Quintiesse Hudson Bathroom Wall Light

Choosing a wall light for a bathroom feels simple until you realise not every fitting is rated for wet or damp zones — and installing the wrong one is a compliance risk, not just a style miss. The Hudson is rated IP44, which means it is protected against water splashing from any direction, making it suitable for bathroom zones where moisture is present.

In bathroom lighting, IP rating is the first filter, not an afterthought. IP44 (Ingress Protection 44) covers solid particles larger than 1mm and water splashing from any direction — suitable for most bathroom wall positions outside the immediate shower or bath enclosure. Beyond IP, the quality and diffusion of the light source matters: harsh point sources beside a mirror are unflattering and tiring. This is where the lens design of the shade does real work.

The Quintiesse Hudson Bathroom Wall Light is a two-light wall-mounted sconce from the Hudson range. It is constructed in steel with a polished chrome finish and features two tapered glass shades with an all-over diamond-cut faceted texture. That texture is doing more than looking good — it breaks up and diffuses the G9 LED point source into a multi-faceted, subtle ambient glow rather than a direct beam. The fitting is IP44 rated and supplied complete with G9 LED bulbs.

The Hudson sits in a transitional aesthetic — the clean horizontal bar and circular backplate carry a contemporary sensibility, while the classically textured cut glass reads as timeless rather than trend-led. The polished chrome finish adds high-gloss reflectivity that works particularly well in mirror surrounds and vanity settings. A useful practical detail: the fixture can be installed with the shades facing upwards or downwards, which gives you flexibility depending on ceiling height and where you want the light to fall.

The fitting is supplied with G9 LED bulbs included, so there is no separate lamp sourcing required at installation. G9 is a bi-pin capsule lamp format, and the LED versions run cool and efficiently compared to their halogen predecessors — relevant in an enclosed glass shade. No external driver or transformer is required for G9 LED. The IP44 rating makes it suitable for Zone 2 and general areas of a bathroom; always verify zone placement with your electrician prior to installation.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with fittings like the Hudson because they resolve real specification questions cleanly: IP compliance, lamp inclusion, and installation flexibility in a single product decision. Getting these details right at the selection stage saves time and cost further down the project — that is value engineering in practice, not just a phrase. If you need help confirming zone suitability or coordinating a wider bathroom scheme, we are here to support the full specification process.
