Telbix Madras wall light

Madras is Telbix's wall light range, designed for fixed wall mounting rather than a hanging pendant or recessed downlight, and suited to spaces where you want directional or accent lighting at eye level rather than overhead.

Where wall lights like Madras work well

Wall-mounted fittings suit hallways, staircases, and either side of a bed or mirror, where overhead light alone can feel flat or where floor and bench space is too tight for a lamp. Madras comes in 4 variations at the moment, covering different finishes and sizes within the range.

Choosing where to mount a wall light

Wall light placement matters more than with a pendant, since the fitting is fixed and visible at the height you mount it. A common approach for bedside wall lights is mounting at roughly seated eye height so the light doesn't glare directly into your eyes when lying down; for hallways, a consistent height along the run keeps the look even.

Madras compared to other Telbix ranges

If you need a hanging pendant instead of a wall fitting, browse the wider Telbix lighting collection, which lists Madras alongside Telbix's pendant and downlight ranges like Keon.

Common Telbix Madras wall light questions

Q: How high should a wall light be mounted?
A: It depends on the room. For bedside lighting, mounting near seated eye height avoids glare; for hallways, a consistent height along the run (often around 1.5-1.7m) gives an even look.

Q: Does the Madras range need a hardwired connection?
A: Most wall lights are hardwired and need a licensed electrician for installation. Check the specific product listing to confirm.

Q: Can Madras wall lights be dimmed?
A: Check the individual product listing for dimmable compatibility, since this depends on the specific bulb and fitting.

Q: What's the difference between an up-light and a down-light wall fitting?
A: An up-light throws light toward the ceiling for a softer, ambient wash; a down-light throws light toward the floor for more direct, task-focused lighting. Check the product photos to see which direction a specific Madras fitting throws light.

Q: Are Madras wall lights suitable for outdoor use?
A: Only if the specific fitting has an IP rating suited to outdoor exposure. Check the product listing before installing outside a covered area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of lighting should a bathroom have?

A well-designed bathroom lighting scheme uses three types: ambient lighting (general illumination, such as a ceiling light or downlights), task lighting (focused light for grooming, typically beside or above the mirror), and accent lighting (decorative LED strips, feature pendants, or night lights). Relying on a single ceiling light is the most common lighting mistake in Australian bathrooms, it creates unflattering shadows on the face and leaves the room feeling flat.

What IP rating do bathroom lights need in Australia?

In Australia, bathroom lighting must comply with AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards, which require specific IP (Ingress Protection) ratings based on the zone within the bathroom. Zone 1 (inside the shower or bath area) requires IP65 rated fixtures minimum. Zone 2 (within 0.6m of a bath or shower) requires IP44 minimum. Outside these zones, standard IP20 rated lights can be used. Always check the IP rating of any light fitting before installing it in or near a wet area.

What colour temperature is best for bathroom lighting?

For bathroom tasks like applying makeup or shaving, a colour temperature of 3000K–4000K (warm white to neutral white) is ideal as it renders skin tones naturally and accurately. Colour temperatures above 5000K (cool daylight) can appear harsh and clinical. If you want a relaxing, spa-like ambience, lean toward 2700K–3000K for a warm, flattering glow.

Are LED lights suitable for bathroom use?

Yes, LED lighting is the standard choice for Australian bathrooms. LED lights offer significantly lower energy consumption, longer lifespan (up to 25,000 hours), and are available in a full range of colour temperatures and dimmer-compatible options. Look for LED lights from reputable brands like Eglo, Brilliant, and Martec (available at The Blue Space) that carry appropriate IP ratings for your intended installation zone.

Can I install bathroom lighting myself?

In Australia, all electrical work including the installation of new light fittings must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Replacing a like-for-like fitting in the same location may be a grey area in some states, but for any new circuits, new switch positions, or wet area installations, a licensed electrician is required by law. Always obtain the appropriate Certificate of Compliance from your electrician after installation.
