Benefits

• Exceptional Durability and Protection: The die-cast construction and protective grid ensure the light can withstand harsh outdoor conditions, including heat from the braai, minor impacts, and environmental exposure, leading to a long service life.
• Tailored Illumination for Any Braai: With two distinct sizes, you can choose the perfect fit for your specific braai setup, ensuring comprehensive and evenly distributed lighting across your cooking surface, whether it's a sprawling built-in unit or a more compact space.
• Flexible Lighting Performance: While the R7s lamp is not included, this allows for user choice in wattage and specific light characteristics. However, using the recommended Eurolux Halogen Qi R7s lamps (G403BP for B301, G479BP for B302) guarantees the brightest and most efficient performance, providing superior visibility for cooking and entertaining. [1, 2, 3]
• Enhanced Weather Resistance: The integrated silicone gasket provides a robust barrier against moisture, dust, and insects, protecting the internal wiring and lamp, thereby extending the fixture's lifespan and ensuring consistent operation in outdoor environments.
• Simplified and Versatile Installation: The pre-attached 600mm silicone cord offers ample length and flexibility, simplifying the installation process and allowing for optimal positioning of the light, even in challenging mounting locations around the braai.
• Peace of Mind and Long-Term Value: The 3-year warranty provides assurance of the product's quality and Eurolux's confidence in its design and manufacturing. This translates to reduced maintenance concerns and a reliable lighting solution for years to come.
• Brilliant and Efficient Lighting: When paired with the specified Eurolux Halogen Qi R7s lamps, the Braai Light delivers bright, crisp illumination with excellent color rendering, making it easier to see food preparation and cooking progress. The halogen technology, while traditional, provides instant full brightness and a warm, inviting light (2900K color temperature). [1, 2]

In-Depth Technical Specifications

The Eurolux Braai Light is available in two distinct models, B301 (Large) and B302 (Small), each designed to provide robust and effective illumination for outdoor braai areas. Detailed specifications for both models, along with their recommended lamps, are outlined below:

Ideal Use

The Eurolux Braai Light (B301 & B302) is perfectly suited for a range of applications where robust, focused, and weather-resistant lighting is crucial:

• Built-in Braai Areas: Its primary design focus, providing essential illumination for cooking, grilling, and food preparation in outdoor barbecue spaces.
• Outdoor Kitchens & Entertainment Zones: Ideal for illuminating countertops, serving areas, and general activity zones within an outdoor kitchen or entertainment complex.
• Patios and Verandahs: A durable and aesthetically pleasing bulkhead light that can withstand varying weather conditions while providing ambient or task lighting.
• Garages and Workshops: Its robust die-cast construction and enclosed design make it suitable for utility lighting in areas where dust or moisture might be a concern.
• Industrial and Commercial Outdoor Spaces: For areas requiring tough, reliable lighting that can endure harsh environments, such as loading docks, outdoor storage, or maintenance areas.
• Residential Outdoor Perimeter Lighting: Can also serve as a sturdy general-purpose outdoor light where a traditional, durable fixture is desired.

Tips

• Choosing the Right Size: Carefully measure your built-in braai area or the intended mounting location. The large B301 (275 x 175mm) is better suited for wider, more expansive braai setups, while the smaller B302 (210 x 100mm) is ideal for compact braais or where space is limited.
• Optimal Lamp Selection: While the Eurolux Braai Light is compatible with standard R7s lamps, for the brightest and most efficient performance, always use the recommended Eurolux Halogen Qi R7s lamps. Specifically, use the G191 / G403BP (120W) for the B301 model and the G261 / G479BP (80W) for the B302 model. These lamps are designed to maximize the light output and provide a warm, inviting glow perfect for a braai. [1, 2, 3]
• Professional Installation Recommended: Given that this is an electrical fixture operating in an outdoor environment, often near heat and moisture, professional installation by a qualified electrician is highly recommended to ensure safety, proper wiring, and compliance with local electrical codes.
• Regular Maintenance for Longevity: Periodically inspect the silicone gasket for any signs of wear or cracking to ensure the seal remains intact. Gently clean the external surfaces of the bulkhead and grid with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated soot, dust, or grime, which can affect light output and aesthetic appeal.
• Heat and Moisture Considerations: While the Eurolux Braai Light is designed for braai environments, avoid direct and prolonged exposure to extreme heat sources beyond what is typical for a built-in braai. Ensure the fixture is mounted securely to prevent vibration or movement in windy conditions.
• Lamp Replacement Best Practices: When replacing the R7s lamp, always ensure the power supply to the fixture is turned off. Allow the existing lamp to cool completely before touching it. Handle new halogen lamps with a clean cloth or gloves, as oils from bare fingers can create hot spots on the bulb, leading to premature failure. [1, 3]
• Maximizing Light Output: Position the light strategically to avoid casting shadows on the cooking surface. For larger braai areas, consider installing two smaller B302 units rather than one B301 to achieve more uniform illumination.
