What Does ES Mean?
ES stands for Edison Screw, a commonly used screw-type lamp holder.
Before purchasing a globe for the Ausma ES Black IP65 Bulkhead, confirm the exact Edison Screw fitting size specified by the manufacturer. Where compatible, an LED globe can provide an efficient option for everyday lighting.
Always remain within the maximum permitted lamp wattage stated on the fitting.
IP65 Protection
A key feature of this bulkhead is its IP65 rating.
An IP65-rated enclosure is rated as:
- Dust-tight
- Protected against water jets from applicable directions under the standard test conditions
This makes IP65 fittings useful for many exterior and exposed environments. However, IP65 does not mean the fitting is designed for submersion in water.
Correct installation and sealing are essential for maintaining the intended IP protection.

Its understated appearance allows the bulkhead to provide functional lighting without becoming an overly dominant decorative feature.
Choosing a Globe
Where a replaceable globe is required, select a compatible ES globe while remaining within the fitting’s maximum permitted wattage.
LED globes can offer good energy efficiency and are available in different colour temperatures.
Consider:
- Warm white for a softer atmosphere
- Neutral white for balanced general lighting
- Cool white for brighter utility areas
Check the globe dimensions as well, as it must physically fit inside the bulkhead enclosure.
Installation
Fixed electrical lighting should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable electrical requirements.
Before installation:
- Isolate the electrical supply.
- Confirm the supply voltage.
- Check the mounting orientation.
- Use suitable electrical connections.
- Maintain the seals required for IP65 protection.
- Confirm the maximum globe wattage.
- Secure the fitting firmly to the mounting surface.
- Ensure cable-entry points are correctly sealed.
For fixed electrical work, installation by a suitably qualified electrician is recommended where required.
Maintaining the IP65 Rating
The IP rating depends on the fitting being assembled and installed correctly.
Damaged seals, incorrectly fitted covers or poorly sealed cable-entry points may reduce protection against moisture and dust.
Periodically inspect the fitting for:
- Damaged seals
- Loose covers
- Cracks
- Water ingress
- Damaged cable entries
- Corrosion
- Loose mounting components
Replace damaged components according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Care and Maintenance
Switch off and isolate the electrical supply before cleaning or replacing the globe.
Allow the globe to cool before opening the fitting. Clean accessible exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive products that could damage the black finish.
Ensure the cover and seals are correctly repositioned before restoring power.
