At 26 inches tall and 2.7 inches wide, it produces the same 1,286 lumens of 3000K warm white light as the 16-inch model — but in a form that holds its own against two-car garage portals, tall entry walls, and extended commercial building facades where the 16-inch would look undersized. The same up-and-down beam pattern marks architectural elements above and below the fixture, creating a strong vertical light signature at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIP65 wet-rated, die-cast aluminum, powder coat finish, stainless steel hardware. Universal 120–277V driver with integrated 2.5KV surge protection. Field-serviceable LED at 11.9W, 1,286 lumens, 3000K, 90 CRI. L70 \u0026gt; 60,000 hours. Dimmable with 0-10V, ELV, and TRIAC. Black finish only, SKU 700OWCHA93026BUDUNVS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chara 26 round works best in pairs flanking a garage or main entry where architectural scale demands a longer fixture. For very large garages or commercial entries, two per side (four total) is a common approach. The Chara Square 26 version (same height, square cross-section) is also available for a harder-edged industrial look.\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: 26\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 2.7\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth \/ Extension: 4.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 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 (700OWCHA93026BUDUNVS)\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: How does the Chara 26 compare to the Chara 16?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Both produce identical output (11.9W, 1,286 lm, 3000K, IP65) — the difference is purely scale. The 26-inch is suited for garage flanks, tall entry walls, and commercial applications; the 16-inch for standard residential entryways and pathway posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can the Chara 26 be used as the primary outdoor light on a garage face?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — for a standard two-car garage (16 feet wide), one Chara 26 per side provides adequate ambient light and strong visual framing. For three-car garages (24+ feet), two per side is a better solution for even coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is there an optional surge protection upgrade for the Chara 26?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The Chara 26 includes integrated 2.5KV surge protection in the driver as standard.
