Payne 2 Light Bathroom Wall Light - Polished Chrome IP44

The Payne is a 559mm two-light bathroom wall fitting built around a polished chrome central mounting plate with decorative metal collar detailing and twin horizontal arms, each holding a white opal etched glass cylinder with chrome end caps. Two 3W LED G9 bulbs (included) sit inside the glass tubes and cast diffused light outward through the etched surface, providing balanced illumination across bathroom mirrors and vanity areas.

IP44-rated for protection against water splashes, the Payne suits installation in bathroom zones 2 and 3 — typically above mirrors, beside cabinets, or on side walls where direct spray is not expected. The 127mm projection from the wall provides clearance for task lighting without interfering with typical mirror heights. The horizontal bar format distributes light evenly across a wide horizontal plane, making it suitable for double-basin vanities or wider mirrors where a single central fitting would leave uneven illumination.

The polished chrome finish provides high reflectivity and pairs with modern chrome taps, shower fittings and mirror frames commonly found in contemporary bathrooms. The white opal etched glass softens the LED source into diffused ambient light rather than direct glare, which is particularly useful when the fitting is positioned at eye level. The decorative metal collars at the centre mounting give the fitting visual depth beyond a simple tube-and-bracket configuration.

Each G9 bulb runs at 3W with a 3000K colour temperature, providing warm white light output similar to a traditional halogen bulb without the heat or power consumption. The integrated LED design means no separate ballast or transformer is needed — the fitting connects directly to 230V mains via standard UK wiring.

Is this suitable for bathroom use?

Yes. The IP44 rating protects against water splashes, making it suitable for bathroom zones 2 and 3. This typically covers areas above mirrors, beside cabinets and on side walls where direct shower spray is not expected. Do not install in zone 0 or zone 1 (inside or directly above a shower enclosure or bath).

What colour temperature are the LED bulbs?

The included G9 LED bulbs run at 3000K, which is a warm white light similar to traditional halogen bulbs. This colour temperature suits bathroom lighting where colour rendering of skin tones is important.

Can the bulbs be replaced?

Yes. The fitting uses standard G9 bulbs, which are replaceable. The included LEDs are rated for approximately 15,000-20,000 hours of use, but if one fails or if you prefer a different colour temperature, replacement G9 LED bulbs are widely available.

What width mirror does this suit?

The 559mm horizontal bar distributes light across a wide plane, making it suitable for mirrors 600-1200mm wide. For narrower mirrors a single-light version may be more proportionate; for wider double-basin vanities two separate fittings may provide better illumination balance.
