Huguenot Lake 2 Light Bathroom Wall Light - Polished Chrome IP44

The Huguenot Lake is a 2 light bathroom wall light built around a circular polished chrome backplate with a horizontal bar supporting two downward-facing glass shades. Each shade is made from clear seeded glass with a subtle bubble texture that diffuses the light from the included 3W LED G9 bulbs. The chrome frame uses ball-jointed arms and decorative turned detailing that references classical column architecture without relying on heavy ornamentation.

Designed for bathroom mirror lighting, the fixture carries an IP44 rating that makes it suitable for installation in bathroom zones 2 and 3 where it may be exposed to splashed water. The fitting measures 330mm wide by 248mm high with a 152mm projection from the wall, which suits most single or double basin vanity units without encroaching too far into the room. The wall light can be mounted with the shades facing downwards for task lighting onto a basin, or inverted with shades upwards for ambient ceiling-directed light.

Each shade sits on a polished chrome stem with ball-jointed connections top and bottom, giving the fixture a symmetrical balance. The clear seeded glass shows the bulbs behind the textured surface but diffuses the point source enough to reduce glare at eye level when standing at a mirror. The polished chrome finish provides high reflectivity that works in both contemporary bathrooms with white sanitaryware and more traditional schemes with period-style brassware and tiling.

The Huguenot Lake is supplied with two 3W LED G9 bulbs providing 3000K warm white light. These are integrated capsule bulbs rather than retrofit lamps, and the 3W output per bulb gives a total of approximately 500-600 lumens across the two fittings, which is adequate for grooming tasks at a bathroom mirror in a space up to 6-8m².

Can this be used in a bathroom shower area?

The IP44 rating makes it suitable for bathroom zones 2 and 3, which covers areas outside the shower enclosure itself. It is not rated for installation inside a shower cubicle or directly above a bath (zone 1), where IP65 or higher is required.

Can the shades be mounted facing upwards?

Yes. The fitting can be inverted during installation so the shades face upwards. This directs light onto the ceiling for ambient wash rather than downwards onto a basin for task lighting.

Are the bulbs replaceable?

Yes. The fitting uses standard G9 capsule bulbs, which can be replaced if they fail. The supplied 3W LED G9 bulbs have a typical lifespan of 15,000-25,000 hours depending on usage patterns.

What fixing does it require?

The wall light mounts onto a standard UK back box or directly onto a solid wall with the appropriate fixings for the wall type. The mains cable enters through the circular backplate, which conceals the electrical connection once installed.
