a straight horizontal arm attached to a circular wall plate. Visible fastening details reinforce the functional, industrial character.
Viewed from below, the light has a pale diffuser across the shade opening. This keeps the lamp compartment visually discreet while maintaining the distinctive dome-shaped silhouette. The overall design is straightforward and suits both traditional utility-style exteriors and contemporary industrial settings.
The fitting uses one replaceable E27 LED bulb with a manufacturer-specified maximum of 10W. The bulb is not included, so it can be selected separately to provide the preferred brightness and colour temperature.
Its downward-facing dome directs illumination towards the area beneath the wall light. This makes the design useful beside a doorway, above an outdoor seating area or along a wall where localised lighting is required. The pale diffuser covers the underside of the shade and helps screen the light source from direct view.
The IP44 rating confirms protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes from any direction. This makes the fitting suitable for appropriately positioned outdoor wall installations, although it should not be exposed to high-pressure water jets or immersion.
Compatible with dimmable E27 bulbs when paired with a suitable dimmer switch. The bulbs and dimmer switch need to be matched to each other for dimming to work properly.

What bulb does the Searchlight 701160 wall light require?
It requires one E27 LED bulb with a maximum wattage of 10W. The bulb is purchased separately, so you can select the brightness and colour temperature to suit the intended outdoor location. Check that the chosen bulb is physically suitable for the shade.
Can this galvanised silver wall light be installed outdoors?
Yes. The fitting has an IP44 rating, providing protection against splashing water from any direction. It is suitable for appropriately positioned outdoor walls, including entrances, porches and patios. IP44 does not mean the light is waterproof against immersion or high-pressure water jets.
Is the Searchlight 701160 dimmable?
Yes. It is compatible with dimmable E27 bulbs when paired with a suitable dimmer switch. The bulbs and dimmer switch need to be matched to each other for dimming to work properly. A standard non-dimmable LED bulb will not provide this function.
How far does the wall lamp project from the wall?
The fitting projects 24.3 cm from the wall, with an overall height of 18 cm and width of 20 cm. These dimensions are useful when planning its position beside a door or along a pathway where adequate clearance is important.
Does this outdoor wall lamp shine upwards or downwards?
The dome-shaped shade faces downwards, directing light towards the space below the fitting. This arrangement is particularly useful for doorway lighting and local illumination beside an exterior wall. The actual brightness and spread will depend on the E27 LED bulb selected.
