Wall lights need to be coordinated with finishes and wiring before installation. Compare the projection and backplate with nearby doors, artwork or bedside furniture. Confirm the light source, controls and mounting instructions. For a bathroom or exposed setting, suitability depends on the verified rating and installation conditions of the exact fitting.

What should I check before positioning a wall light?
Compare projection, backplate size and the desired light direction with the available wall space. Confirm wiring, fixing and access requirements with the installer. Include nearby doors, mirrors and furniture in the layout.
Can a wall light be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
Only use a fitting in an environment supported by its documented rating and installation instructions. Have the location and electrical requirements assessed by a qualified installer. A metal or glass finish does not establish moisture or weather protection.
