LED Oval Bulkheads
Our range of LED oval bulkhead lights offers a sleek alternative to traditional round or square fittings, with the same energy efficiency and durability. These discreet and stylish fixtures are ideal for use in hallways, bathrooms, utility rooms, and external walls where a low-profile design is preferred.
Built with a robust polycarbonate casing and IP65-rated protection, these oval LED bulkheads are perfect for outdoor installations and damp indoor environments. While the oval design does not include emergency variants, they still provide reliable, consistent illumination and are a great fit for both residential and light commercial applications. Their understated appearance makes them especially popular in housing associations, sheltered accommodation, and rental properties.
Available from trusted brands like Bright Source and Energizer, these fittings are easy to install, maintenance-free, and offer long-term energy savings when compared to older halogen or fluorescent units.

FAQ's
A: LED oval bulkheads are commonly used in utility spaces, service areas, and exterior installations where robust, low-glare lighting is needed. Their oval shape offers a softer, more compact profile than square or rectangular fittings, making them ideal for locations like plant rooms, storerooms, external walls, garages, and workshops. These fittings are particularly valued in industrial and commercial settings due to their impact-resistant casing, long lifespan, and even light distribution.
They are also frequently installed in residential settings, such as porches, rear entrances, bin stores, and side alleys, where reliable, weatherproof lighting is essential. Most models feature IP65-rated enclosures for protection against rain, dust, and debris, and many include optional sensor or emergency modules for added safety and functionality. Their durable construction and versatile mounting options make LED oval bulkheads a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor environments that require dependable, low-maintenance lighting.
A: Our range of LED oval bulkheads includes models with PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor functionality, designed to enhance energy efficiency by automatically activating the light when motion is detected. These fittings are ideal for areas such as outdoor walkways, porches, side entrances, and bin stores, where lighting is only needed intermittently. The integrated PIR sensor helps reduce electricity usage and extends the lifespan of the fitting, making it a cost-effective choice for domestic and commercial environments.
At present, we do not stock emergency variants in the oval bulkhead shape. If you require emergency lighting for safety compliance in corridors, stairwells, or escape routes, we recommend exploring our range of square, round, or rectangular LED bulkheads, many of which come with integrated battery backup for up to 3 hours of operation during power failure. These options are more suitable where emergency lighting compliance is required under BS 5266-1 or Part B of the Building Regulations.
A: Yes, many of our LED oval bulkheads are specifically designed for outdoor use, with high IP65 ratings that protect against rain, dust, and general weather exposure. Their sealed, durable housings make them ideal for use on external walls, porches, garage exteriors, bin stores, and side alleyways. The robust construction ensures the fittings continue to perform reliably even in wet or exposed environments, without compromising safety or light output.
In addition to being weather-resistant, some models also come with PIR motion sensors, offering added security and energy efficiency for outdoor settings. Their polycarbonate casings are often UV-stabilised to prevent discolouration and maintain a clean appearance over time. When selecting an oval bulkhead for outdoor use, simply look for products marked with a suitable IP rating (IP65 or above) to ensure it is designed to handle external conditions effectively.
A: Yes, oval LED bulkheads are highly energy-efficient, making them a smart choice for both indoor and outdoor lighting applications. By using integrated LED technology, these fittings consume significantly less power — often up to 80% less than traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulkheads, while delivering consistent and reliable illumination. Their low wattage output combined with high lumen efficacy makes them ideal for continuous use in areas such as porches, walkways, and communal service spaces.
Additionally, models equipped with PIR motion sensors enhance energy efficiency by ensuring the light is only active when movement is detected, which is perfect for low-traffic areas. The long operational lifespan (typically 30,000 hours or more) also reduces the need for frequent replacements and maintenance. With their durable build, low energy usage, and sustainable performance, LED oval bulkheads are an excellent solution for reducing running costs while maintaining safe and effective lighting.
