Product Information
Full details
The Koto Bathroom Wall Light is designed for homeowners and designers seeking a sleek, moisture-resistant lighting solution for bathroom zones 2 and 3, as well as utility spaces like hallways or porches. Its primary benefit is its IP44-rated, space-saving design that combines modern aesthetics with high-functionality materials, though users should note it requires a specific G9 LED bulb to achieve its full potential, which must be purchased separately.

FAQs
Can I install this light in my shower?
The Koto is IP44 rated, which is suitable for bathroom zones 2 and 3, meaning it is splash-proof but should not be subjected to direct water jets.
Does the light come with a bulb?
No, the Koto Bathroom Wall Light does not include a bulb. You must purchase a G9 LED bulb (20W max) separately.
Is this fixture dimmable?
Yes, it supports dimming, provided you use a compatible dimmable G9 LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch.
What is the IP44 rating?
IP44 means the fixture is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against splashing water from any angle.
Can I use this light in a kitchen?
Yes, its splash-resistant design makes it a safe and stylish option for kitchen areas, hallways, and utility rooms.
Troubleshooting
Light fails to turn on after installation
Verify that the G9 bulb is properly seated in the socket and check that the circuit breaker is active.
Light flickers when using a dimmer switch
Ensure the installed G9 bulb is specifically rated as 'dimmable' and compatible with your wall switch type.
Chrome finish shows water spots
Wipe with a clean, soft cloth and a gentle glass cleaner to restore the shine without damaging the metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure the Class I earthing is properly connected. The unit requires one 20W Max G9 LED bulb. To maintain the polished chrome finish, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe away water spots or dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the chrome plating, as this can cause scratching or degradation of the metallic finish. Periodically ensure the connection remains tight and the IP44 seal is intact to maintain moisture resistance.
