Nordlux Malaika 68 combines a long white LED wall light with a power socket concealed beneath a flap at the end of its body. The aluminium housing includes plastic components, while the on/off switch is positioned on the fitting itself. It brings lighting and an electrical connection together beside a bathroom mirror.
Check the space around your mirror
The fitting measures 68.4 cm long. Compare that measurement with your mirror and the available wall space before choosing its position. Nordlux also specifies a height of 7 cm, a width of 5.5 cm and a projection of 5.5 cm. Allow access to the switch and socket flap rather than planning only around the outline of the housing.
Its straight profile, white finish and absence of decorative arms suit modern, modernist and minimalist interiors. This is an indoor fitting, with bathroom mirror lighting explicitly identified by the manufacturer as its intended use. An IP44 rating supports that application, but does not mean that every position within a bathroom is an appropriate installation location.
Warm light without a separate bulb
The integrated 15 W LED is included, so there is no additional bulb to select. It delivers a stated 1350 lumens at 3000 K, giving a warm-white rather than cool-white light colour. Nordlux describes the fitting as lighting for shaving and getting ready at the mirror. Its long illuminated section is a useful point of comparison when choosing between short and extended mirror lights.
The light cannot be dimmed, and its LED source is non-replaceable. You therefore cannot change the light colour by fitting a different bulb. The declared LED lifespan is 20,000 hours; this is a service-life specification, not a warranty period.
Socket and installation requirements
The built-in socket allows an appliance to be connected near the mirror. The mounting instructions specify a maximum socket load of 2300 W, distinct from the lighting power consumption. Malaika uses a 230 V supply and is a Class I fitting requiring an earth connection. Mounting screws are not included according to the instructions, so suitable fixings must be selected for the installation surface.
