Oval - Black Brick Light with Frosted Glass IP44

The FW001 features a black oval housing with a ridged glass diffuser. Its straightforward, utilitarian design is particularly suited to exterior walls where a compact, enclosed light is preferred over a projecting lantern.

The fitting combines aluminium and glass, with the black outer structure framing the textured diffuser. The ridged glass gives the illuminated surface a patterned appearance and helps reduce the direct view of the bulb.

At 31 cm wide and 21 cm high, the horizontal oval shape is distinctive without relying on decorative detailing. Its 11 cm projection also makes it suitable for locations where a relatively low-profile wall fitting is desirable.

The Searchlight FW001 uses one replaceable E27 LED bulb, with a stated 10W lamp rating. The bulb is not included, so the light colour and brightness can be selected to suit the intended outdoor application.

Warm white LED lighting can help create a welcoming appearance beside an entrance or patio door, while a neutral white bulb may be preferable where clearer functional illumination is needed. Actual brightness depends on the lumen output of the chosen bulb.

The ridged glass diffuser helps spread the visible light across the front of the fitting rather than leaving the bulb completely exposed. Its enclosed construction makes it suitable for general wall lighting rather than narrow-beam directional illumination.

The manufacturer specifies the FW001 as non-dimmable. It is designed for fixed wall installation and has an IP44 rating, providing protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and splashing water from different directions.

As a Class I fitting, it requires an appropriate protective earth connection during installation.

What bulb does the Searchlight FW001 use?

The fitting requires one E27 LED bulb, with a stated 10W lamp rating. The bulb is purchased separately, allowing you to choose the preferred colour temperature and brightness. Check that the selected bulb fits comfortably within the enclosed housing.

Is the Searchlight FW001 suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The FW001 has an IP44 rating, which provides protection against splashing water and solid objects larger than 1 mm. It is suitable for appropriately installed exterior wall-lighting applications, but should not be submerged or exposed to direct high-pressure water jets.

Can the Searchlight FW001 be dimmed?

No. Searchlight lists this model as non-dimmable. It is intended to provide standard on/off lighting rather than adjustable brightness.

How far does the fitting project from the wall?

The FW001 projects 11 cm from the mounting surface. Its overall dimensions are 21 cm high and 31 cm wide. This makes it a relatively shallow outdoor fitting, useful for entrances and passageways where limiting wall projection is important.

Does the FW001 require an earth connection?

Yes. The manufacturer specifies Class I electrical protection, meaning the fitting requires a protective earth connection. Installation should be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician in accordance with applicable electrical regulations and the manufacturer's instructions.
