110-240V LED site bulkhead with opal diffuser, delivering 800lm of 5700K cool daylight-white working light across a dual voltage range of 110V to 240V. At 100 lm/W, the efficacy is significantly higher than standard site bulkheads of the same wattage, making it well suited to welfare units, site offices, plant rooms, and any enclosed site space where adequate working illumination matters. IP65 and IK08 rated, Class II double insulated, with a replaceable LED and driver rated at 50,000 hours.
Why 100 lm/W efficacy matters more than wattage alone
Many site bulkheads in the 8W class draw the same power but deliver far less output, producing 400 to 500lm in practice from a fitting that consumes just as much electricity. When multiple lights are needed to reach adequate illumination in a welfare unit or site office, the cost and installation effort of additional fittings quickly adds up. At 100 lm/W, this fitting delivers 800lm from 8W, twice the output of a standard competitor at the same wattage, with no additional power draw, cable run, or fixing point required.
Key Features
-
800lm at 100 lm/W efficacy: Twice the light output of many equivalent-wattage site bulkheads. Fewer fittings are needed to achieve adequate illumination across welfare areas and site offices, reducing installation cost.
-
5700K cool daylight white, Ra>80: Cool white output that closely matches natural daylight. Ra>80 colour rendering gives adequate colour discrimination for inspection work, reading safety signs, and general site tasks.
-
Dual voltage 110-240V: Connects to 110V site supply or standard 240V mains without modification. One product covers the full range of site electrical configurations.
-
IP65 and IK08 rated: Fully weatherproof and impact resistant. Suitable for outdoor covered areas, scaffold structures, and internal spaces exposed to construction site dust and debris.
-
Class II double insulated: No earth conductor required. Reduces installation complexity and eliminates a common wiring error on site electrical circuits.
-
Replaceable LED and driver: Unlike fixed integrated alternatives, the LEDs and driver can be replaced at end of life by a competent professional, extending the fixture's serviceable life.
-
3-year warranty: Longer than the standard 2-year cover offered on many comparable site bulkheads.

Who is this for
Site electricians and M&E contractors fitting out welfare units, site offices, corridors, and enclosed site spaces with working light are the primary buyers. Unlike the red diffuser variant (EL060012), this opal version produces white working light. It is suited wherever people are carrying out tasks, reading, inspecting, or moving through site spaces, rather than where a red warning light is needed on a public-facing hoarding or perimeter.
Typical applications
-
Welfare unit kitchens, rest areas, and drying rooms on construction sites where adequate task lighting is a health and safety requirement.
-
Site offices, manager's cabins, and temporary buildings where workers read documents, use computers, or hold briefings.
-
Internal corridor and stairwell lighting within partially constructed buildings before permanent lighting is installed.
-
Plant rooms and building services areas where M&E engineers need clear white light for installation, inspection, and commissioning work.
-
Scaffold structures and covered external areas where IP65 protection is required against weather.
-
Mixed-use site lighting circuits where this opal fitting provides working light and the red diffuser variant (EL060012) provides hoarding warning light on the same supply.
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.
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 supplied grommet 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. No earth connection is required. This is a Class II double insulated fitting.
Step 8: Replace the gear tray and tighten the retaining screws.
Step 9: Replace the opal 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
-
Leaving the cable entry unsealed: the IP65 rating depends on the entry being sealed with the supplied grommet or a suitable cable gland. An unsealed hole allows moisture and dust ingress, reducing both protection and service life.
-
Connecting an earth conductor: Class II double insulated fittings do not require or use an earth connection. Attempting to connect one is incorrect.
-
Using this fitting where a red warning light is required: the opal diffuser produces white working light. For hoarding warning lights compliant with the Highways Act 1980, specify the red diffuser version (EL060012) instead.
-
Exceeding the maximum fittings per circuit: refer to the fittings per circuit 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 starting any work. Confirm the total circuit load does not exceed the cable, fuse, or breaker rating before energising. The LED and driver can be replaced at end of life by a competent professional only. At end of life, recycle through local authority or an appropriate WEEE scheme.
Maintenance
Clean the opal polycarbonate diffuser regularly to maintain maximum light output, particularly in dusty environments such as those involving cement, plasterboard, or paint. Use a dry or lightly damp cloth only. Solvents, aggressive detergents, and abrasives degrade the polycarbonate surface. The LEDs and driver are replaceable at end of life by a competent professional with the supply isolated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the opal and red diffuser versions of this bulkhead?
A: The opal diffuser (EL060010) produces 800lm of 5700K white working light. It is a general-purpose site illumination fitting for welfare units, offices, corridors, and enclosed site spaces. The red diffuser version (EL060012) produces 190lm of red warning output and is used for hoarding and scaffold compliance lighting, including meeting the Highways Act 1980 obligation to light hoardings during hours of darkness. Both share the same housing, voltage range, IP65 and IK08 ratings, and installation process.
Q: What does 100 lm/W efficacy mean and why does it matter?
A: Efficacy is the amount of light produced per watt of electricity consumed. At 100 lm/W, this fitting delivers 800lm from just 8W. Many site bulkheads at 8W achieve 50 to 60 lm/W and produce 400 to 500lm. The difference is not marginal: a welfare unit that needs six of those lower-efficacy fittings to feel adequately lit may need only three or four of these. That is fewer cable runs, fewer installation points, and lower energy consumption over the project duration.
Q: What is this fitting NOT suitable for?
A: The opal diffuser produces white light. It is not suitable as a hoarding warning light where red output is required for Highways Act compliance. It must not be connected to supplies outside the 110-240V rated range. Installation without a qualified electrician is not permitted. For tasks requiring colour rendering above Ra>80, such as high-accuracy finishing or colour-matching work, a higher-CRI fitting should be specified.
Q: What does 5700K colour temperature mean for people working in the space?
A: 5700K is a cool daylight white, close to natural outdoor light on a clear day. In a welfare unit, site office, or plant room, it produces a bright, neutral environment that reduces eye fatigue compared to warmer or yellower alternatives. It also makes safety signs, labels, and printed documents easier to read than a warmer tone would. For general site working areas, 5700K is the appropriate choice.
Q: How does Class II installation simplify fitting this bulkhead on a site circuit?
A: Class II double insulated means the fitting has two independent layers of insulation between live parts and the outer housing. No earth conductor is required. On site circuits where an earth is not always present or where earthing provision is restricted, this removes one connection and one potential point of error during installation, and eliminates any need to verify earth continuity for this fitting.
Q: Can the LED be replaced when it eventually reaches end of life?
A: Yes. The LEDs and driver are designed to be replaced at end of life by a competent professional with the circuit supply fully isolated. This is an advantage over fully integrated alternatives and means the polycarbonate housing and body can remain in service beyond the initial 50,000-hour LED rating.
Q: Does this fitting work on both 110V and 240V without modification?
A: Yes. The 110-240V dual voltage range covers both a standard 110V site transformer supply and a standard 240V mains circuit. No adapter, jumper link, or rewiring is required between the two voltage environments. The same fitting serves the full range of site electrical configurations.
