Hadsten

The product specifications don't list a specific IP rating, so we recommend confirming this detail before purchase if you need the fitting for a particularly exposed location. For general outdoor use under eaves or covered porches, most outdoor-rated wall lights perform well, but if you're installing it in a fully exposed position subject to direct heavy rain, you'll want to ensure it has at least an IP44 rating or higher.

The Hadsten uses a standard E27 screw fitting, which gives you flexibility to choose any E27 bulb to suit your needs. You can opt for LED, halogen, or traditional incandescent bulbs (though LED is most energy-efficient for outdoor use). Simply ensure your chosen bulb is suitable for outdoor conditions and doesn't exceed the maximum wattage stated in the instruction manual.

Under UK Building Regulations Part P, outdoor lighting installations must be carried out by a qualified electrician or registered competent person, as outdoor circuits are notifiable work. The fitting comes with mounting screws and plugs for the physical installation, but the electrical connection to your mains supply must be completed by a professional to ensure safety and compliance.

Dimmability depends entirely on the bulb you choose to use with the E27 fitting, as the specifications don't indicate the fitting itself has dimming restrictions. If you fit a dimmable LED or halogen E27 bulb and have a compatible dimmer switch installed on the circuit, you'll be able to dim the light. Always check your chosen bulb's packaging to confirm it's marked as dimmable.

The specific dimensions aren't provided in the product specifications shown. We recommend checking the full product listing or contacting customer service for exact measurements before purchase, especially if you're working with limited wall space or need to ensure it suits a particular location such as beside a narrow doorway or between windows.

As a down light design, the Hadsten creates a focused downward cone of light rather than wide ambient illumination, making it ideal for highlighting pathways, architectural features, or creating atmospheric pools of light. The actual brightness will depend on which E27 bulb you install—for a well-lit front door, consider using an LED bulb of around 800-1000 lumens (equivalent to a 60-75W traditional bulb). For purely decorative accent lighting, a lower lumen output would suffice.
