Description
The Merchant is a compact oval bulkhead in raw brass: a flush wall light with a brass cage across clear ribbed glass. The body is solid brass with a polyamide back plate, and four fixing lugs, two at each end, hold it close to the wall. It is 20cm long, 13.5cm wide and 8cm deep and weighs 0.81KG, so it fits a narrow strip of wall beside a door where a bigger lantern would crowd the frame. The IP64 rating settles the outdoor question: it is dust-tight and protected from splashing water, so it can live outside through every season of British weather.
Put it beside a front door, in a porch, along a garden wall or on a boathouse, anywhere a small, sturdy light earns its place. The maker says these bulkheads are designed for outdoor spots that call for an industrial or nautical look, and describes this one as a traditional light that is often used indoors too, in corridors and washrooms. With IP64 it can go in a bathroom, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone. The cage and the ribbed glass give it the practical character of a ship's deck light, and the maker says the maritime influence shows in the range's materials, designs and even names. It suits a coastal cottage as well as a plain modern house.
Brass left raw darkens and mellows outdoors, so expect its bright golden colour to settle into a deeper, warmer tone over the seasons. The cable enters at the rear, so it can run straight from the wall into the light, out of sight. The Merchant takes one E27 (ES) lamp up to 18W, and the lamp is not included. As a mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician. Choose the lamp when you order the light, and everything is ready on the day of fitting.

Frequently Asked
Can the Merchant bulkhead be used outdoors?
Yes. It is rated IP64, which means it is dust-tight and protected from splashing water, so it can live outside on a wall through British weather.
Which bulb does this brass bulkhead take?
It takes one E27 (ES) lamp with a maximum of 18W. The lamp is not included, so choose one when you order the light.
How big is the Merchant oval bulkhead light?
It is 20cm long, 13.5cm wide and 8cm deep and weighs 0.81KG, so it fits neatly beside a door or on a narrow stretch of wall.
Will the raw brass finish change colour outside?
Yes. Brass left raw darkens and mellows outdoors, so its bright golden colour gradually deepens into a warmer, aged tone over the seasons.
Can this bulkhead go in a bathroom?
Yes, its IP64 rating makes it a reasonable choice for a bathroom, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone.
Where is the cable entry on this light?
Cable entry is at the rear, behind a polyamide back plate, so the cable can run straight from the wall into the light.
