The Architectural Lighting Meath 65838 is a compact outdoor LED bulkhead designed for practical wall-mounted illumination around homes and commercial properties. Its integrated 12.5W LED produces 1040 lumens at a warm white 3000K colour temperature, providing useful light without requiring a separate bulb. The fitting combines a white polycarbonate diffuser with dark grey decorative covers and is supplied with two cover options, giving some flexibility over its finished appearance. Rated IP65 and made from corrosion-resistant plastic materials, it is suitable for exposed outdoor positions and coastal locations. At 23 cm long, 11 cm high and 7.5 cm deep, the low-profile design works well where a robust, unobtrusive wall light is required.
- base comes with two covers
- corrosion resistant
- vandal resistant materials
The Meath has a simple contemporary bulkhead shape with a white polycarbonate light-diffusing section and dark grey decorative covers. Two cover options are supplied with the fitting, providing alternative ways to finish the front while retaining the same compact wall-mounted form. Plastic construction helps make the fitting suitable for exposed locations where corrosion resistance is important. Its understated dark grey and white combination suits modern exterior walls without introducing elaborate decorative detailing.
An integrated 12.5W LED light source is built into the fitting, so there is no separate bulb to purchase or replace during installation. It produces 1040 lumens with a 3000K warm white colour temperature, providing useful illumination for entrances, pathways and other exterior wall areas.
The IP65 rating provides protection against dust ingress and water jets, making the Meath suitable for outdoor installation. It is also Class II double insulated and mains operated. The surface-mounted format keeps installation straightforward where a compact wall-mounted bulkhead is preferred.

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.
