The Arvin 60 is a 620mm LED vanity light with the LED built in a veryslim bar, only 25mm high, for above a bathroom mirror. That slimness is thedifference between it and the chunkier Foley: the Arvin reads as a line of light rather than afitting.

IP44, and where that lets it go

Rated IP44, it is protected against splashing from any direction therequirement for a fitting above a basin. Australian wiring rules set zones around baths and showers, andyour electrician will confirm the fitting suits the position; above a vanity mirror is the normal one,not inside a shower enclosure.

Choose the colour temperature before it goes up

It is 3CCT 3000K, 4000K or 5000K,selected at installation. Over a mirror, 4000K is usually right: it renders skinhonestly for shaving and make-up without the clinical edge of 5000K. WithCRI above 83 colours read accurately, which is the specification that actually mattersin a bathroom.

Match it to the mirror

At 620mm this suits a mirror of roughly 700mm or wider, centred aboveit. The Arvin comes in other lengths as separate listings, so check the family if your mirror is adifferent size rather than forcing this one.

Where it works

• Above a vanity mirror in a bathroom, ensuite or powder room.
• Narrower vanities where the 800mm Foley would overhang.
• Laundries and utility rooms needing a splash-rated linear fitting.
• Mirrored dressing areas, mounted above the glass.
