This robust and durable LED bulkhead luminaire is designed for both interior and exterior surface mounting, providing a compact yet high-performance lighting solution for industrial, commercial, and public amenity environments. Constructed from rugged cast aluminium, the luminaire is finished in white and features a vandal-resistant opal polycarbonate diffuser secured with tamper-proof screws. The combination of durable materials and impact-resistant design ensures a long operational life, while the compact form factor allows for easy handling, transportation, and installation, even in challenging applications such as manufacturing, logistics, and wayfinding.
The bulkhead is fully sealed to IP65, offering protection against dust and water ingress, and is rated IK10 for superior impact resistance. It delivers high efficiency, with luminous efficacy reaching up to 129 lm/W, while maintaining a low-profile and unobtrusive appearance. Available with selectable lumen outputs of 800 or 1000 lumens, the luminaire can also be supplied with DALI dimming options or integrated emergency lighting to suit a range of operational requirements. An optional microwave presence sensor further enhances its adaptability, while smart connectivity via Bluetooth® mesh technology using basicDIM modules enables wireless communication between luminaires for advanced networked control.
Installation is straightforward, with direct wall or ceiling mounting facilitated by pre-drilled rear mounting points and cable entry holes. The luminaire features a Ø20 mm cable entry at either end and a three-way terminal block with 2 × 2.5 mm² capacity, ensuring secure electrical connections. Rubber grommets seal cable entries to maintain the IP65 rating, and the installer is advised to use high-quality cable glands rated to IP66 or higher to preserve the luminaire’s integrity. Escort is supplied ready for quick mounting, with all components delivered in one unit to simplify installation.
Escort’s compact size does not compromise its performance. With long life rated at 72,000 hours at L80, it provides reliable, energy-efficient illumination in demanding settings. Its versatile design supports a range of applications, from industrial halls and warehouses to outdoor pathways and utility areas. Optional wireless connectivity allows the luminaire to integrate seamlessly into intelligent lighting systems, enabling centralized control, energy management, and presence-based operation to enhance safety, comfort, and efficiency. Available lumen outputs of 800, 1000, or switchable 800/1000 lm provide flexible lighting solutions tailored to specific project needs, making Escort an ideal choice for robust, high-efficiency, and future-ready outdoor and indoor wall-mounted LED lighting.
