AVISIO is a spherical outdoor wall light in matt white aluminium. Four round openings in the body let the light out in four directions — up, down and to both sides. The four LEDs are built in and come with the fitting, so there are no bulbs to buy.
Size and wall mounting
The sphere is 10 cm across and 10.5 cm high including the rims of the openings. It projects only 7.5 cm from the wall — the figure to compare with the space beside a door, a window or a downpipe. The light weighs 385 g.
A round mounting plate with a connection box is screwed to the wall, and the sphere is fitted onto it and locked from below with a small Allen screw. The light is protection class I, so it needs an earth conductor: the connection takes three wires — live, neutral and earth. The LED driver is built in, so the light connects directly to the 230 V mains.
How much light and what kind
Each of the four LEDs is rated at 2 W and 250 lm, which adds up to 8 W and 1000 lm from the sources. Because the light leaves only through the four openings, the fitting draws a pattern of bright beams up, down and sideways across the wall. It brings out the texture and shape of a facade rather than lighting the ground in front of the house evenly.
The 3000 K colour temperature is a warm white, and CRI 80 renders plaster and plants in natural-looking colours, though less faithfully than Ra 90 sources. The LEDs cannot be replaced by the user and the driver is replaced by a service technician; the manufacturer states a 30,000-hour lifetime and energy class E. The light is not dimmable and runs from an ordinary on/off switch.
Outdoor rating and build
The IP54 rating means protection against dust and against splashing water from any direction, so the light can hang on an unroofed wall where rain reaches it. The body is die-cast aluminium in matt white. The plain sphere without ornament gives it a modern look, and the manufacturer designed AVISIO for lighting facades and gardens.
