LED Vanity Light — Small, 46 cm, 1200 lm, CRI 90, IP44 — Chrome, Matte Black or Satin Brass
In a cloakroom, every fitting is at close range. The mirror is small, the wall space is tight, and the vanity light is one of the only objects in the room — which means the finish matters more than it would in a larger bathroom. At 46cm and 1,200 lumens, this bar is sized for compact mirrors and delivers accurate light at CRI 90 across five selectable colour temperatures. Select your finish using the colour option above. Integrated LED — no bulb to buy.

Choosing your finish for a compact space
Chrome is the default bathroom finish for a reason — it coordinates with every tap, towel rail, and shower fitting regardless of brand or era. In a cloakroom where the existing hardware is already fixed, chrome removes the coordination problem entirely. The reflective surface also adds perceived brightness to a small room, bouncing light back from the mirror zone.
Matte Black is a deliberate mark in a small space. A 46cm matte black bar above a white mirror reads as a frame — it defines the zone around the mirror and gives the wall a focal point. The non-reflective surface means no glare from the body of the fitting, only from the diffuser. Works best against white or pale tiles where the contrast is maximum.
Satin Brass is the choice when the room is small enough that every fitting matters. In a cloakroom with white or pale stone tiles, the warm gold tone of satin brass introduces the only colour in the room — a small amount of warmth that changes how the space feels without changing anything structural. Lacquered, so it holds its tone without maintenance.
Mounts horizontally above the mirror or vertically to either side — all hardware included. At 46cm, this bar suits mirrors up to around 60cm wide. For a wider mirror, consider the medium (61cm) or large (91cm) size. Browse the full wall lights collection or read our interior lighting tips.
Common questions
What mirror width does the 46cm fitting suit?
+
The 46cm bar works best above mirrors up to around 60cm wide — standard for cloakrooms and compact en suites. If your mirror is wider than 70cm, consider the 61cm medium for better visual balance. Mounted horizontally, the bar should ideally sit within 5–10cm of the mirror width on each side. Mounted vertically to the side of the mirror, width is less critical.
Is 1,200 lumens enough for a cloakroom?
+
Yes — 1,200 lumens at CRI 90 is well-suited to a compact cloakroom or en suite. The output is concentrated across 46cm directly above the mirror, where task light is needed most. In a small room, this fitting typically serves as the primary light source above the mirror. If the room also has a ceiling light, the vanity bar supplements it with focused, high-accuracy light at the mirror zone.
Which finish coordinates best with existing bathroom hardware?
+
Chrome is the safest choice if your existing taps, towel rails, and shower fittings are already a mix of brands or eras — it coordinates universally. Matte black works best when your hardware is already matte black or dark-toned. Satin brass pairs well with warm-toned hardware (gold, brushed brass, antique brass) and white or stone tiles. Avoid mixing warm and cool metal tones in the same room.
Does this need a special dimmer switch?
+
Yes — the integrated LED module requires a trailing edge (LED-compatible) dimmer switch. A standard leading edge dimmer will not work correctly and may cause flickering or buzzing. If your existing switch is not LED-compatible, a qualified electrician can replace it as part of the installation. Without a dimmer, the light operates at full output only.
Is IP44 sufficient for a bathroom installation?
+
Yes — IP44 is the minimum rating required for bathroom zone 2, which covers the area outside 60cm from the edge of a bath or shower. This fitting is suitable for installation above or beside a mirror in a standard bathroom layout. It is not rated for zone 1 (directly above or inside a shower enclosure), where IP65 or higher is required. If in doubt, confirm the zone with your electrician before installation.
