Plan for two light points on a terrace: a wall light near the door and a floor model near the seating area. This collection brings together steel outdoor lights, all IP65, as wall lights or floor models, with a mostly black finish and LED or G4 lighting.
What is a steel outdoor light?
A steel outdoor light is a lighting fixture designed to stay outside: a steel or stainless steel structure, with an IP65 rating against dust and water spray. In this collection, it comes in two forms, the wall light and the floor model, mostly LED and with a G4 socket on one model, for the terrace, the facade and the poolside.
Steel outdoor light: what uses?
A wall light illuminates a wall, an entrance or a passage area without taking up floor space. A floor model such as Vectra floor light sits next to an armchair or along a pool edge. The whole selection is rated for outdoor use, and most references also carry the terrace use, which matches outdoor living areas. If you are looking for other formats, compare with design outdoor lights.
Why stainless steel for outdoors?
Stainless steel resists humidity and salt spray better than standard steel. All the references in the collection combine steel and stainless steel, which explains the IP65 rating and the five-year warranty on most models. Black dominates, with a white variant for light-coloured facades, visible in the white finishes.
| Criterion | What the collection offers | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Steel and stainless steel | Resists humidity and bad weather |
| Protection rating | IP65 on all models | Protects against water spray and dust |
| Technology | LED on most, G4 on one model | Durability and bulb replacement |
| Colour temperature | Warm white 2700 to 3500 K on 83% of models | Warm atmosphere in the evening |
| Power | 2 W, 4 W or 40 W | Adapt the light to the surface to cover |
| Warranty | Five years on 83% of the selection, two years on 17% | Secures the purchase over time |
Stainless steel or corten steel outdoor light: what is the difference?
Stainless steel resists corrosion and humidity better than standard steel. The models in this collection combine steel and stainless steel, with a mostly black finish and a white option. Corten steel and galvanised steel are not part of the current selection.
Galvanised steel outdoor light: is it suitable?
Galvanised steel receives a zinc coating that protects it from rust, often used on furniture or ironwork. No model in this selection is listed with this finish. If you are looking for a matte grey look, look instead at modern outdoor lights, where black tube shapes offer a similar line.
Corten steel outdoor lights: what to remember?
Corten develops a deliberate rust patina, sought after for a raw garden. This is not what this collection offers, whose finishes are black or white. The common point remains metal: if this material interests you indoors, the same family of materials can be found in copper lights, for a different warm look.
Where to install a steel outdoor light?
On a terrace, a steel wall light illuminates a wall or a passage area without taking up floor space. A floor model such as Vectra or Cassio is placed near an outdoor lounge or a pool. Dimensions range from 7 cm to 28.4 cm in depth and up to 50 cm in height.
Which steel outdoor light for a terrace?
Start with the house wall: the Bivira two-output wall light projects two beams from a single fixing point, handy above a table. The Extara with gold angled tube, more compact, suits a path or a pillar. To go further on floor formats, see the outdoor floor models.
Which floor model for poolside areas?
Around a pool, keep the fixture out of direct spray zones and place the base on stable ground. Vectra floor light, 50 cm tall, lights without taking up bathing space. Cassio and its gold reflector sends a more directed light. Other solutions are gathered in poolside lighting.
| Model | Type | Socket | Power | Dimensions | Colour | Style |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bivira | Angled tube wall light, two outputs | LED | 4 W | W 7 cm x D 28.4 cm x H max 10.9 cm | Black | Contemporary |
| Extara | Gold angled tube wall light | LED | 2 W | W 7 cm x D 9.5 cm x H max 10.9 cm | Black | Contemporary |
| Dyla | Tube-shaped wall light | G4 | 40 W | 43 cm x 16 cm | Black and white | Modern and contemporary |
| Sylvander | Curved wall light with gold lens | LED | 2 W | W 7 cm x D 10.9 cm x H max 9.5 cm | Black | Contemporary |
| Cassio | Angled head wall light, gold reflector | LED | 2 W | W 10 cm x D 10.9 cm x H max 50 cm | Black | Contemporary |
| Vectra | Floor light, curved T head | LED | 4 W | W 10 cm x D 28.4 cm x H max 50 cm | Black | Contemporary |
How to choose the power and colour temperature of a steel outdoor light?
Power ranges from 2 W to 40 W depending on the model, and the colour temperature of the LED versions is warm white between 2700 K and 3500 K. The socket is LED on most references, with one G4 model. Choose 2 W or 4 W for accent lighting, 40 W for a wider area.
2 W, 4 W or 40 W: which power for which use?
2 W is enough to outline a wall or mark a step: this is the case for Extara, Sylvander and Cassio. 4 W, on Bivira and Vectra, lights a small table or an armchair. The Dyla model, at 40 W, is intended for a wider surface or a facade to highlight. To compare with indoors, see LED lighting for the living room.
Warm white 2700-3500 K: what atmosphere?
Warm white leans yellow and stays comfortable in the evening, without the cold effect of a neutral white. This is the setting of 83% of the models in the collection, suited to a terrace where you dine. This general guide applies outdoors: the higher the kelvin value, the whiter the light appears, even bluish above 5000 K.
How to install and care for a steel outdoor light?
Install the wall light away from direct water spray zones and fix the floor model on a stable surface. For care, a soft cloth with soapy water is enough, without abrasive products. Check that the IP65 seal stays in place. The warranty is five years on most of the selection and two years on one reference.
How to fix a steel outdoor wall light?
Mark the height before drilling: a wall light is generally installed between 1.80 m and 2.20 m to light a wall without glare, lower if it marks a passage. The models in the collection are compact, 7 cm wide for Bivira, Extara and Sylvander, which leaves the choice of location. Cut the power at the panel before connecting.
What care for an IP65 outdoor light?
IP65 protects against water spray and dust, not immersion. Clean with soapy water, rinse without a high-pressure jet and dry. Check the seal and fixing screws once a year, especially by the sea. A fixture installed indoors requires the same care, as design light for bathroom reminds us.
Modern, vintage or original lights: which style to choose for outdoors?
This collection is contemporary in style, with tube shapes and black or white finishes. Models such as Bivira, Extara or Sylvander play on the fine line, while Dyla adopts a wider format in metal and glass. Vintage is not represented here, but black steel can match a modern exterior.
Original decorative lights: how to integrate them?
The graphic line comes from the angled tubes and gold details. Sylvander with gold lens and Cassio play on this contrast between matte black and brass. Place them on a plain wall, away from another light point, so the shape reads clearly. For indoors, the same vein can be found in original lights.
Modern steel lights: which models?
Dyla in metal and glass is the widest reference, available in black and white, with a G4 socket that leaves the choice of bulb. Bivira and Extara remain the most discreet. The contemporary style covers the whole selection, which simplifies matching several light points on the same facade.
Can a steel outdoor light be used for a toilet or a kitchen?
A steel outdoor light with IP65 can technically be installed in a damp room such as a toilet or a kitchen, as it resists spray. However, these models are designed for outdoors and their contemporary black tube style fits best on a terrace or a facade.
Toilet lights: what indoor alternatives?
In a toilet, a compact warm white model avoids glare. Extara or Sylvander, at 2 W, remain small and discreet above a washbasin. If you are looking for a solution designed for the room, see toilet lights and recessed lights, easier to align on the ceiling.
Kitchen lights: which steel model?
In a kitchen, steel makes cleaning easier and the IP65 rating withstands spray. Vectra, at 4 W, or Cassio, at 2 W, can light a splashback or a worktop. For strictly indoor use, compare with modern kitchen light and design lights for kitchen, designed for these rooms.
Where to buy lights in Lyon, in store or online?
To find lights in Lyon, you can compare in store then order online. Designix offers a selection of steel outdoor lights with secure payment, tracked delivery and customer service. The Lyon lights clearance corresponds to the models available in our online catalogue, while stocks last.
Lyon lights store: how to check availability?
A physical point of sale lets you see the light for real, but its stock depends on deliveries. Online, the product page shows what is available and the collection grid displays the current price. You can browse our selection of lights before comparing with a store.
Lyon lights clearance: how to benefit?
Clearance corresponds to references still in stock, whose quantities drop as orders come in. Check regularly modern outdoor lights and design lights for living room: the remaining models stay visible there until sold out. Tracked delivery applies everywhere in France.
One last marker before ordering: measure the distance between your fixing point and the area to light. A wall light projects far on a bare wall, a floor model lights more towards the ground. This criterion separates Bivira, Extara, Sylvander and black pendant lights better than a comparison of styles.

Frequently asked questions
Toilet lights: what to choose?
For a toilet, a steel outdoor light with IP65 can work as it resists humidity and spray. Choose a compact model such as Extara or Sylvander, in warm white, and avoid floor models. Check that the LED socket matches your installation.
Kitchen lights: which steel models?
In a kitchen, steel and IP65 make cleaning easier and resist spray. A model such as Vectra or Cassio, at 2 W or 4 W, lights a worktop or a splashback. For strictly indoor use, compare with the kitchen light collections.
Original decorative lights: how to integrate them outdoors?
To integrate original decorative lights outdoors, focus on tube shapes and black or gold finishes. Bivira, with its two outputs, or Cassio, with its gold reflector, bring a graphic line. Install them on a facade wall or a sheltered terrace.
Modern steel lights: which models for a terrace?
The modern steel lights in this collection are contemporary, tube-shaped and black or white. For a terrace, choose a wall light such as Bivira or Extara, or a floor model such as Vectra. The warm white temperature creates an ambient light.
Vintage lights: are there steel models?
The vintage style is not represented in this collection, which is contemporary. If you are looking for vintage lights, you need to look at other selections. However, the black steel and tube shapes of Sylvander or Dyla can match an exterior with an industrial style.
