At 17.2 inches tall and just 2.7 inches wide, it produces 1,286 lumens of 3000K warm white light through two openings — one pointing up, one pointing down — creating a clean vertical beam effect that marks walls, entries, and facades without calling attention to the hardware itself. IP65 wet-rated, die-cast aluminum with powder coat finish and stainless steel hardware. Suitable for commercial and residential exterior applications in any climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chara 16 runs on a 11.9W integrated LED with a universal 120–277V driver and integrated 2.5KV surge protection — specification-grade hardware that makes it equally suited for residential and commercial use. L70 rated at 60,000+ hours. Dimmable with 0-10V, ELV, and TRIAC systems. The field-serviceable LED makes long-term maintenance straightforward without fixture replacement. Black finish only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chara family includes round (16, 26) and square (12, 26) variants, all sharing the same industrial-modern up\/down light output and IP65 outdoor construction. The 16-inch round is the compact residential-scale entry — well-suited to standard entryways, porch columns, and pathway marking where the 26-inch would be oversized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sean Lavin | \u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visual Comfort Modern\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 17.2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 2.7\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth \/ Extension: 4.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight source: Integrated LED (field serviceable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWattage: 11.9W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLumens: 1,286 lm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor temperature: 3000K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCRI: 90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage: 120V–277V Universal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurge protection: Integrated 2.5 kV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimming: 0-10V, ELV, and TRIAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED lifespan: L70 \u0026gt; 60,000 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight direction: Up and down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation rating: ETL Listed, Wet Rated, IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Die-cast aluminum, powder coat finish, stainless steel hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish\/SKU: Black (700OWCHA93017BUDUNVS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the difference between the Chara 16 round and the Chara Square 12?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The Chara 16 round is 17.2 inches tall with a cylindrical profile; the Chara Square 12 is 12.3 inches tall with a square cross-section. Both produce the same 1,286-lumen, 3000K, IP65 output.
