Gatsby

Yes, this is a mains-wired wall light that must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with UK Building Regulations Part P. The fitting connects directly to your mains electrical supply and should be mounted to a standard wall plate or BESA box. Installation instructions are included in the box along with mounting screws and plugs.

The product specifications don't list a specific bulb type or fitting (E27, E14, B22, etc.), so you'll need to check the lamp holder inside the glass shade upon delivery or contact the retailer before purchase. Bulbs are not typically included with decorative wall fittings unless stated in the "What's in the box" section, which only lists the sconce, fixings, and instructions.

No, this wall light has an IP20 rating, which means it's only protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm and has no moisture protection whatsoever. It's strictly for use in dry indoor locations like hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms—not bathrooms, kitchens near sinks, or any area where it may be exposed to steam or splashes.

Dimmability depends entirely on the bulb you choose, as the specifications don't indicate a built-in dimmer or dimmer compatibility for the fitting itself. If you install a dimmable LED or halogen bulb and have a compatible dimmer switch on your lighting circuit, you should be able to dim the light. Always check your bulb packaging confirms it's dimmable before use.

The Gatsby measures 320mm in height, 120mm in depth (projection from the wall), and weighs 2,800g. This makes it a statement piece that will stand out noticeably from the wall, so ensure you have adequate clearance in hallways or beside furniture before installation.

The Gatsby projects 120mm from the wall and stands 320mm tall, so you'll want to ensure at least 150mm clearance on either side and above to avoid the fitting looking cramped or interfering with adjacent frames, switches, or doorways. Below the light, leave enough space that the glass shade isn't at risk from passing traffic—typically at least 200mm from head height in hallways. The 2,800g weight means it must be fixed to a solid wall or into sturdy wall plugs, not plasterboard alone.
