Turbo 18 Finned Outdoor Cylinder by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

/
Turbo 18 is a finned cylinder that throws geometric patterns of light.
The Design Story
Sean Lavin ringed Turbo with evenly spaced fins.
The LED in its crown turns them into shapes of light and shadow.
Why You'll Love It
It is playful and architectural, especially in a row.
Made for Real Life
There are no bulbs to change: the LED is built in. Give it a rinse with mild soapy water now and then to keep the finish fresh. It can be mounted at three heights relative to its backplate. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV or 0-10V dimmer for evening light.

Questions We Hear Most
What is the idea behind the Turbo 18?
Sean Lavin designed it so that it is a finned cylinder that throws geometric patterns of light. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Turbo family.
Which Turbo 18 finish suits my exterior?
Our take: black gives a crisp, graphic outline; bronze is rich and moody; charcoal is a softer alternative to black.
Will the Turbo 18 light up my front entry?
Yes, at about 598 lumens it gives an entry a warm, welcoming glow.
Which doors and walls suit the Turbo 18?
At 18″ it suits side doors, garages and porches, or a front door with one on each side.
Can the Turbo 18 handle storms and sprinklers?
Yes. It is wet listed (IP65), so it can live fully in the open, rain or shine.
What does surge protection add to the Turbo 18?
An extra device that shields the LED driver from power spikes, whether from storms or the grid.
How is the Turbo 18 installed outside?
It is hardwired to an outdoor-rated junction box by an electrician. It can be mounted at three heights relative to its backplate.
How soon can the Turbo 18 arrive?
