Solara

Yes, as this is a hardwired wall light, installation must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations in England and Wales. Unless you are a competent person registered with a self-certification scheme, you'll need a qualified electrician to carry out the installation and certify the work. Most UK homes have standard BESA box mounting points for wall lights, which simplifies the installation process.

The bulb type and cap fitting are not specified in the provided specifications, so you'll need to check the product listing or contact the retailer for the exact lampholder type (typically E27, E14, or G9 for wall sconces). Dimmability depends on both the fitting's compatibility and the bulb you choose—if the fixture supports dimming, you'll need a dimmable LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch installed by your electrician.

The exact dimensions are not provided in the specifications supplied. We recommend checking the full product listing for height, width, and projection measurements to ensure the sconce suits your wall space and doesn't protrude too far in narrower hallways or beside doorways.

The specifications do not include an IP rating, which suggests this fitting is designed for general indoor use in dry locations only. Bathrooms require specific IP ratings depending on the zone (IP44 minimum for most zones), and without a stated rating, the Solara should not be installed in bathrooms or other moisture-prone areas.

Antique brass finishes are typically treated to achieve their aged appearance and are relatively stable, though they may develop further patina over time when exposed to moisture or handling. For indoor wall lights in dry environments, minimal maintenance is needed—occasional dusting with a soft cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, which can damage the finish.

Alabaster is a natural stone that diffuses light beautifully, creating a warm, soft glow with subtle veining patterns that add character to the illumination. Unlike clear glass, it eliminates glare and harsh shadows, making it ideal for ambient lighting in hallways, living rooms, or bedrooms. The translucent quality provides gentle, flattering light without the stark brightness of exposed bulbs.
