Description

Red Arrow TAO5 Taurus IP65 LED Bulkhead

Not every outdoor lighting project needs a large, high-output fitting.

Sometimes the best solution is reliable, low-maintenance lighting that simply works every day without drawing attention to itself.

The Red Arrow Taurus TAO5 has been designed specifically for amenity lighting applications where safety, durability and efficiency matter more than excessive brightness. Its compact profile makes it ideal for entrances, pathways, side access routes, bin stores, service areas and communal residential spaces.

Unlike older fluorescent bulkheads that require regular lamp replacements and consume unnecessary energy, the Taurus uses an integrated 5W LED light source to provide consistent illumination while significantly reducing maintenance requirements.

The robust polycarbonate housing is rated IP65 for protection against rain, dust and outdoor environments, while the IK08 impact rating helps protect against accidental knocks and vandalism in public-facing locations.

Its discreet appearance makes it particularly popular for apartment blocks, housing developments, schools and commercial premises where lighting should blend into the building rather than dominate it.

Suitable for both wall and ceiling mounting, the Taurus offers a simple and cost-effective solution for everyday exterior lighting applications.

FAQ's

Is a bulkhead light better than a floodlight for entrances?

For most entrances, yes. Floodlights are designed to illuminate large areas and can create unnecessary glare. Bulkheads provide softer, more controlled illumination that improves visibility without overwhelming the surrounding environment.

Can an IP65 bulkhead be installed outdoors all year round?

Yes. IP65 protection means the fitting is protected against dust ingress and water jets, making it suitable for long-term outdoor installation in exposed environments.

Why are housing associations replacing fluorescent bulkheads with LED bulkheads?

The main reasons are lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance, longer operating life and improved reliability. LED bulkheads eliminate lamp changes and control gear failures associated with older fluorescent fittings.
