One Fitting, Light Both Above and Below The Asker is a boxy, architectural wall light that throws light both up and down the wall at once, giving a wash of illumination rather than a single glowing point. Its graphite finish and clean rectangular lines suit contemporary house fronts more than traditional lanterns do. Choosing Graphite Graphite reads as a dark, neutral charcoal rather than a true black, sitting quietly against render, brick or timber cladding without drawing attention to the fitting itself, only the light it throws. How It Works Asker takes a single E27 lamp up to 60W (bulb not included) behind a clear glass lens, is Class I earthed, and carries an IP65 rating, giving it strong resistance to driving rain as well as everyday splashing. Where It Works Best The up and down spread suits a plain wall either side of a front door, along a garage frontage, or anywhere a wide, even wash of light matters more than a decorative silhouette. Its IP65 rating also makes it a genuine option for bathroom zones 1 to 3, worth checking against our bathroom lighting zones guide if that's where you're planning to use it. Made By Norlys Asker takes its name from a Norwegian town, one of several Norlys ranges named after Scandinavian places, and its restrained rectangular form is typical of the brand's wider design language: practical, controlled light over decorative flourish.

Yes, that's the point of the design, a single fitting washing the wall both above and below itself. Can it be used in a bathroom?

No, it takes a single E27 lamp up to 60W, chosen separately.
