Know before you buy
Yes, the fixture has an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and splashing water. It is suitable for bathrooms and outdoor locations where it is not directly exposed to heavy, sustained water jets.
Because the fixture is made from solid, unlacquered brass, it will naturally oxidize and darken when exposed to the elements. This creates a unique, lived-in patina that evolves based on your specific environment.
Yes, the light is fully dimmable. To achieve the best results, ensure you are using a compatible dimmer switch and a dimmable E26 bulb.
The frosted prismatic glass is designed to diffuse the light, which softens the glare and creates a warm, ambient glow rather than a harsh directional beam. It is ideal for accent lighting or creating a cozy atmosphere.
This fixture uses an E26 base and supports a maximum wattage of 60W. You can use standard incandescent, LED, or halogen bulbs as long as they fit the base and wattage requirements.
The front guard is secured with wing nuts. Simply unscrew these by hand to remove the guard and access the glass diffuser, allowing you to change the bulb without needing specialized tools.
