Light thrown up and down, nothing wasted sideways Lars is built around two bands of white polycarbonate lens set into a black die cast aluminium body, throwing light both up the wall and down towards the ground. It is a genuinely modern shape, no lantern curves or reproduction detailing, just a clean rectangle that sits flush and unfussy against brick or render. Black Body, White Lens The black casing frames the two glowing white lens sections nicely, so during the day it reads as a neat geometric block on the wall. After dark the black centre band all but disappears, and the wall around the fitting picks up a soft, even wash of light from both directions. How It Works The 14W LED is integrated and rated at 1250 lumens with a warm 3000K colour temperature, so there is no bulb to buy or replace down the line. It is not dimmable, and being a fixed integrated unit it runs at full brightness whenever it is switched on. At 24cm tall, 13cm wide and just 5cm deep, it stays close to the wall without any awkward overhang, and its IP65 rating means it is built to cope with direct exposure to rain. Where It Works Best Its low profile and dual direction light suit modern house fronts, garden walls and pathways particularly well, especially where you want gentle wall washing rather than a strong single beam. It also works nicely mounted in pairs either side of a garage door or modern porch, marking an entrance without a harsh spotlight effect. About Elstead Elstead is a long established British lighting distributor, still run by the same family that founded the business from a base in Alton, Hampshire.

No, the integrated LED runs at a fixed 1250 lumen output and is not compatible with a dimmer switch. Can the bulb be replaced if it fails? No, the 14W LED is integrated into the fitting rather than a separate bulb, so it is not designed to be replaced on its own. Elstead backs it with a 3 year guarantee. Is Lars suitable for a fully exposed exterior wall? Yes, it carries an IP65 rating, which covers direct exposure to rain and driving weather, not just a sheltered porch. How far does the light project from the wall? Very little. At just 5cm deep it sits close to the wall surface, with an overall size of 24cm high by 13cm wide.
