{"product_id":"austen-bathroom-wall-light-polished-nickel-ribbed-glass","title":"Austen Bathroom Wall Light - Polished Nickel Ribbed Glass","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Austen is a single-arm bathroom wall light with a fluted ribbed glass shade mounted on a polished nickel-plated solid brass arm and backplate. The 139mm-wide glass shade sits on a stepped collar and diffuses light through vertical ridges that soften glare and spread the beam across vanity mirrors and basin areas. The fitting carries an IP44 rating, making it suitable for bathroom zones 2 and 3 where water spray is occasional rather than direct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bathroom mirror lighting, the Austen mounts 217mm high and projects 173mm from the wall, positioning the light source forward of the backplate to illuminate faces at a mirror without casting hard shadows. The polished nickel finish on the solid brass frame gives a bright, reflective surface that works alongside chrome taps and mirror frames in traditional and classical bathroom schemes. The stepped circular backplate provides a substantial mounting point that covers existing fixing holes when replacing older fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ribbed glass shade is cut with vertical fluting that creates linear highlights when the bulb is lit, adding decorative detail to the functional light output. The included 3W LED G9 bulb produces 3000K warm white light comparable to a traditional 25-30W halogen, suitable for colour-accurate mirror tasks like makeup application and shaving. The solid brass construction and electroplated nickel finish resist corrosion in humid bathroom environments better than stamped steel or zinc alloy alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e217mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e139mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\/Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e173mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Wattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3W LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSocket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb(s) Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x 3W LED G9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED Colour Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3000k\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP44\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bathroom zones can this be used in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IP44 rating makes the Austen suitable for bathroom zones 2 and 3, which are areas beyond 60cm from a bath or shower where occasional water spray may occur but not direct jets. It is not rated for zone 1 (directly above a bath or shower cubicle) or zone 0 (inside a bath or shower).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the bulb be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The included 3W LED G9 bulb is user-replaceable. To change the bulb, remove the glass shade by unscrewing the stepped collar that holds it to the brass arm, pull out the existing G9 capsule bulb, and insert a replacement. Any G9 LED up to 3W or any halogen G9 up to 25W will fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat height should it be mounted at?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor mirror lighting, mount the Austen at eye level or slightly above, typically 1600-1800mm from the floor depending on the user's height and the mirror position. The 173mm projection means the light sits forward enough to illuminate faces without creating harsh shadows from overhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the glass shade replaceable if damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContact Elstead Lighting or Niori for spare glass shades.
