Your Questions, Answered
How do I remove the cover to change the bulb?
The glass cage section lifts away from the birdcage frame to expose the E27 fitting, so swapping the bulb is a simple, tool-light job. The bulb is fully replaceable, so the fitting keeps working for years.
Is this light suitable for rain and damp conditions?
Yes, the IP54 rating means it is dust-protected and resistant to water splashes, making it built for exterior wall mounting. It’s designed specifically for porches, entrances and garden walls.
What is the difference between Constant-On and Motion Sensor?
Constant-On stays lit continuously once switched on, while the Motion Sensor version detects movement from around 2 to 5 metres and switches off automatically about 50 seconds after movement stops. Choose whichever suits how you use your entrance.
Does it need a plug socket or is it hardwired?
Aldervyn is a hardwired fitting designed to connect directly to your 220-240V mains supply. This gives a clean, permanent installation with no visible cables.
How bright is the included bulb?
The included 4W E27 LED bulb produces 385 lumens of warm 3000K light with a CRI of 80, giving a cosy, welcoming glow across an area of roughly 5-10 square metres. It’s ideal for porches and entrance lighting.
What finishes and types are available?
Aldervyn comes in Black or Bronze finish and as Constant-On or Motion Sensor type, available in Single, 2-Pack, 4-Pack, 6-Pack or 8-Pack sizes. Mix and match the finish and type to suit your home.
How long will the bulb and fitting last?
The LED bulb carries a rated lamp life of up to 50,000 hours, and the fitting itself is backed by a 10-year warranty. Built from iron and glass, it’s made for long-term outdoor use.
