Bathroom Wall Lights

Bathroom wall lights need to suit where they sit. In Zone 1, above the bath or shower, and Zone 2, the 60cm beyond it, the minimum is IP44, or IPX5 where water jets may be used. IP65 is a popular choice inside a shower enclosure. Outside the zones there is no minimum rating, so IP20 wall lights are permitted in a larger bathroom, although IP44 gives extra margin against steam.

Brass wall lights are handmade in Ireland by Mullan Lighting, including swan neck and gooseneck designs for directing light over a mirror or vanity area. Available in antique, satin and polished brass finishes, plus matte black.

Glass wall lights use opal or clear glass globes on a brass fitting, giving a softer light spread, with double-globe and single-globe designs available.
