Alicia

As a mains-voltage Class I outdoor wall light, installation must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations. Unless you're a qualified electrician or registered competent person, you'll need to hire a certified professional to carry out the installation and test the circuit. The light mounts to a standard wall-mounted back box and requires an earth connection for safety.

Yes, the Alicia has an IP44 rating, making it suitable for most outdoor applications including exterior walls, porches, and covered patios. IP44 provides protection against splashing water from any direction, so it will handle rain and typical UK weather conditions. Avoid placing it in locations where it would be subject to direct high-pressure water jets or complete submersion.

The Alicia uses a standard E27 Edison Screw bulb with a maximum wattage of 40W. You can fit LED, halogen, or traditional incandescent E27 bulbs up to this limit. Dimming capability depends entirely on the bulb you choose and whether you have a compatible dimmer switch installed—the fitting itself doesn't restrict dimming, but you'll need to select a dimmable bulb and appropriate dimmer.

The Alicia measures 320mm in height, 165mm in width, and projects 120mm from the wall. These compact dimensions make it ideal for flanking doorways, garage entrances, or smaller porch areas where you want statement lighting without overwhelming the space.

Yes, the Alicia can be wired to work with an external PIR sensor or dusk-to-dawn photocell, provided these are installed on the circuit by your electrician. The light itself doesn't have built-in motion sensing or automatic switching, so you'll need to add these controls separately if required.

The transparent panels are made from polycarbonate rather than glass. Polycarbonate is significantly more impact-resistant than glass, making it a practical choice for outdoor applications where breakage from weather, impacts, or vandalism could be a concern, whilst still delivering the classic lantern aesthetic.
