Art Deco Outdoor Wall Light, Barred Cap

Three Short Bars at Each End, and They Do Rather More Than They Look Like

Look at any 1930s cinema front or lift lobby and you find the same move: a vertical element closed at both ends by stepped horizontal blades. It reads as deliberate rather than cut off, and it gives the eye somewhere to stop. That is exactly what the bars do here. Without them the lit column would simply end at the top and bottom of the frame, which is how most modern wall fixtures are drawn. With them the body has a head and a foot, and the whole thing sits comfortably next to a paneled door or a period elevation where a plain box would look like equipment. It is a small amount of metalwork carrying the entire style of the fixture.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

What makes this art deco rather than modern?

The stepped bars. Three short blades project from the frame at the top and again at the foot, which is a 1930s device for closing a vertical form. Take them off and the same body reads as plain contemporary metalwork.

How tall is the largest size?

Just over three feet, at 39.4 inches, on a body only 6.3 inches wide. That proportion is what carries a two story elevation, where a fixture under two feet looks undersized next to the openings.

Is it dimmable?

The solar build ships with a remote dimmer. The wired build runs from a common wall switch and holds one level, so tell us if dimming on the house circuit matters and we will point you at the right one.

What is the diffuser?

Acrylic, not glass. It takes a knock from a ladder or a garden tool without shattering, and it holds an even glow along the column instead of showing the source as a point behind clear glazing.

How is it fixed to the wall?

Through the back plate, onto a flat surface, with the supply terminated behind it on the wired build. Lap siding needs a mounting block so the plate sits flat and the gasket seals.

Will it take an exposed position?

Yes. IP65 covers dust and water jets arriving from any angle, which is what an unprotected wall delivers in a storm. Do not immerse it, and on the solar build keep leaves off the top cap.

Wired Where the Supply Is, Solar Where Opening the Wall Is Not Worth It

The two builds are the same fixture with two different answers to one question: how does the power get there. Wired means AC 110-240V brought to the wall and terminated behind the back plate, which gives the same output in February that you had in July and needs an electrician on a new position. Solar means a cell in the top cap and nothing run to the wall at all, which suits a garden wall, a gate pier or a back elevation where chasing in a cable would cost more than the light. The frame, the acrylic column and the three heights are identical. Choose by what is already in the wall, not by the look.
