Description
Description
Some lights illuminate a space. The Grim does something older — it marks it. Mounted beside a door or along a garden path, it signals arrival. A warm amber glow through corrugated glass, a cast aluminium body weathered to look like it has always been there. This is not a light you notice. It is a light you feel.
The Grim is built from die-cast aluminium with a matte black finish and fitted with a corrugated glass shade that diffuses light into soft, irregular patterns across the wall and ground. The E27 socket accepts any standard LED bulb — warm white for a traditional amber glow, or daylight for a crisper, more contemporary feel. The choice is yours. The fixture is rated IP65, meaning it is sealed against dust and protected against water jets from any direction. Rain, coastal air, morning frost — the Grim does not care.
At 58cm tall, it has the presence of a traditional carriage lantern without the fragility. The aluminium body will not rust. The glass will not yellow. The 5-year manufacturer warranty is not a formality — it reflects a product built to last a decade outdoors.
AURO makes things for people who choose carefully and buy once. The Grim is that kind of object.

Product Specific FAQs
Product Specific FAQs
- Q: Does this come with a bulb?
A: No — the Grim uses a standard E27 socket, which means you can fit any E27 LED bulb of your choice. We recommend a warm white (2700K) LED bulb at 6–8W for a traditional amber lantern glow, or a daylight (4000K) bulb for a cleaner, more contemporary look. E27 bulbs are widely available at any hardware store. - Q: Is IP65 enough for a fully exposed wall — rain, wind, coastal air?
A: Yes. IP65 means the fixture is completely dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. It is the standard rating for exposed outdoor fixtures and is suitable for coastal environments, heavy rain, and year-round outdoor use. IP67 or IP68 would only be needed for submersion — which a wall lamp never experiences. - Q: Can I use a smart bulb (e.g., Philips Hue, LIFX) in this fitting?
A: Yes — the E27 socket is compatible with any standard E27 smart bulb. This means you can add dimming, colour temperature control, and scheduling via your smart home system without any additional wiring. Ensure the smart bulb you choose is rated for outdoor use if the fitting is in a very exposed location. - Q: Does the corrugated glass cast visible patterns on the wall?
A: Yes — the corrugated glass diffuses the light and creates soft, irregular light patterns on the surrounding wall and ground. This is part of the aesthetic. The effect is most visible at night when the lamp is the primary light source in the area.

What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return window from the date you receive your order. If your item arrives damaged or isn't what you expected, contact us at hello@byauro.com and we'll sort it. Items must be unused and in original packaging. Full details are on our Returns page.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Email us at hello@byauro.com with a photo of the damage within the 30-day return window. We'll send a replacement free of charge — no hassle, no back and forth.
How do I know what size to choose?
Every product page lists exact dimensions for each option. For wall art, your piece should fill roughly two-thirds of the wall space above your furniture — measure the width and multiply by 0.6 to 0.75. Hang it with the centre at eye level, around 150cm from the floor.
For lighting, a simple rule used by top designers: add your room's length and width in metres, multiply by 2.5, and that gives you the ideal fixture width in centimetres.
Pendants over a dining table should hang 75-90cm above the table surface.
If you're still unsure, email us at hello@byauro.com with your room dimensions and we'll recommend the right size.
Will the colours match what I see on screen?
We do our best to ensure accurate colour representation, but slight variations can occur due to screen settings and lighting conditions. Our products are produced to match the listing images as closely as possible.
