Strum 28 Architectural Outdoor Wall Lamp by Visual Comfort & Co

The Strum 28 Architectural Wall Lamp is Mick De Giulio's standard outdoor wall light in the Strum series — a 28-inch vertical exterior sconce whose proportions are calibrated for primary entry walls, main building facades, and covered porch flanks where a fixture is expected to hold its own visually against the surrounding architecture. The Strum's design argument is simplicity as a design choice rather than a default: the vertical blade form, the minimal hardware, the integrated LED that produces its output without visible means — these are the details of a fixture that has been thought through, not assembled. At 28 inches it is the most versatile Strum for standard residential and commercial exterior applications.

Wet-rated for full outdoor exposure. Integrated LED at 2700K and 90 CRI, ELV dimmable. ADA compliant. Available in Nightshade Black and Natural Brass. 120–277V. Five-year warranty.

Coordinates with the Strum 21 (MDOWS861) and Strum 36 (MDOWS863) for a scaled exterior lighting scheme using the same vocabulary at multiple scales on the same building.

Designed by Mick De Giulio for Visual Comfort Modern.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exterior applications is the Strum 28 best suited for?
Primary building entries, main facade walls, covered porch walls, and exterior corridor positions. The 28-inch scale suits standard residential and commercial exterior walls with 8+ feet of vertical clearance.

Is this rated for uncovered outdoor use?
Yes — wet-rated for full outdoor exposure including direct rain. No coverage required.

How does the Strum 28 differ from the 21 and 36?
The 21 is for secondary and accent positions; the 28 is the standard primary entry scale; the 36 is for larger building facades and double-height exterior walls. All three share the same design vocabulary and finish options.

Is a dimmer included?
No — a compatible ELV dimmer must be purchased and installed separately.
