Description
The Guardian is a 345mm flush ceiling light with a geometric metal cage in painted natural brass surrounding an opal glass diffuser. The fitting houses two E27 bulbs (sold separately) behind the glass and sits 142mm from the ceiling to the base, making it suitable for standard and low ceiling heights. The IP44 rating allows safe installation in bathroom zone 2, where moisture resistance is required.
Designed for bathrooms, hallways and bedroom ceilings where both functional light output and moisture protection are needed, the Guardian works well above vanity units, in shower rooms with adequate clearance, and in narrow hallways where a pendant would obstruct headroom. The geometric cage pattern creates subtle shadow play on the ceiling when the bulbs are on, while the opal glass diffuses direct glare from the bulb filaments.
The painted natural brass finish brings warm metallic tones that complement both traditional and transitional bathroom schemes, pairing well with brass taps, towel rails and cabinet hardware. The finish is painted rather than plated, giving a softer, slightly muted tone compared to polished brass. The 345mm diameter provides enough coverage for a typical bathroom ceiling without overwhelming smaller spaces.

Frequently Asked
Can this be used in a bathroom shower area?
The IP44 rating makes it suitable for bathroom zone 2, which includes areas outside the immediate shower enclosure or bath tub. It should not be installed directly above a shower or bath (zone 1) unless the specific zone requires only IP44 or lower protection.
What bulbs are recommended?
The Guardian takes two E27 bulbs up to 60W each. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for bathroom lighting. Bulbs are sold separately.
Is the brass finish lacquered?
The finish is described as painted natural brass rather than plated or lacquered solid brass. This means the colour is applied as a coating over the metal frame, giving a consistent tone that will not tarnish or patina over time like bare brass would.
What ceiling height does it suit?
At 142mm projection from the ceiling, the Guardian works in standard ceiling heights from 2.3m upwards and is particularly useful in bathrooms or hallways with lower ceilings where a pendant would reduce headroom.
