About Waterproofcandle:

Waterproofcandle is a London-based start-up dedicated to simplifying the intricate process of waterproofing heritage lighting for demanding outdoor environments.

Our mission:

At Waterproofcandle, we understand that when clients fall in love with a lighting design, they often wish to extend its charm across their entire space. However, adapting fixtures to meet IP44/65 or WET location standards is no easy task.
Over the years, we’ve identified a significant gap in the market for heritage and modern lighting designs featuring traditional bulbs—particularly for spaces such as bathrooms, wet rooms, and outdoor areas. Historically, the lighting industry has relied on modifying fixtures to prevent water ingress or replacing traditional lamps with smaller halogens and glass enclosures. However, with LED technology, this often results in reduced light output and compromises the overall aesthetic harmony.

To address these challenges, we’ve developed a versatile, waterproof lampholder system that preserves the design and functionality of cherished lighting styles, even in the most challenging environments. Our lampholder system has been rigorously tested with a wide range of lamps from various manufacturers to ensure seamless compatibility. Additionally, we’re committed to minimizing post-sale issues by continually evaluating and testing lamps—including any new ones our clients propose—offering reliable performance and peace of mind.
