Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this light suitable for use inside a shower cubicle?
No, while it is IP44 rated for bathrooms, it is generally recommended for zones 2 and 3, not for direct placement inside a shower cubicle (zone 0 or 1).
What type of bulbs do I need?
You need 3 x G9 base LED bulbs, each with a maximum power rating of 5W.
Does this light come with the bulbs included?
No, the bulbs must be purchased separately.
Can I install this on a sloped ceiling?
This is a flush-mount fixture designed for flat ceilings; installing on a steep slope may not provide a secure or level fit.
Is the chrome finish prone to rusting?
The polished chrome plate is designed for high-humidity environments like bathrooms; however, keeping it clean and dry will prevent surface spotting.
Do I need to earth this light fitting?
No, this is a Class II double-insulated fitting and does not require an earth connection.
Troubleshooting
Light fails to turn on
Check that the G9 bulbs are securely seated in their sockets and that the power supply is switched on at the consumer unit.
Bulbs flicker when using the dimmer
Ensure that both your bulbs and your wall dimmer switch are labeled as 'LED compatible' or 'Trailing Edge dimmable'.
Glass shade appears loose
Check the mounting hardware on the chrome base to ensure the glass is properly tightened, being careful not to overtighten and crack the glass.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- IP44 rating provides excellent moisture resistance for bathrooms
- Double insulated for added electrical safety
- Dimmable functionality for personalized lighting control
- Versatile application across multiple rooms including porches and kitchens
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a competent person or qualified electrician to ensure all local building and safety regulations are met. Since the unit is double insulated, you do not need to connect an earth wire.
- Compatibility: Ensure your chosen G9 LED bulbs do not exceed the 5W maximum limit per socket. If you intend to use the dimming feature, verify that your wall-mounted dimmer switch is compatible with LED lighting.
- Cleaning: To maintain the finish, wipe the polished chrome plate with a soft, dry cloth. Clean the white glass shades periodically with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove dust and ensure maximum light output.
- Safety: Always isolate the power supply at the mains before changing bulbs or performing maintenance.
