Sean Lavin's Chara 26: a 26-inch black cylinder of light for garage flanks, tall entry walls and facades, with 1,286 lumens at 3000K, up and down, IP65 wet rated.
The Chara 26 is the tall version of the Chara cylinder, made for walls where a short sconce looks lost: a two-car garage, a double-height entry, a long commercial facade. It puts a strong vertical line of light on the wall, with a beam up and a beam down that marks the architecture above and below the fixture. The body is die-cast aluminum with a powder-coat finish and stainless steel hardware, 2.7 inches wide and 26 inches tall.
It comes in Black only, which suits Modern and Scandinavian exteriors with dark window frames, and it runs on a universal 120–277V driver with built-in 2.5 kV surge protection.

Installation & sizing
A pair flanking a garage or main entry is the usual arrangement. For a three-car garage or a wide commercial entry, plan more fixtures for even coverage. Professional installation is recommended for wiring and code compliance.
Who this is not for
- Small porches and standard door frames: a shorter Chara will be better proportioned.
- Anyone who wants a finish other than Black.
Why we carry it
