Product Care Guide
Plaster
Dust with a soft, dry cloth only. Plaster is porous, so avoid all liquid cleaners — they'll stain or mark the surface. Raw plaster fittings can be painted: use a matte emulsion in two thin coats, allowing each to dry fully before powering on. Don't install in bathrooms or other damp areas unless the IP rating allows it.
Brass & metal
Brass develops a natural patina over time, which most people prefer. To keep the current finish, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For a brighter look, use a brass-specific polish sparingly. Never use lemon, vinegar, or abrasive cleaners — these damage lacquered brass irreversibly. Polished chrome and nickel finishes can be wiped with a damp microfibre cloth.
Glass
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly to avoid water marks. For stubborn marks, a mild glass cleaner is fine. Always ensure the fitting is switched off and fully cool before cleaning.
Fabric shades
Dust with a soft brush or vacuum on the lowest setting using an upholstery attachment. Avoid wet cleaning — fabric shades can stain, warp, or shrink. Spot-clean small marks only with a barely-damp microfibre cloth.
Ceramic
Glazed ceramic can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Unglazed or matte ceramic should be kept dry and dusted only. Always ensure the fitting is switched off and cool first.
Before you clean
Switch off at the wall and let the fitting cool fully. Never spray cleaner directly onto a fitting — apply to a cloth first. If your fitting has visible wiring, electrical components, or LED drivers exposed, keep moisture well away from these areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Castor outdoor wall light require an electrician to install?
Yes, as this is a hardwired Class I fitting, it must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with Part P of the Building Regulations. The installation difficulty is rated as easy for a professional, and all necessary mounting hardware is included in the box. You'll need an existing outdoor electrical supply or cable run to the mounting location.
Is this wall light suitable for use in a bathroom?
Yes, the Castor has an IP44 rating and is certified for Bathroom Zone 1, making it suitable for installation directly above a bath or shower enclosure. As with any bathroom lighting, installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician to meet BS 7671 wiring regulations. The IP44 rating also provides adequate protection against splashing water outdoors.
What bulbs does this light take and is it dimmable?
This fitting uses 2 x GU10 bulbs (not included) and is dimmable when paired with dimmable GU10 lamps and a compatible dimmer switch. You can use LED, halogen, or other GU10 bulb types up to the maximum wattage rating. GU10 bulbs are widely available and easy to replace by twisting and pulling from the lampholder.
What are the exact dimensions of this rectangular wall light?
The Castor measures 160mm in height, 100mm in width, and projects 75mm from the wall. It weighs 600g, making it suitable for mounting on standard exterior walls. The compact rectangular profile makes it ideal for flanking doorways or illuminating smaller outdoor areas without overwhelming the space.
Can this light withstand outdoor weather conditions year-round?
Yes, with an IP44 rating, this light is protected against splashing water from any direction and solid objects larger than 1mm, making it suitable for outdoor use in the UK climate. It's rated to operate in temperatures from -10°C to +40°C, covering typical British weather conditions. The aluminium construction and anthracite grey finish provide durability against the elements.
What warranty does this outdoor wall light come with?
The Castor comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is provided by LASIDE, the manufacturer, and the fitting is both CE marked and RoHS compliant. Keep your proof of purchase to validate any warranty claims during this period.
