Lyft 12 Diffuser Outdoor Light Bar by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort
Lyft 12 Diffuser Outdoor Light Bar by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort
$899.00
/
Lyft 12 Diffuser is a slim modern bar that lights a wall from both ends.
The Design Story
Lyft is pure geometry: a vertical body with a lens at each end.
A clear lens gives crisp beams; the diffuser softens them.
Why You'll Love It
It is minimal and tough, made for real weather.
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. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV, TRIAC or 0-10V dimmer for evening light.

| Door match | side doors and garages, or a pair at the front door |
|---|---|
| Height | ≈ 66″ to the center |
| Garage | one each side of the door |
| Spacing | every 8–10 ft |
| Depth off the wall | 4.7″ |
Measurements are to the fixture’s center (our math). It is hardwired, so book a licensed electrician.

Questions We Hear Most
What is the idea behind the Lyft 12 Diffuser?
Sean Lavin designed it so that it is a slim modern bar that lights a wall from both ends. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Lyft family, which comes in several sizes and versions.
Which Lyft 12 Diffuser 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 Lyft 12 Diffuser light up my front entry?
Yes, at about 286 lumens it gives an entry a warm, welcoming glow.
Which doors and walls suit the Lyft 12 Diffuser?
At 12.5″ it suits side doors, garages and porches, or a front door with one on each side.
Can the Lyft 12 Diffuser 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 Lyft 12 Diffuser?
An extra device that shields the LED driver from power spikes, whether from storms or the grid. An in-line fuse version is also available for commercial circuits.
How is the Lyft 12 Diffuser installed outside?
It is hardwired to an outdoor-rated junction box by an electrician.
How soon can the Lyft 12 Diffuser arrive?
