Denro Linear Outdoor Wall Light

The Denro is a tall rectangular frame in dark grey aluminium, held away from the wall on a squared bracket so it casts a clean shadow line down the render behind it. Clear glass panes wrap the frame and a white diffuser panel sits inside, which is what gives the fitting its soft even glow rather than a hard point of light. The design is linear and modern rather than traditional, and it won a Red Dot Award in 2018.

A motion detector sits in the plate below the frame and covers a 120 degree arc at a range of six to ten metres. The on-time is adjustable from five seconds up to ten minutes, which allows the same fitting to work as a brief courtesy light or as sustained cover for a longer approach. The integrated LED draws 10.8 W and delivers 750 lumens of warm white light at 3000 K.

That range suits a drive, a side gate or a front step, where the light should come on as someone arrives and go off again shortly after. Warm white at 3000 K keeps brick and planting looking natural after dark. An IP54 rating covers rain and splashing, so mount it on a wall rather than somewhere fully exposed to jets, and clear the sensor lens of cobwebs.
