Ellison 2-tube glass bathroom wall light, black and brass, 56.5 cm

Two clear tubes around a faceted brass hub

The Ellison reads as a horizontal line cut in the middle. At the centre, a faceted cylindrical piece in a weathered brass finish stands out against a black round backplate. On each side a long clear glass tube shows the socket and the bulb. The mount is steel.

Two E27 sockets under clear glass

The two E27 sockets take bulbs of 40 W maximum, to be bought separately. As the glass does not diffuse, the shape of the bulb matters: a fairly short filament tube follows the axis of the cylinders. The light accepts a dimmer, provided LEDs that are themselves dimmable are chosen. Rated IP44, it withstands the splashes of a washbasin, but must not be placed in the shower zone.

Centred fitting above the mirror

It projects 12.2 cm from the wall, a modest projection above a vanity top. Centre it on the mirror, a few centimetres above the frame: its width suits a mirror of comparable size or slightly wider. Class I: earth connection compulsory.
