Two Heads, Aimed Your Way
The Searchlight Dakota is a compact black outdoor wall light built around two square heads that rotate independently, so you can direct light exactly where you need it. Its minimalist, boxy shape gives it a modern look that suits contemporary porches and patios without drawing too much attention to the fixture itself.
This version comes in a matte black finish, made from aluminium and polycarbonate. The two frosted lenses glow with a soft warm white light, and the plain black housing pairs easily with dark render, brick or timber cladding.
How It Works
- Integrated LED module puts out around 8W and 549 lumens of warm white light at 3000K, so there is no separate bulb to change.
- Each square head rotates independently, so you can angle the light up, down or straight ahead.
- Rated IP44 and built from aluminium and polycarbonate, so it copes well with rain and splashing.
- Wired to the mains as a Class I fixture, so it needs a qualified electrician for installation.
Where It Works Best
- Front doors, porches and covered entrances where a compact, directional light is useful.
- Patios and garden walls, especially where a subtle wash of light is wanted rather than a bright glare.
- Modern black metalwork, dark render or brick, where the matte black finish blends in during the day.
About Searchlight Electric
Searchlight Electric traces back to Sidney Hamburger, who founded the company in Salford in 1945. It moved to Manchester in 1949 and is still in family hands, now three generations later.
Good to Know
- Comes with a 5 year warranty from Searchlight.
- The LED is integrated, so the whole fixture is replaced rather than the bulb at end of life.
- Wipe the aluminium and polycarbonate housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the black finish.
- If it is not right for your space, get in touch with our team about returning it.
Questions People Ask
- Can I point the light in different directions? Yes. Both square heads rotate independently, so you can aim the upper and lower light where you need it.
- Is the Dakota suitable for a covered porch? Yes. It is rated IP44 and fully splashproof, which makes it suitable for a covered porch, canopy or patio wall.
- Can I replace the bulb myself? No. The LED module is integrated into the fixture, so it is not designed to be replaced separately.
- Does it need a professional to install? Yes. It is a mains wired Class I fixture, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician.
