Shell wall light, frosted glass shell, silver-coloured mount, IP44

A frosted glass shell

The diffuser follows the outline of a shell: a wavy edge at the top, a tapered point at the bottom, ribs radiating over the whole surface. The frosted glass masks the bulb and lets only its glow be guessed. At the base, a silver-coloured metal bracket and two screw heads hold the glass against the wall.

G9 cap and wet room

The light fitting takes a G9 bulb of 7 W at most, not supplied. Choose a 2700 K or 3000 K G9 LED to keep a soft white under the glass. With a dimmable bulb, the wall light works on a dimmer; it has no switch, so provide a wall control. The IP44 rating protects it from splashes: it is fitted near a basin or a mirror, but not in the shower zone.

An 11 cm projection

At 22 cm high and 19.5 cm wide, the Shell projects only 11 cm. Fitted on either side of a mirror, it lights the face from the front; place the centre of the glass at eye height, about 1.6 m.
