Description
The Castrovido is a bathroom wall light made from a black steel backplate with a soft, pebble-like outline. It holds a white globe of matt opal glass set slightly off centre. It measures 23.5cm in length, 21.5cm in width and 15.5cm in height, a compact size that sits neatly beside a mirror. It takes a G9 light source rated at 4.2W and 320lm, enough for a gentle, even glow. It carries an IP44 rating, which means it is protected from splashing water and is suited to life in a bathroom.
We would hang one either side of a bathroom mirror, where a pair gives balanced light for shaving, make-up and the morning routine. A qualified electrician installs it and will confirm the right zone for your bathroom. The black and white pairing suits a monochrome scheme and sits happily alongside chrome or black taps. It works just as well in a cloakroom, a hallway or a bedroom, anywhere you want a soft wall light with a bit of character. The off-centre globe gives the light a relaxed, organic look that softens a plain wall.
The body is steel finished in black, and the shade is white matt opal glass, which spreads the light softly and hides the lamp from view. There is no switch on the light itself. It is switched at the wall, so it comes on with the room's usual light switch. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz, has an energy class of E and weighs 1.02KG packed. The installation instructions come as a download, so you can look over the details before fitting day.
