Bring a Classic Nautical Touch to Your Home with Two Solid-Brass Firstlight Bulkheads

When it comes to reliably stylish lighting for damp or exposed spaces, few fixtures strike the balance of form and function like the 6820BR and 6819BR Nautic Bulkheads. These ship-style wall lights draw on maritime heritage, offering a timeless design that works beautifully both outdoors and in moisture-prone areas — such as bathrooms — without compromising on build quality.

Craftsmanship Built to Last

At the heart of both these fixtures lies a solid brass construction, lending them not only an elegantly warm tone but also real durability. Brass is inherently corrosion-resistant, which makes it an excellent choice for external walls, patios, or coastal settings. The Nautic range is IP64 rated, meaning the lights are protected against dust and splashing water — a key factor for any outdoor installation.

This rugged build also supports safe use in bathrooms, particularly in zones where condensation or occasional splashes are common. The warm, aged quality of the brass finish gives the fixtures a premium, vintage feel, while the frosted glass diffuser softens the light — casting a gentle, evenly spread glow that’s ideal for relaxed or atmospheric spaces.

Design Heritage and Character

The Nautic range draws inspiration from classic marine lighting, with its unmistakably nautical aesthetic rooted in the design traditions of ship deck lamps. These bulkheads don’t just evoke seafaring style — they embody the practical build of those original marine lights, with sturdy materials, a robust cage or trim, and frosted glass to shield and diffuse the bulb.

Though many listings don’t explicitly mention Greece as the manufacturing origin for these bulkheads, the “made in Greece” detail seems to be more commonly associated with brass lighting fixtures in Greek maritime lighting companies.

Ideal Use in Bathrooms and Outdoor Spaces

• Bathroom Use: Thanks to their IP64 rating, these brass bulkheads are well-suited for bathroom zones where they may encounter humidity or splashes — like above a vanity, beside a mirror, or even in some semi-exposed shower areas (depending on local electrical regulations). Their warm glow and solid build not only elevate the décor but provide functional, safe light.

• Outdoor Use: These lights shine on exterior walls, porches, patios, and garden paths. The brass housing weathers gracefully, developing a natural patina over time, making them particularly attractive for coastal homes or homes with a traditional or nautical aesthetic. Their robust and dust-resistant nature ensures longevity even when exposed to the elements. 

Why Choose These Nautic Bulkheads?

1. Material Integrity: Solid brass ensures both style and strength.

2. Weather Resistance: IP64 rating provides protection from dust and water ingress — great for outside or humid environments.

3. Classic Design: Inspired by marine lighting, they bring a nautical, timeless charm to your home.

4. Versatility: Suitable for both outdoor facades and indoor bathrooms — a rare combination in one design.

If you’re refurbishing a coastal home, designing a beachside bathroom, or just want to bring a touch of rugged elegance to your outdoor lighting, the 6820BR and 6819BR Nautic Bulkheads make a compelling choice.
