FAQs
Is this light suitable for fully exposed outdoor areas?
The DP7238/GA/1ES/IP44 model is rated IP44, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. It is suitable for covered outdoor areas but not for direct exposure to heavy rain or immersion.
What type of bulb should I use?
This fixture is LED compatible. You should use an LED bulb that meets the maximum wattage specification for the fixture, which can be found in the product's technical details. For dimming, ensure the LED bulb is also labeled as 'dimmable'.
Do I need a special dimmer switch?
Yes, to achieve dimming functionality, you will need to use a compatible dimmer switch and dimmable LED bulbs. Standard on/off switches will not allow for dimming.
Where is this light manufactured?
This Davey Lighting product is manufactured in their Birmingham metalworks in the UK.
Can I replace the galvanised guard if it gets damaged?
Replacement parts may be available through Davey Lighting or authorised distributors. Contact Davey Lighting customer support for information on replacement guards.
What is the difference between this IP44 model and the standard model?
The standard model (e.g., DP7238/GA/1ES) typically has an IP20 rating, making it suitable for dry indoor environments only. The IP44 model has enhanced protection against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for damp or sheltered outdoor locations.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Ensure the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify the bulb is correctly seated and functioning. Confirm all wiring connections are secure as per the installation manual.
Light flickers or dims inconsistently.
Check that you are using dimmable LED bulbs with a compatible dimmer switch. Ensure the bulb is screwed in properly. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.
