Dazuma Outdoor Strip Wall Light Review: What the Spec Sheet Shows

Dazuma lists more than ten thousand lights across its indoor and outdoor ranges, which is too many to browse without a plan. Its product pages also assume you already know what a CRI figure or an IP code means.

This guide gives you the plan. It covers who stands behind the brand, how the catalog is organized, how to choose by room, style and budget, what the spec terms mean, which fixtures are worth a look, how Dazuma compares with a traditional name and what to expect from shipping, returns and installation.

It is built from the brand’s own pages and policies plus feedback on third-party review sites. Where the sources go quiet, the guide says so instead of guessing.

Who Is Behind Dazuma

Start with the company. Dazuma’s site names DUSTERONE SARL, based in Angers, France, as the business behind it. Support runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 8pm EST, by email and live chat.

The origin story is unusual for a lighting seller. The brand’s About page gives a short timeline.

  • 2016: the founder, a traveler who loves Chinese and Asian cooking, opens a restaurant called Dazuma in Angers
  • 2020: the business moves into selling lighting online

The brand ties its focus on mood to those restaurant years and says the founder carried that sense of atmosphere into home lighting. A restaurant past does not make anyone a lighting designer, so judge the fixtures by their specs and policies, not the story.

Dazuma states its aim as lighting that feels intentional, accessible and complete. It lists four values: global service, customer-centered support, accessible luxury, and quality plus selection.

Trade buyers have a separate track. A professional program serves designers, contractors and hospitality buyers with wholesale pricing and custom sizes and finishes, and the site has pages aimed at hospitality, retail and office projects.

What the Catalog Covers

The indoor range runs past 7,100 fixtures: chandeliers in modern, crystal, candle-style and staircase forms, wall sconces, ceiling fans, flush-mount and pendant ceiling lights, plus table and floor lamps. Outdoors, more than 3,000 further products cover lanterns, post lights, solar options and landscape lighting such as path and bollard lights.

Dazuma sorts all of this in three ways, and each one works as a handy filter.

  • By room: the home office, hallway and entryway, bathroom, bedroom and nursery, kitchen and dining area, and living room
  • By style: modern farmhouse, mid-century modern, transitional, and modern and contemporary
  • By material: glass, wrought iron and aluminum, brass, alabaster and stone, crystal, natural rattan and natural silk

Many pieces come in several finishes, sizes or color temperatures rather than one fixed version, so the first product page you open is rarely the only option.

How to Choose by Room, Style and Budget

Begin with the room. Filtering by room cuts thousands of listings down to a short set and screens out fixtures whose mounting type or moisture rating does not suit the space.

Pick a style lane

Four style families organize the catalog. Settle on one before you browse, or the finishes can end up mismatched from room to room. If you are stuck, glance at the metal on your door handles, faucets and furniture legs and choose fixtures that sit well beside them.

Match the material to the mood

For living rooms and bedrooms, silk and rattan shades are the gentler choice. Brass and glass look dressier and fit dining rooms and entry halls. Alabaster and stone work best as feature pieces, not as lights you read or cook by.

Set a budget first

Prices run from about $100 for Round Pendant Lights up into the thousands for large statement pieces, so decide where you are shopping before you start clicking. The figures below are regular listed prices, rounded, for pieces the store shows at a plain price.

  • Entry range: Round Pendant Lights start at about $100 at Dazuma
  • Middle range: Skyline Linear LED Lighting at about $172, the Moon Light at about $270, the Commercial Linear Pendant at about $363 and Residential Bollard Lights at about $390, all at Dazuma
  • Upper range: the Modern Brass Chandelier at about $886 and the White Plaster Chandelier in a French vintage style at about $2,093, both at Dazuma

Prices on several other pieces covered below change, so check the current price at Dazuma for those instead of relying on a number printed here.

Buying for a project

Lighting a shop, restaurant or office? The trade program, with its wholesale pricing and tailored sizes, is a better fit than placing many separate retail orders.

Lighting Specs Explained

Product pages repeat a short list of terms. They sound like marketing filler, yet each one hints at how a light behaves once it is installed. Here is what each term tells you and what Dazuma does or does not publish.

TermWhat it tells youAt Dazuma
CRIHow faithfully a light shows colors compared with daylight, on a scale up to 100Product pages advertise up to Ra98 on some indoor fixtures
Color temperatureWarm and amber at the low end, cooler and closer to daylight at the high endMany fixtures span 3000K to 6500K, and some add RGB color modes
IP ratingProtection against dust and water, with a higher second digit meaning better resistance to direct waterOutdoor lights mostly sit between IP54 and IP65
LumensActual brightnessMost listings do not publish it
Integrated LEDThe light source is part of the fixtureMost fixtures, so there is no bulb to swap

Reading CRI and brightness

CRI matters most in kitchens, near artwork and anywhere color accuracy changes how a room or object looks. It is not a brightness figure, though. A high number says colors will look true, not how bright the room will feel. Because lumens are usually missing, customer photos and a question to the support team can fill the gap.

On color temperature, warm tones tend to suit living rooms and bedrooms, while cooler white suits workspaces. The Outdoor Strip Wall Light goes further, with RGB color modes on top of its white and warm white settings.

Choosing an IP rating

Treat IP54 as the floor for anything outdoors, and look for IP65 where rain will hit the fixture directly. Lower-rated pieces belong under cover. Read the exact rating on the page you are buying from, because the whole catalog does not share one level of protection.

Materials and built-in LEDs

Indoors, Dazuma’s pieces draw on wrought iron, rattan, alabaster, crystal, artisan glass, solid brass and natural silk. For outdoor models the brand says it uses stainless steel or aluminum alloy housings meant to resist corrosion from rain and humidity. It also says every fixture passes a seven-stage inspection before shipping, though it does not publish the checkpoints.

With the LED built in, a failed light source means replacing the fixture instead of a bulb. The upside is that integrated LEDs are typically more energy-efficient. The downside matters most on higher-priced chandeliers.

Outdoor and Indoor Fixtures Worth a Look

The catalog is huge, so here is a shortlist of pieces worth a look, split by where they go. Treat the notes as starting points, not a ranking.

Outdoors

The Outdoor Strip Wall Light is a black linear LED listed as IP65. It comes in seven lengths from 24 to 94 inches, as a single light or in sets of two or four, with warm white, plain white, RGB color and a three-step dimming setting. Check its current price at Dazuma, and read our full verdict on the Dazuma Outdoor Strip Wall Light for the sizes, install notes and return rules.

Residential Bollard Lights are a cylindrical LED in an aluminum housing, made for garden paths and driveways, at about $390 at Dazuma. They suit a walkway better than a wall or an entry.

The Moon Light is a glass sphere designed as a freestanding lawn feature, at about $270 at Dazuma. It rests directly on grass or a garden bed.

The outdoor range also covers landscape spike lights and adjustable solar lawn spotlights for borders, shrubs and decks.

Indoors

The Black LED Ring Chandelier is a circular fixture in matte black aluminum. It suits a dining table or an open living area that wants a modern, geometric look. Check its current price at Dazuma.

The Modern Geometric Chandelier is a hexagonal LED ceiling fixture. Check its current price at Dazuma before you plan a budget around it.

The Modern Brass Chandelier is a candle-style fixture in solid brass, at about $886 at Dazuma. It sits in the upper range and could serve as a dining-table centerpiece for a buyer who wants to stop short of the top tier.

The Low Profile Bladeless Ceiling Fan with Light puts an integrated LED into a bladeless body meant for rooms where a traditional fan feels bulky. It could suit a bedroom that needs airflow and light from a single fixture. Check its current price at Dazuma.

How Dazuma Compares With Kichler

Kichler is a long-established American lighting company that has operated since 1938, which makes it a useful yardstick for any newer brand. Its fixtures reach customers through showrooms, electrical distributors and large retail chains.

Leonard Kichler founded it in Cleveland, Ohio. By 1954 it had passed to Sam Minoff and Bob Kichler, and over the following decades it became a worldwide lighting maker. Masco Corporation took ownership in 2018 and later sold it to Kingswood Capital Management. Its headquarters are in Solon, Ohio.

Dazuma took a very different route: a restaurant in France in 2016, online lighting retail from 2020, and sales only through its own website.

How you buy

Kichler lets you see a fixture in person, ask a store employee and sometimes collect it the same day. Dazuma has no showroom and no local staff, so photos, specs and reviews carry the whole decision, and returns and support all happen online. Selling only online is also how the brand positions its lower prices.

Design, price and support

Kichler’s catalog spans decades of broadly appealing designs for mainstream homes, and its average price sits higher. Dazuma leans toward design-forward, architectural pieces and advertises CRI up to Ra98 and IP65 outdoor ratings.

Kichler’s distributor and installer network puts local help closer to hand when you need a warranty claim or an installer familiar with its fixtures. Reviews of Dazuma on third-party review sites praise the design and the price, and they also include complaints about delivery times and return costs.

Choose Kichler if you want a company with a history back to 1938 and local support, and accept paying more for it. Choose Dazuma if you want a distinctive fixture at a lower price and you are comfortable buying and troubleshooting online.

Where to Buy and What to Expect

Dazuma’s only sales channel is its own website, dazuma.us, and the brand has no third-party retail partner network. A listing for Dazuma fixtures anywhere else deserves a second look before you pay. To browse the full catalog at Dazuma’s own store, start there.

If you come across Dazuma-branded lighting on a marketplace or an unfamiliar shop, make sure the seller is authorized, then run three quick checks. Does the seller name match Dazuma or DUSTERONE SARL? Do the photos match the product page on Dazuma’s site, given that resellers sometimes mix up versions or list discontinued colors? Do the return terms match Dazuma’s own? An oddly long return period, or no returns at all, is a cue to pause and verify.

Automated site-scanning tools can score newer, overseas-registered shops low, so treat a single automated score as one signal rather than a verdict. Reviews of Dazuma on third-party review sites give more detail, with praise for design and price next to complaints about shipping delays and return costs.

Shipping and delivery

  • Free shipping: on orders over $49, with standard fees at checkout below that
  • Delivery: Dazuma quotes three to seven days for items in stock, and reviews on third-party review sites report longer waits on some orders, so treat the quote as typical, not a promise

Returns and cancellations

You have 30 days from delivery to send an item back, and it has to go in its original packaging, unused and undamaged. Dazuma pays return postage only when the item is faulty, damaged, wrong or lost in transit. If you simply change your mind, the postage is yours and is deducted from the refund. Reviews on third-party review sites raise this most often for large, heavy fixtures, so weigh it before ordering something you are unsure about.

Cancel within 24 hours and there is no penalty. After that, expect generally a 20% fee plus the shipping already incurred. Made-to-order pieces are locked in as soon as production begins, so confirm size, color and finish before you submit.

Some categories are final sale: Open Box inventory, clearance pieces, gift cards, pre-assembled units and anything personalized or custom, along with any listing marked non-returnable.

Refunds return to the original payment method. Dazuma quotes five to ten business days for a card and about one business day for store credit or a gift card. A two-year warranty is listed across the range, so keep your order confirmation as proof of purchase.

Installation and Care

Wiring comes first. Most of Dazuma’s chandeliers, sconces and linear outdoor lights are hardwired, and independent testing flagged that the mounting hardware on some of them differs from the usual U.S. arrangement. If you do not wire fixtures yourself, hire a licensed electrician.

Weight matters too. Compare a large fixture’s weight with the rating of your electrical box before you start. The Modern Brass Chandelier and the White Plaster Chandelier are both far heavier than a standard flush-mount light.

Cleaning by material

  • Glass and crystal: a damp, not wet, cloth followed by an immediate dry-off prevents water spots, and a chandelier with many pieces goes more easily one section at a time
  • Brass: regular dusting with a dry microfiber cloth is enough, and if tarnish shows up, reach for a cleaner made for brass because general-purpose products can strip the finish
  • Silk and fabric shades: a soft brush or lint-free cloth only, with water and sprays kept away because moisture can stain or warp natural silk

Outdoor fixtures

Even a weather-rated fixture deserves a look each season. Inspect the gaskets and seals around access points, clear leaves and grit from the housing so damp has nowhere to linger, and wipe a strip light’s lens so it keeps its brightness.

Dimmers and built-in LEDs

With built-in LEDs, a cheap bulb swap cannot rescue a failing fixture. Pair any dimmable fixture with a compatible dimmer switch, because a mismatch is a frequent cause of flicker and early LED failure.
