IP44 brass globe — bathroom-safe, 7 finishes, compact ceiling mount
IP44 means this fitting is protected against water splashes from any direction — making it suitable for bathroom zones 2 and 3 (outside the immediate shower or bath area, but within the same room). It is not rated for zone 1 (directly above a shower or bath); for that, you need IP65. The glass globe diffuses the E27 bulb evenly, giving a soft, glare-free light that works well in a bathroom where harsh direct light would be unflattering. Max wattage is 40W — a 5W LED equivalent is sufficient for most bathroom uses. Seven finishes give genuine variety: the brass options (Antique, Natural, Polished, Satin) suit warm, traditional bathrooms; Matte Black works in contemporary or industrial spaces; White gives a clean, minimal look; Antique Silver sits between brass and chrome. Natural Brass is a distinctive option — it has a raw, unlacquered finish that will develop a patina over time. Dimmable with a compatible E27 dimmer switch and dimmable bulb. Hardwired; professional installation required.
Works well as a primary ceiling light in a bathroom, shower room, or cloakroom. The compact globe format suits rooms where a larger fitting would feel out of proportion. Can also be used in non-bathroom spaces — the IP44 rating is a bonus, not a limitation. Browse the full ceiling lights collection or read our guide to ceiling lighting solutions for placement ideas.
Common questions
Can this be installed directly above a shower or bath?
+
No — this fitting is IP44 rated, which is suitable for bathroom zones 2 and 3 (outside the immediate shower or bath area). For installation directly above a shower or bath (zone 1), you need a fitting rated IP65 or higher. Always confirm zone compliance with your electrician before installation.
What does Natural Brass look like and will it tarnish?
+
Natural Brass has a raw, unlacquered finish — it starts with a warm golden tone and will develop a natural patina over time as it oxidises. Many customers prefer this aged look. To slow the process, apply a thin coat of clear wax or brass polish occasionally. The other brass finishes (Antique, Polished, Satin) are treated and more stable.
Is this ceiling light dimmable?
+
Yes — but you need both a dimmable E27 LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. Not all dimmers work with all LED bulbs. Check compatibility before purchasing your dimmer. The fitting itself is dimmer-ready.
Which bulb should I use?
+
A standard E27 LED bulb at 2700K gives the warmest, most flattering result in a bathroom. A 5W LED (equivalent to 40W) is sufficient for most bathroom uses. Choose a dimmable E27 LED if you plan to use a dimmer switch. Max wattage is 40W — do not exceed this.
Does this need a qualified electrician to install?
+
Yes. This is a hardwired ceiling fitting — it connects directly to your ceiling wiring with no plug. A qualified electrician is required for safe installation, particularly in bathroom locations where zone compliance must be verified.
