Kiro

Yes, the Kiro is hardwired directly into your mains wiring and must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with UK Building Regulations Part P. The fitting connects to a standard BESA box or backplate and requires permanent 230V mains connection. You cannot simply plug this light in — it's a fixed installation that typically replaces an existing wall light.

Yes, the Kiro is dimmable, but you'll need to fit a compatible G9 LED bulb (not included) and ensure your dimmer switch is designed for LED loads. Not all dimmer switches work well with LED bulbs, so check compatibility to avoid flickering. Traditional incandescent or halogen G9 bulbs will also dim without issue if you prefer warmer, more reliable dimming performance.

The Kiro takes a single standard G9 capsule bulb with a maximum recommended wattage shown on the fitting (typically 40W for halogen or equivalent LED). Choose a compact G9 LED of around 3–5W for energy efficiency, ensuring it fits within the ceramic cone shade. Avoid oversized G9 bulbs with large heat sinks, as the 135mm depth may not accommodate bulkier LED designs.

No, the Kiro has an IP20 rating, meaning it's not protected against moisture and is only suitable for dry indoor areas. For bathrooms, you would need a fitting rated IP44 or higher depending on the zone. This wall light is ideal for hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas where no moisture is present.

The large Kiro measures 235mm wide, 200mm tall, and projects 135mm from the wall. At 900g it's relatively lightweight despite being solid ceramic, but you'll still want to ensure it's fixed securely into a solid wall or stud. The cone shape means it occupies visual space above and below the mounting point, so allow at least 250–300mm of clear wall height for best effect.

The Kiro casts light both upward and downward through its cone-shaped shade, creating a soft wash on the wall rather than projecting light into the room. The quality and colour temperature of the light depend entirely on your choice of G9 bulb — opt for 2700K for warm white or 3000K for neutral white. Because the light is indirect and glare-free, it works beautifully for ambient or accent lighting rather than task lighting.
