HIDALGO LE42865 is a linear wall light: a white aluminium profile 90.5 cm long, cut across at its midpoint by a square mounting plate. A silicone light-emitting edge runs the full length of the profile, and the light comes out through it.
How big it is and where to hang it
The profile is 90.5 cm long and 1.6 cm thick, and the whole fitting stands 6.9 cm off the wall — that is the clearance to leave for walking past if it hangs in a narrow hallway. With the plate, the fitting measures 11.8 cm high.
The square plate is 14.6 cm on a side and covers a standard back box. The fitting weighs 1 kg, so the fixing depends more on the type of wall than on the weight of the body itself.
How much light it gives and of what kind
The built-in LED module draws 21 W and delivers 1200 lm — half as much again as an old 60 W incandescent bulb. Spread along a metre of wall, that is light you can read by rather than a decorative wash.
The 3000 K colour is warm white: warmer than daylight, without a pronounced yellow cast. The manufacturer provides no dimming, so the fitting always runs at full output and will not work with a dimmer.
The light source is built into the profile and has no cap — when the LEDs reach the end of their life, the whole fitting is replaced. No bulb has to be bought separately.
Build and the other variants in the series
The profile and the plate are aluminium, the light-emitting element is silicone — it spreads the light along the whole length instead of leaving individual LED points visible. The surface is uniformly white, with no ornament and no visible joins.
The HIDALGO series runs three lengths: 60.5 cm at 12.5 W, this 90.5 cm model at 21 W, and 120.5 cm at 28.5 W. The shorter and the longer version also come in black, and all of them light at the same 3000 K.
