Quintiesse Hudson Bathroom Wall Light

Choosing a wall light for a bathroom sounds straightforward until you realise not every decorative fitting is rated for moisture zones — and fitting the wrong one is a problem you really don't want to discover after the tiles are on. Getting the IP rating right from the start saves time, money, and a call to the electrician.

In bathroom specification, IP ratings define how well a fitting is protected against water ingress. IP44 means the fixture is protected against solid objects over 1mm and splash water from any direction — making it suitable for general bathroom use outside the immediate shower or bath zone. It's the practical minimum for a wall light above a mirror or on a bathroom wall where steam and splash are facts of life.

The Quintiesse Hudson Bathroom Wall Light is a three-light wall fitting from the Hudson range by Belgian brand Quintiesse. It carries a confirmed IP44 rating, making it appropriate for bathroom installation, and comes supplied with G9 LED bulbs so it's ready to use from the moment it goes up. The steel construction is finished in polished chrome, and the diamond-cut clear glass shades diffuse light with a subtle crystalline glow — reducing glare while adding decorative presence.

The Hudson's design bridges classic and contemporary with ease. The tiered, cylindrical socket holders add architectural detail to each light head, while the horizontal bar keeps all three perfectly aligned. The combination of cut-glass texture and mirror-polished chrome suits traditional bathroom schemes as readily as it complements a more modern, paired-back aesthetic. The fixture mounts via a central circular backplate and can be installed with the shades facing upwards or downwards — a small but genuinely useful flexibility when working with different mirror heights and ceiling proportions.

The Hudson is a lamped fitting using G9 LED bulbs, which are included. G9 is a bi-pin cap type commonly used in decorative wall lights — compact, easy to replace, and widely available. No separate driver or transformer is required. Installation is straightforward, though bathroom fittings must always be connected by a qualified electrician in compliance with local wiring regulations. The fixture carries a 2-year warranty.
