Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
Does this wall light need to be installed by a qualified electrician?
Yes, the Bianca is a hardwired fitting and must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with Part P of the Building Regulations. It's a Class I fitting requiring mains connection and earth, typically mounted to a standard BESA box. DIY installation is not permitted for mains electrical work in the UK.
What bulbs do I need for this up and down wall light?
This fitting requires two E14 SES (Small Edison Screw) bulbs, with a maximum wattage of 40W per socket. Bulbs are not included, so you'll need to purchase them separately. You can use LED, halogen, or traditional incandescent E14 bulbs up to the wattage limit.
Can this wall light be used with a dimmer switch?
Yes, this wall light is dimmable, but you'll need to ensure both your dimmer switch and the bulbs you purchase are compatible. LED bulbs require a trailing-edge dimmer designed for LEDs, whilst halogen bulbs work with standard dimmers. Always check the bulb packaging confirms it's dimmable before purchasing.
What are the dimensions and how far does it stick out from the wall?
The Bianca measures 300mm wide, 100mm high, and projects 150mm from the wall. This relatively shallow depth makes it suitable for narrower hallways and corridors without protruding too far into the space. The recommended mounting height is 1.5–1.8m from the floor for optimal visual effect.
Can I use this plaster wall light in a bathroom?
No, this fitting is rated IP20, which means it's suitable for indoor dry locations only and offers no protection against moisture. It cannot be used in bathrooms or any zone-rated wet areas. For bathrooms, you'll need a fitting with a minimum IP44 rating depending on the zone.
Can I paint this wall light to match my wall colour?
Yes, the plaster finish is specifically designed to be paintable, allowing you to match it perfectly to your wall colour or décor scheme. Use standard emulsion paint and apply thin, even coats to avoid clogging the plaster texture. This creates a seamless, architectural look where the fitting blends into the wall when not illuminated.
