FAQs
Why is it called a bulkhead light?
Bulkhead lights originally got their name from a structural feature of a ship and a component of the ship's hull. This evolved to refer to a 'bulkhead fitting' that connects the light casing to a wall or surface. The bulkhead light still retains its maritime connection and is known for its ability to withstand harsh conditions, such as those encountered at sea.
Are bulkhead lights waterproof?
Bulkhead lights are renowned for their robust construction, often featuring heavy-duty housing and impact-resistant materials for reliable lighting in industrial environments or when installed outdoors and is exposed to the elements.
Our bulkhead lights are available in a variety of higher IP (Ingress Protection) ratings to protect against dust, dirt and water. These include IP54, IP55 and IP65.
Where should I install bulkhead lights?
Bulkhead lights are commonly used as security lighting in outdoor areas and are installed along building perimeters, entrances, and pathways to enhance safety and deter crime. In industrial and commercial environments, they provide reliable lighting or work areas and exterior spaces due to their durable design. These lights are also well-suited for maritime settings, residential outdoor spaces, and even interior design, thanks to their modern and industrial look.
What type of bulkhead light should I choose?
There are several factors to consider when choosing your perfect bulkhead lighting solution, including:
Shape
Bulkheads are available in a variety of shapes including oval, round, rectangular and square. Although each shape features similar functionalities, it's important to select a shape that complements the surrounding environment or architectural style. Some people prefer round bulkheads for uniform lighting, while a rectangular shape is popular for directional lighting.
LED or traditional bulb
LED bulkhead lights are increasingly popular due to their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and lower maintenance requirements. They provide bright, high-quality light while consuming less power. On the other hand, traditional bulbs may offer a warmer light appearance and can be easier to replace.
