It lights an entrance, a passage or a terrace without leaving the light on permanently. The housing is sealed, the sensor sits inside the casing, the wall fixing is designed for damp conditions and the settings are accessible without opening the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBulkhead light, outdoor wall light or floodlight: what is the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bulkhead light and an outdoor wall light mean the same thing: a casing fixed to the wall, aimed downwards or to the sides, lighting a nearby area. A floodlight, on the other hand, is placed on the ground or high up and covers a wider volume. For a door, a path or a terrace step, the close-up light of a wall light is enough.

The E27 base takes an LED as well as a classic bulb, provided the cover closes properly. The light colour is chosen according to use: warmer for an entrance, more neutral for a passage.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which outdoor terrace wall light should I choose?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"On a terrace, an outdoor wall light with a sensor lights the door, the steps or the dining corner without staying on. Look at the casing material and its finish to match the facade, the direction of light diffusion, then the IP rating suited to the terrace's exposure.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which outdoor bulkhead lights with motion sensor should I choose for an entrance?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"For an entrance, favour a model aimed towards the arrival, adjustable in sensitivity and duration, with a casing that resists damp. The colour and material are then chosen according to the wall, the door and the look of the facade.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How to set up an LED bulkhead light with motion detection?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"First set the brightness threshold so the lamp only switches on at dusk, then the sensitivity and range until the passage is detected without distant triggering. The delay finally sets how long the light stays on after the last movement detected.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why install an outdoor bulkhead light in your garden or on your facade?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"An outdoor bulkhead light with a sensor avoids leaving a light on continuously: it only switches on as you pass, lighting the arrival without lighting the whole garden. It is useful for an entrance, a path, an outbuilding or a garage wall poorly served by lighting.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can you fit a bulkhead light with a motion sensor yourself?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Replacing a wall bulkhead light is done on an existing electrical supply, with the power off. The connection itself remains an electrician's job: you must respect the conductor cross-section, the earth and the sealing of cable entries. If in doubt, it is better to entrust the fitting to a professional.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does a sensor trigger with an animal or a car?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"An infrared sensor reacts to any moving heat source in its field, including a sufficiently large animal or a warm car. By reducing the range and aiming the sensor towards the passage to cover rather than towards the street, you limit these triggers.\"}}]}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/8598\/2228\/collections\/designix-entete-hublots-d-exterieur-a-detecteur-de-mouvement-v1.jpg?v=1791751353","url":"https:\/\/designix-lighting.com\/collections\/outdoor-bulkhead-lights-with-motion-sensor.oembed","provider":"Designix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
