LED site bulkhead lights rated to IP65 and IK08 for use on construction hoardings, scaffold structures, and site perimeters requiring red warning illumination. This fitting runs on both 110V site supply and standard 240V mains, covering the full range of site electrical configurations without needing a separate product for each voltage. Class II double insulated construction means no earth connection is required, which simplifies installation on sites where earthing provision is restricted or absent.
Why dual voltage matters for site electrical installations
Most site-grade bulkhead lights are specified for either 110V or 240V, which causes problems when a project runs both voltage types simultaneously. An electrician fitting lighting across a mixed-supply site has to source two separate products, manage two stock lines, and carry both to site. A 110-240V rated fitting removes that duplication. One product covers both voltage environments without any modification.
Key Features
-
Dual voltage 110-240V: Connects to a 110V site transformer supply or a standard 240V mains circuit without modification. One fitting is suitable for any site electrical configuration within that range.
-
IP65 weatherproof rating: Full protection against dust ingress and sustained low-pressure water jets from any direction. Suitable for permanent outdoor installation on hoardings and scaffold exposed to all UK weather conditions.
-
IK08 impact resistance: The polycarbonate housing withstands significant mechanical impact. IK08 is a meaningful step above standard outdoor bulkheads and is appropriate for live construction sites where accidental contact is routine.
-
50,000-hour LED lifetime: Tested to L70B50. At typical site usage rates this represents years of service before output degrades. The LEDs and driver are replaceable at end of life by a competent professional, extending the fixture's serviceable life further.
-
Class II double insulated: No earth conductor is required or should be connected. This reduces installation complexity and eliminates one of the most common wiring errors on site electrical circuits.
-
UKCA and CE approved: Approved for UK and European markets. Comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Who is this for
Site electricians and electrical contractors specifying permanent or semi-permanent lighting for hoardings, scaffold, and site welfare areas are the primary buyers. The dual voltage range makes this fitting particularly useful for contractors who work across multiple sites with different supply configurations, or who are fitting out a site where both 110V and 240V circuits are present. Site managers specifying hoarding lighting to meet Highways Act obligations are the other key audience, particularly where a mains-connected fitting is preferred over a battery alternative.
Typical applications
-
Mounted on construction hoardings alongside public highways to meet the lighting requirement of the Highways Act 1980, Section 172(3)(c).
-
Fitted to scaffold structures as permanent weatherproof illumination for external site areas and work at height.
-
General area lighting in welfare units, site offices, and compound buildings where an IP65-rated wall fitting is needed.
-
Corridor and access route lighting within partially enclosed or covered construction structures.
-
Sites with mixed 110V and 240V electrical infrastructure where one standardised fitting needs to cover both supply types.
-
Plant rooms and temporary buildings requiring an impact-resistant weatherproof wall fitting.
How to use
Step 1: Isolate the circuit supply before starting. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in compliance with the current edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671).
Step 2: Select the installation position. Check for obstructions, concealed pipes, and cables before drilling.
Step 3: Remove the diffuser by loosening the retaining screws. Loosen the retaining screws on the gear tray and remove it from the body.
Step 4: Select a cable entry point on the back or sides of the base and drill through.
Step 5: Feed the supply cable through the entry point. Seal using the blind grommet supplied or a suitable cable gland to maintain the IP65 rating.
Step 6: Fix the base to the mounting surface using the four fixing screws and wall plugs provided.
Step 7: Terminate the supply cable into the terminal block on the rear of the gear tray. This is a Class II double insulated fitting. No earth connection is required.
Step 8: Replace the gear tray and tighten the retaining screws.
Step 9: Replace the diffuser and tighten the retaining screws. Confirm no cables are trapped before fully tightening.
Step 10: Restore the power supply and confirm correct operation.
Common mistakes
-
Failing to seal the cable entry: the IP65 rating is only maintained when the cable entry is properly sealed with the supplied grommet or a suitable cable gland. An unsealed entry allows moisture ingress and effectively voids the IP rating in practice.
-
Connecting an earth conductor: this is a Class II double insulated fitting. No earth connection is required. Attempting to connect one is incorrect and does not improve safety.
-
Trapping cables behind the diffuser: cables trapped between the gear tray and diffuser during reassembly can cause insulation damage over time. Confirm cable routing is clear before tightening.
-
Exceeding the maximum fittings per circuit: the number of fittings permitted on one circuit depends on the breaker type and cable size. Refer to the maximum fittings table in the installation instructions before finalising the circuit design.
Safety
Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in compliance with BS7671. Isolate the circuit supply fully before installation or any maintenance. Confirm the total load on the circuit does not exceed the rating of the cable, fuse, or circuit breaker. The LED and driver can be replaced at end of life, but this must be carried out by a competent professional with the supply isolated. Long-term voltage fluctuations can reduce the service life of the fitting. Ensure supply voltage remains within the 110-240V rated range.
Maintenance
Clean the polycarbonate housing and diffuser with a dry or lightly damp cloth. In environments with dust, paint, welding fumes, or oil contamination, clean the diffuser more frequently to maintain light output. Do not use solvents, aggressive detergents, or abrasive materials. The LEDs and driver are replaceable at end of life by a competent professional with the supply isolated. At end of life, recycle through your local authority or an appropriate WEEE scheme.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does Class II double insulated mean and do I need to connect an earth?
A: Class II means the fitting has two independent layers of insulation between live parts and the outer housing. It does not rely on an earth connection for electrical safety. No earth conductor is required or should be connected to this fitting. This simplifies installation on sites where earthing provision is limited or on circuits where an earth conductor is absent.
Q: How does the 110-240V dual voltage work in practice?
A: The fitting accepts any supply between 110V and 240V without modification. Connect it to a 110V site transformer supply or a standard 240V mains circuit and it operates correctly in both cases. No adapters, switches, or rewiring are needed between voltage environments. For contractors managing lighting across multiple sites with different supply configurations, this eliminates the need to stock and specify separate products for each voltage type.
Q: What is this light NOT suitable for?
A: The red diffuser filters the output to a red warning light. It is not appropriate as a primary working light where white illumination is needed for task work, reading, or colour identification. It must not be connected to supplies outside the 110-240V rated range. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician. This is not a plug-in consumer fitting.
Q: How does IP65 differ from IP44 in a site hoarding context?
A: IP44 covers water splashes from any direction and solid objects above 1mm in diameter. IP65 adds full dust ingress protection and resistance to sustained low-pressure water jets from any direction. For a fitting permanently mounted on an outdoor hoarding through a UK winter, the difference is meaningful. IP65 provides significantly more reliable protection against driving rain, standing water splash, and the dust and debris common on active construction sites.
Q: How many fittings can I connect on one circuit?
A: The maximum number of fittings per circuit depends on the breaker type and cable cross-section. On a B16 breaker with 1.5mm cable, up to 32 fittings can be connected. On a B6 breaker with 1.5mm cable, the limit is 12. The full maximum fittings per circuit table is included in the installation instructions supplied with the product and should be consulted before finalising circuit design.
Q: Can the LED be replaced when it eventually reaches end of life?
A: Yes. Unlike many integrated LED fittings, the LEDs and driver in this product are designed to be replaced at end of life. Replacement must be carried out by a competent professional with the circuit supply fully isolated. This is an advantage over fixed integrated alternatives, as it means the fixture body and housing can continue in service beyond the initial LED lifetime.
Q: Does this fitting meet the Highways Act lighting requirement for site hoardings?
A: This fitting is designed for hoarding and scaffold use and provides red warning illumination for night-time visibility. The Highways Act 1980, Section 172(3)(c) requires hoardings alongside highways to be sufficiently lit during hours of darkness. A mains-connected fitting of this type requires a permanent power supply to the hoarding. Where mains connection is not available or practical, the battery-powered hoarding light (EL060004) is the appropriate alternative.
