Product Description
STEINEL L 12 S is a silver outdoor wall light with an E27 socket and opal plastic diffuser. It suits entrances, terraces, balconies and paths alongside a building. The integrated 180° motion sensor switches the light on when it detects movement and ambient brightness is below the chosen twilight threshold.
Choose your own bulb and light colour
One E27 bulb is sold separately and can be replaced by the user. The manufacturer permits an incandescent bulb up to 60 W or an LED / energy-saving bulb up to 20 W. For an LED bulb, observe its actual wattage rather than the equivalent incandescent wattage printed on its packaging.
Luminous flux, colour temperature and colour rendering depend on the chosen bulb. You can therefore adapt brightness and light colour to an entrance or seating area. The fitting without a bulb has no fixed lumen or kelvin value, and replacing the bulb does not require replacing the luminaire.
Motion detection and adjustment
The 180° PIR sensor responds to heat radiation from moving people or animals. Reach is up to 10 m across the detection zone and up to 3 m when approaching directly. Position the light to the side of the usual direction of travel for the best detection. The specified optimum mounting height is 2 m, with a maximum of 3 m.
The 5 sec–35 min time setting determines how long the light stays on after the last detected movement; a new detection restarts the timer. The 2–1000 lx twilight threshold determines how dark it must be before the sensor is allowed to switch the light on. Both settings are adjusted using controls on the light.
The sensor can be tilted vertically through 90° to adjust detection reach within approximately 2–10 m. The included masking stickers screen out unwanted detection directions, such as a nearby pavement or neighbouring property. A sneak-by guard also detects movement directly below the light. Walls, glass and other obstacles restrict PIR detection of heat radiation.
Housing for an outdoor wall
The aluminium housing is combined with a UV-resistant opal plastic diffuser. IP44 provides protection against water splashes and solid objects of at least 1 mm, useful for a light mounted on an outdoor wall. IK03 describes tested resistance to mechanical impact.
Dimensions, installation and additional information
Dimensions and connection
Dimensions 108 × 155 × 272 mm (depth × width × height), net weight 700 g. Supply 230–240 V AC, 50 Hz. Electrical protection class II means double or reinforced insulation; mount on a wall following the instructions for this exact model. The supply lead can enter from the wall or run along the wall surface. Operating temperature −20 to +40 °C.
Sensor operation
Sensor standby power is 0.55 W; this is separate from the connected bulb wattage. Each light operates with its own sensor; manufacturer-supported light interconnection is not available. There is no Bluetooth or app control. A basic light level between detections is not provided.
Package contents and care
One luminaire with motion sensor, mounting accessories and instructions, plus sensor masking stickers. The E27 bulb is not included. Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth without aggressive cleaning agents. 3-year manufacturer warranty under its terms.
