Evolec Nova LED Bulkhead Light, Multiwatt CCT, IP65

Evolec Nova LED Bulkhead, Multiwatt CCT, IP65

Free delivery from the first euro on the Evolec Nova round LED bulkhead. One fitting covers three power levels and three light colours, so you set it on the wall rather than choosing at the till. It arrives with both a black and a white frame in the box, and it is cable free, which makes it quicker to put up.

Where it fits

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does multiwatt mean on a bulkhead?
A: There is a switch on the fitting that sets it to 9W, 12W or 18W, giving 1100, 1500 or 2000 lumens. You choose the output at installation, so the same fitting suits a small hall and a garage. It is set once and left.

Q: What does switchable CCT mean?
A: A second switch sets the colour of the light to 3000K warm white, 4000K cool white or 6500K daylight. Between the two switches one product covers nine combinations.

Q: Which colour temperature should I pick?
A: 3000K warm white for halls, landings and anywhere domestic. 4000K for utility rooms and porches. 6500K daylight for garages and workshops where you want to see detail clearly.

Q: Can this go on a fully exposed outside wall?
A: Yes. It is IP65, which is dust tight and protected against water jets, so it is rated for wind driven rain rather than only for a sheltered porch.

Q: Do I have to choose black or white when ordering?
A: No. Both frames are supplied in the box and they are interchangeable, so you decide on site.

Q: Is 2000 lumens bright enough for a garage?
A: For a single car garage, yes, particularly at 6500K on the 18W setting. For a larger space or a workshop where you are working on detail, use two fittings or step up to a batten, which spreads light along a length rather than from one point.

Q: Can it be dimmed?
A: No. This fitting is not dimmable. The wattage switch is how you set the level.

Q: Do I need an electrician?
A: Yes. A bulkhead is fixed wiring, so it should be connected by a registered electrician on a properly protected circuit.

Q: Do the LEDs need replacing?
A: No. The LEDs are integrated and rated for 30,000 hours, so there is no lamp to change. At a few hours a day that is many years of use.

Q: Where can I buy LED bulkhead lights in Ireland?
A: Shamrock Electrical stocks Evolec Nova, Orion, Oscar and Eclipse bulkheads in a range of wattages and IP ratings, including switchable CCT and stainless steel versions for coastal positions.
