Brick In The Wall Pixo Outdoor Ceiling Light

Specifying recessed lighting for a covered outdoor ceiling — a soffit, a pergola underside, an entrance canopy — brings a familiar problem: most architectural downlights are designed for interiors. Get the IP rating wrong and moisture ingress becomes a very expensive lesson.

For outdoor ceiling installations, IP54 is the minimum you need for a covered but exposed location. It means the fixture is protected against dust and water splashing from any direction — enough for soffits and sheltered overhangs, where full weatherproofing is not required but some moisture resistance is essential. Pair that with a high CRI (Colour Rendering Index, a measure of how accurately a light source renders colours compared to natural daylight — 92 is excellent), and you get outdoor light that actually flatters the materials and planting around it.

The Brick In The Wall Pixo Outdoor Ceiling Light is a recessed downlight built from plaster or ceramic, designed to sit flush within a ceiling or soffit plane. Its square stepped trim — concentric architectural ridges framing a central circular aperture — gives it a quietly classical detail that integrates naturally into rendered or plastered ceilings. Because the body is plaster or ceramic, it can be painted to match the ceiling surface exactly, allowing the fixture to disappear into the architecture rather than announce itself.

The Pixo is available in two colour temperatures: 2700K for a warmer, more amber-toned light that suits relaxed outdoor dining and living spaces, or 3000K for a slightly crisper white that works well in entrance areas and covered terraces where clarity matters as much as ambience. The choice is yours at the point of specification — both deliver the same CRI 92 performance.

Installation is into a pre-cut ceiling or soffit opening. The recessed design keeps the light source set back from the ceiling plane, which reduces direct glare — important when the fitting is overhead in a space where people spend time. Confirm driver requirements, cut-out dimensions, and recess depth with your installer before ordering; these details are not included in the current data but are critical to a clean installation.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we help you resolve exactly these specification decisions before anything gets ordered. The Pixo sits within a curated portfolio of architectural outdoor lighting chosen for design integrity and real-world performance. We work through the technical detail — driver compatibility, cut-out sizing, zone suitability — so your project moves forward without expensive surprises on site.
