A softly glowing downlight in a warm rust finish for steps and walls The Grada is a compact outdoor wall light that does its work quietly. A neat rectangular block of die cast aluminium sits flush against the wall, and rather than glaring outward it casts a soft beam downward through a ribbed lower diffuser. The result is a gentle wash of light across the surface below, ideal for marking steps, guiding along a path or grazing a textured wall without any harsh spill. It is a modern, understated piece that earns its place through function as much as looks. The rust finish and 157 size This is the smaller 157 model in a warm rust finish, an earthy terracotta tone that reads as natural rather than industrial. The colour settles beautifully against brick, render, natural stone and timber, so it suits period exteriors and garden walls just as well as contemporary builds. At its compact width the fitting stays discreet in daylight and lets the light, not the housing, do the talking after dark. The opal glass diffuser softens the LED so the beam looks even and comfortable to walk past. How it works Light comes from an integrated LED rated at 3W, producing a warm 3000K glow of around 86 lumens directed downwards. Because the LED is built in there are no bulbs to buy or replace, and the driver needed to run it is supplied with the fitting. It is a mains powered, surface mounted design that wires directly into your outdoor circuit and fixes to the wall through the back plate. Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician. Where it works best The downward beam makes the Grada 157 a natural choice for lower level lighting: alongside steps and stairways, down the length of a path or driveway, on terrace and patio walls, and beside porches, doorways and garden gates. Position several at a consistent height to lead the eye along a route, or use one to pick out an entrance. Its low, glare free light is well suited to homes where you want safe, welcoming illumination without lighting up the whole garden.

Questions People Ask How does the rust finish differ from the Grada in dark grey?The rust version of the Faro Grada 157 has a warm, earthy terracotta tone rather than a cool anthracite grey, so it reads as more natural against brick, stone and timber and suits period or garden settings where a grey finish can look too industrial. What does the IP54 rating mean for the Grada 157?IP54 means the Faro Grada 157 in rust is protected against dust and against water splashed onto it from any angle, which makes it suitable for an open exterior wall in normal weather, though it is not designed to be submerged or hosed down directly. What is included with the Grada 157 wall light?The Faro Grada 157 comes complete with its integrated 3W LED and built in driver, so no separate bulb or driver needs to be bought, and it is ready to wire into the mains once fitted to the wall. Is the Grada 157 dimmable?No. The Faro Grada 157 is not a dimmable fitting, so it runs at a fixed warm white 3000K output once switched on.
