Bulkhead Lights

An amenity bulkhead is a compact, low-wattage light for areas that need a modest level of light, such as porches, stairwells, walkways and bin stores. LED versions usually have a sealed body for damp or outdoor positions, and some add a sensor. The range here includes LED amenity bulkheads with standard, daylight sensor and motion sensor options.

Yes, some can. DALI bulkheads dim through a DALI lighting control system, while bulkheads with a lamp holder can dim when fitted with a dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer. Integrated LED bulkheads without a dimming feature should not be put on a dimmer. Check the product details before choosing. The range here includes DALI and dimmable bulkheads.

A sensor bulkhead switches itself on when it detects movement, then off again after a set time with no activity. Many also have a daylight sensor, so they stay off while it is light. Microwave sensors can detect movement through the diffuser, while PIR sensors detect body heat. The range here includes LED bulkheads with built-in sensors.

Yes. Bulkhead lights are built for exposed and damp positions, but outdoor use needs a suitable IP rating, such as IP65 for walls exposed to rain. Look for an impact-resistant diffuser where the light is within reach of the public. Check the IP rating on the product before fitting it outside. The range here includes IP65 rated bulkheads.

A bulkhead light is a robust, enclosed light fitting mounted on a wall or ceiling, usually with a sealed body and a protective diffuser. The name comes from the lights used on ships' bulkheads. They suit utility rooms, garages, stairwells and outdoor walls. The range here includes LED, emergency and sensor bulkheads.
