This version is IP44 rated, 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 shade diffuses the E27 bulb evenly, giving a soft, glare-free light that suits bathrooms 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 unlacquered and will develop a patina over time. Dimmable with a compatible E27 dimmer switch and dimmable bulb. Hardwired; professional installation required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;margin:0 0 28px 0;color:#121212;\"\u003eWorks well as a primary ceiling light in a bathroom, shower room, or cloakroom. The schoolhouse form also suits non-bathroom spaces — hallways, bedrooms, and utility rooms — where the IP44 rating is a bonus rather than a requirement.

A globe shade is a complete sphere. Both diffuse the bulb evenly, but the schoolhouse form directs slightly more light downward due to its flared shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"ld-faq\" style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.08);padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;cursor:pointer;list-style:none;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch4 style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;font-weight:600;color:#121212;\"\u003eWhat does Natural Brass look like and will it tarnish?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"color:#b8972b;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px 0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.65);\"\u003eNatural 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"ld-faq\" style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.08);padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;cursor:pointer;list-style:none;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch4 style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;font-weight:600;color:#121212;\"\u003eIs this ceiling light dimmable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"color:#b8972b;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px 0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.65);\"\u003eYes — but you need both a dimmable E27 LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch.
