A Classic Coach Lantern With Built In Security Lighting
The Acton is a traditional style outdoor wall lantern in a rust brown finish, its die cast aluminium frame and glass panels giving it the look of a classic coach lantern while a built in PIR sensor adds automatic security lighting.
Materials and Finish
Made from die cast aluminium finished in a rust brown tone, with clear glass panels surrounding the light source.
How It Works
It takes one E27 GLS bulb (not supplied), so you can fit the warmth and brightness you prefer. The PIR sensor detects movement and switches the light on automatically, and it isn't dimmable. It's wired to Class I, meaning the fitting needs to be earthed as part of installation.
Where It Works Best
With an IP44 rating, the Acton is suited to porches, front doors and other covered exterior walls, giving traditional style outdoor wall lighting with a PIR sensor for entrances.

Questions People Ask
Does the Acton wall light turn on automatically?
Yes. It has a built in PIR sensor that detects movement nearby and switches the light on, so you do not need a separate switch for everyday use.
What bulb does the Acton use, and is one included?
It takes one E27 GLS bulb, which is not included, so you can choose the brightness and colour temperature you prefer.
Can I dim the Acton outdoor wall light?
No. The Acton is not dimmable, so it runs at full brightness whenever the PIR sensor detects movement or the light is switched on.
Where can I fit the Acton outdoor wall light?
It has an IP44 rating, so it is designed for covered outdoor spots such as porches, front doors and covered walkways, rather than areas exposed directly to driving rain.
Does the Acton need to be installed by an electrician?
It is wired to Class I and needs to be earthed as part of installation, so fitting by a registered electrician such as a NICEIC member is recommended.
