Silfa IP54 Outdoor Wall Light

Aluminium

Care Requirement - Regular maintenance and scratch protection 

Cleaning Guide - Metal surfaces should be cleaned every 1–2 weeks to maintain their finish and prevent dust or residue build-up. Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust and fingerprints. For stains or signs of tarnish, use a metal cleaner suitable for the specific finish, applying it carefully to restore the surface without causing damage. 

Placement Guide - Metal finishes should be positioned in areas with medium sunlight exposure, with indirect light preferred, as prolonged direct sunlight can cause surfaces to heat up and potentially discolour over time. These materials have moderate tolerance to saltwater environments, however regular exposure may accelerate wear if not maintained. Metals can generally withstand higher proximity to heat sources, making them suitable for a range of interior applications. They also perform well in higher humidity environments, though proper ventilation is recommended to minimise the risk of corrosion over time. Repositioning is not required, as metals maintain their form and structure in place. 

Deep Cleaning Guide - Metal finishes should be deep cleaned every 6 months or as needed to maintain their appearance and longevity. For iron and aluminium, use a mild soap solution with warm water and a soft cloth to gently wipe down the surface. For stainless steel, apply a dedicated stainless steel cleaner to remove smudges, then polish with a microfibre cloth, always wiping in the direction of the grain to preserve the finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia or solvent-based cleaners, as well as abrasive materials like steel wool, which can damage the surface. Refrain from harsh scrubbing or forceful cleaning, particularly on delicate finishes, and do not expose metals to solvents, oils or petroleum-based products. DIY cleaning methods such as vinegar or baking soda should also be avoided, as they may compromise the integrity of the finish. 

Glass

Care Requirement - Fragile, Non-Abrasive Cleaning 

Cleaning Guide - Glass and acrylic surfaces should be cleaned monthly to maintain clarity and prevent residue build-up. Gently wipe with a microfibre cloth and mild soap to remove dust and marks. For stains, use mild soap with warm water, cleaning carefully to avoid scratching delicate surfaces. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia or solvent-based cleaners, as well as abrasive materials like steel wool, which can damage or dull the finish. Refrain from harsh scrubbing or forceful cleaning, and do not expose surfaces to solvents, oils or petroleum-based products. DIY cleaning methods such as vinegar or baking soda should also be avoided to preserve the integrity of the material. 

Placement Guide - Glass and acrylic products can be placed in a range of environments, with glass being fully UV stable and non-porous, making it highly resistant to sunlight exposure. However, acrylic components are more sensitive and can be susceptible to fading or deterioration with prolonged direct sunlight, so indirect light is recommended where possible. These materials have a high tolerance to saltwater environments and perform well in high humidity conditions. They can withstand moderate proximity to heat sources, though excessive heat should be avoided to prevent potential warping in acrylic. Repositioning is not required, as both materials maintain their structure and finish when properly placed.
