Mini Compass Guard Round Bulkhead Light IP44 - Raw Brass

Description

DescriptionThis is a small round bulkhead light in solid brass with a raw brass finish, a warm golden metal with a porthole outline. A grid guard of brass bars crosses the front, sitting over a domed pane of clear ribbed glass whose ribs radiate out from the centre. It is 14cm across and only 6cm deep, so it sits close to the wall and suits spots where a larger lantern would crowd the space. It carries an IP44 rating, which means it is protected against splashing water from any direction and against solid objects larger than 1mm, so it is ready for outdoor use.
The maker recommends it for decking and outdoor eating areas, and we think that is exactly where it shines: on the wall beside a deck, a patio table or a back door. The maker designs these bulkheads for outdoor settings that call for an industrial or nautical look, and says the maritime influence shows in the range's

materials, designs and names. That porthole shape and guarded glass bring a touch of the boatyard to a seaside cottage or a modern home alike. The maker also tells us it has earned the fond nickname of the spider. With its IP44 rating it may suit a bathroom too, where a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone.
The body is solid brass and weighs 0.7KG, and the front ring is held by brass thumb screws, which the maker says make changing the bulb an easier job. The cable enters through a gland at the side. Solid brass darkens and mellows outdoors, so expect the bright golden tone to deepen over time into a softer, older shade. As a mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. It takes one G9 lamp of up to 25W, which is not included, so have one ready before fitting day.
