Mini Compass Round Bulkhead Light IP44 - Antique Brass

Description

DescriptionThe Mini Compass is a small round bulkhead light in solid brass with an antique brass finish, shaped like a ship's porthole. A frosted ribbed glass sits in a broad brass ring, its fine ribs radiating from the centre, and lugs set around the rim give it the look the maker describes as a porthole spider bulkhead. There is no guard or cage across the glass, and the maker says that raises the light output. It measures 14cm across and 6cm deep, a compact size for a narrow stretch of wall. The IP44 rating settles where it can go: it is protected against splashing water from any direction, so it can sit on an outside wall and take the rain.
It belongs beside a front door, in a porch or on a garden wall, and it looks at home on a boathouse, a workshop or a coastal cottage. Being compact, it also works in pairs either side of a door or spaced along a passage wall. The maker says it was designed for outdoor places that call for an industrial or nautical effect, and that the maritime influence shows in the range's

materials, designs and names. It suits anyone who wants a plain, shipshape look rather than a decorative lantern.
The maker says the solid brass body has an aged, original-looking finish, and solid brass darkens and mellows outdoors, so it settles into its surroundings rather than staying bright. The cable enters through a gland at the side of the body, and as a mains light it is installed by a qualified electrician. It takes one G9 lamp of up to 25W, and the lamp is not included. The maker says thumb-turn fixings come with it, so the glass lifts off easily when the lamp needs changing. It weighs 0.63KG. Order a G9 lamp alongside it and it is ready to light once fitted.

Frequently AskedCan the Mini Compass bulkhead light be used outside?
Yes. It is rated IP44, which means it is protected against splashing water from any direction, so it can go on an outside wall beside a door, in a porch or on a garden wall.
Can I put this bulkhead light in a bathroom?
Its IP44 rating means it may suit a bathroom, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone when it is installed.
What bulb does the Mini Compass take?
It takes one G9 lamp of up to 25W. The lamp is not included, so order one alongside the light.
How big is the Mini Compass bulkhead?
It is 14cm across and 6cm deep, and it weighs 0.63KG, so it sits neatly on a narrow stretch of wall or beside a door frame.
How will the antique brass finish weather outdoors?
The maker says the solid brass body has an aged, original-looking finish, and solid brass darkens and mellows outdoors over time, so it gains character rather than losing it.
How do I get the glass off to change the bulb?
The maker says thumb-turn fixings come with the light, so the frosted ribbed glass can be removed easily whenever the lamp needs replacing.
