Benno 2 Light Bathroom Wall Light - Black & Champagne Bronze IP44

The Kichler Benno is a 2-light bathroom wall light built around two opal glass globes mounted on a matt black horizontal bar with champagne bronze accents at the mounting plate and lamp holders. The fitting measures 373mm wide by 222mm high and projects 166mm from the wall, housing two G9 LED bulbs (included) that sit inside the opal glass shades to diffuse light evenly across a vanity or mirror.

Designed for bathroom installation above mirrors or either side of a medicine cabinet, the Benno carries an IP44 rating that protects against water splashes in zones 2 and 3. The dual-globe layout provides balanced light distribution across a 900-1200mm vanity width without the hard shadows that single-point ceiling lights create. The fitting can be mounted with the globes facing upward or downward depending on ceiling height and mirror placement, with the horizontal bar orientation remaining fixed.

The matt black finish on the bar and circular backplate provides contrast against the champagne bronze detailing at the globe cups and central mounting disc. This two-tone metalwork pairs well with bathrooms that mix warm and cool tones, particularly where brass or gold taps and fixtures are combined with darker cabinetry or tiling. The opal glass shades are a smooth white rather than frosted, giving a soft white glow when lit that minimises glare during close-up tasks like shaving or applying makeup.

Each G9 LED bulb is rated at 3W and supplied with the fitting, removing the need to source compatible bulbs separately. The champagne bronze accents sit at the join between the black bar and the glass globes, creating a visual separation between the two materials without overwhelming the overall black-dominant appearance. The 166mm projection means the fitting extends reasonably far from the wall, so it works best where there is at least 250mm clearance between the wall and any mirror edge to avoid the globes interfering with the mirror plane.

Product Specification Sheet

Can the Benno be installed with the globes facing downward?

Yes. The fitting can be mounted with the globes facing upward or downward. The horizontal bar orientation remains fixed, but rotating the mounting plate allows you to choose globe direction based on ceiling height and mirror position.

What IP rating does it carry and where can it be used in a bathroom?

The Benno is IP44 rated, protecting against water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for bathroom zones 2 and 3 (areas outside the immediate shower or bath enclosure), including above vanities and on walls adjacent to bathtubs.

Are the G9 bulbs replaceable?

Yes. The fitting includes two 3W G9 LED bulbs, which are user-replaceable. Standard G9 LED bulbs up to 3W can be used as replacements when needed.

What vanity width does the 373mm fitting suit?

The 373mm width works best above vanities between 900mm and 1200mm wide, where the two globes provide balanced light distribution across the full mirror width without looking undersized or oversized relative to the vanity.
