Description
The Mini Compass is a small round bulkhead light in solid brass with a raw brass finish, its domed frosted ribbed glass set into a porthole ring. The maker calls it a small porthole 'spider' bulkhead, a fair name for the brass lugs around the rim. At 14cm in diameter and 6cm deep it sits close to the wall and fits where a larger bulkhead would crowd the space. Rated IP44, it is protected against splashing water from any direction, so it can live outdoors on a house wall, or go into a bathroom, where a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone.
Its size suits the places a bigger light would overpower: beside a front or back door, inside a porch, along a garden wall or on a boathouse or shed. The maker designed its bulkheads for outdoor settings where an industrial or nautical effect is wanted, and this one has the round look of a ship's porthole. It suits a coastal cottage or a converted warehouse. The maker says the maritime influence of its range shows in the materials, the designs and even the names. With no cage or guard across the glass the face stays clean and open, and the maker says leaving the guard off gives a higher light output.
Solid brass darkens and mellows outdoors, so the bright gold of new raw brass deepens into a warmer tone. The cable enters through a gland at the side. It takes one G9 lamp of up to 25W, not included, so add a G9 bulb to your order. The maker says thumb-turn fixings are supplied, so the glass comes away easily when the lamp needs changing. It weighs 0.63KG, so it is easy to hold steady while it is fixed. As with any mains light, a qualified electrician should install it. Keep a spare G9 lamp in a drawer and a change takes a moment.

Frequently Asked
Can the Mini Compass be used outdoors?
Yes. It is rated IP44, so it is protected against splashing water from any direction, and the maker designed its bulkheads for outdoor settings. A porch, a door surround or a garden wall all suit it.
Is this bulkhead suitable for a bathroom?
With its IP44 rating it can be considered for a bathroom, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone in your room.
What bulb does the Mini Compass take?
It takes one G9 lamp of up to 25W. The lamp is not included, so you will need a G9 bulb of your own.
How big is the Mini Compass bulkhead?
It is 14cm in diameter and 6cm deep, a compact size that sits close to the wall beside a door or in a porch, and it weighs 0.63KG.
Will the raw brass finish change colour outside?
Yes. Solid brass darkens and mellows outdoors, so the bright gold of a new light gradually deepens into a warmer, aged tone over time.
How do you change the lamp in this light?
The maker says thumb-turn fixings are supplied, so the glass can be removed easily by hand whenever the G9 lamp needs replacing.
