What are LED bulkhead wall lights, and how do they differ from traditional wall lights?
Bulkhead lights are designed to be mounted on the exterior of a building, Bulkhead outdoor lighting is designed to be sturdy and robust, it’s just a bonus that it’s a style icon among outdoor lights. Bulkhead lighting is designed in a way that the cage effect outer piece connects the light casing to the wall and is extra protective of the light itself.

They’re well on their way to being indestructible so you can always count on their especially bright beam of light when you need it.
