Luminar

Yes, as this is a hardwired Class I fitting, installation must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations in England and Wales. Unless you're a competent person registered with an electrical self-certification scheme, you'll need a qualified electrician to wire it into your mains circuit and issue the necessary certification. The fitting connects directly to your wall's electrical supply rather than plugging in.

The Luminar uses a standard E27 Edison Screw (ES) bulb with a maximum wattage of 60W, but no bulb is included with the fitting. Because the bulb sits exposed and proud of the cylindrical housing, a decorative filament bulb — such as a spiral, globe, or vintage-style LED — will showcase best and become a design feature in itself.

Yes, the Luminar is dimmable when paired with a trailing edge dimmer switch and a dimmable bulb. You'll need to ensure both your dimmer and your chosen E27 bulb are compatible with each other — most dimmable LED filament bulbs work well with trailing edge dimmers, but always check the bulb specifications to avoid flickering or buzzing.

The fitting measures 100mm in height, 60mm in width, and 50mm in diameter, making it a compact cylindrical profile that sits close to the wall. It weighs 1kg, so it's suitable for mounting on standard plasterboard with appropriate fixings or directly onto a BESA box backplate on solid walls.

No, this fitting is rated IP20, which means it has no protection against moisture and is only suitable for general indoor use in dry locations. For bathrooms, you'd need a minimum of IP44 (or IP65 for shower zones), so the Luminar should be kept to hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, or other dry areas of the home.

The Luminar comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This applies to the fitting itself, though bulbs are considered consumables and aren't typically covered, so keep your proof of purchase in case you need to make a claim.
