Brown wall light

Start with the room and its use, then choose the format: a brown wall light comes as amber glass discs from Ø 320 to 500 mm for the living room, acoustic felt panels for the bedroom and IP65 protected aluminium near an entrance. Brown pairs with beige, white and gold, and takes black as a contrast on a light wall.

Which brown wall light should you choose for the living room?

In a living room, a brown wall light works as accent lighting: it lights a reading corner, frames a sofa or replaces a table lamp. A round model from Ø 320 to 500 mm in amber glass spreads a warm, wide light, while a small square design suits targeted lighting above a console better.

Modern living room wall light

For a modern living room, the lines stay simple: amber glass disc, felt panel or aluminium rectangle. The Ø 320 mm amber glass wall light, listed as dimmable, can be used alone above a console, or as a pair on either side of a sofa. A powerful living room wall light such as the Ø 500 mm disc, rated 22 W, lights a large space without taking up wall space. Our wall lighting for the living room gathers these formats, and the modern living room designs favour glass and metal.

Placing two wall lights on either side of the sofa

Two symmetrical wall lights, at the same height on each side of the sofa, replace table lamps and free up surfaces. Align both points at seated eye level and keep the same distance from the armrests. Round wall lights give a uniform, understated set.

Which brown wall light should you install in a bedroom?

In a bedroom, a brown wall light replaces the bedside lamp and frees up the nightstand. Acoustic felt models in Ø 395 mm absorb some of the noise and spread a warm, glare-free light, which suits reading before sleep.

Brown bedroom wall light

The acoustic panel comes in Ø 395 mm and Ø 500 mm, both 6 W and warm white. These bedroom wall lights are fitted at seated shoulder height, a few tens of centimetres above the mattress depending on the height of the bed. The articulated E27 arm with a cork shade suits anyone who wants to direct the beam onto a book. Our brown wall lamp for the bedroom completes these formats.

Brown wall light in wood and felt

Wood and felt soften the light and absorb some of the noise in the room, which helps in a bedroom or a night hallway. Woven rattan, in E27, plays the same warm card with a bohemian feel. These materials are dusted dry, with no product or moisture.

How do you light a staircase or hallway with a wall light?

In a hallway or on a staircase, a brown wall light acts as a guide light: it lights the way without glare and is fitted at regular intervals along the wall. The round Ø 188 mm aluminium models, IP65 protected, also suit a sheltered entrance.

Staircase wall light: how many points and at what height?

One light point every two to three metres, always at the same height, avoids dark zones between two steps. The wall light is placed above eye level so the beam is not crossed directly. For this use, the round Ø 188 mm grille wall light in 10 W IP65 and the original 10 W aluminium shape cope with dust and frequent traffic.

Which model for a long, dark hallway?

A long hallway benefits from repeating the same model rather than mixing shapes: the eye follows a line, not a collection. Two or three brown grille wall lights are enough on one wall, one only on a parallel wall if the room is narrow. Find these pieces in the hallway wall lights and the staircase lighting.

Which waterproof outdoor wall light should you place near an entrance?

For outdoors, choose a suitable protection rating: IP65 for a facade exposed to rain, IP54 or IP44 under a canopy or roof overhang. The brown aluminium wall lights in the collection are fitted near a front door, in 4 W, 8 W or 10 W LED, or with an E27 socket.

Brown outdoor wall light in IP65

In IP65, the collection offers the rectangular slotted entrance model in 4 W, the round Ø 188 mm grille wall light in 10 W and an original aluminium shape in 10 W. The rectangular E27 lantern leaves the choice of bulb. For softer or damper use, the bathroom wall lights go down to IP44 and suit under a canopy.

IP44, IP54 or IP65: what does the rating protect against?

The first digit covers solids, the second water. IP44 resists splashes, IP54 dust and splashes, IP65 water jets. Under a canopy, IP44 or IP54 is enough, like the outdoor Ø 20 cm glass sphere wall light in IP54. On an exposed facade, choose IP65.

What wattage and material for a brown wall light?

Most models have an integrated LED, others are replaceable with an E27, G9, E14 or GU10 bulb. A brown LED wall light from 5 to 22 W lights a large living room or a stairwell brightly, provided you choose a diffuser that does not glare in the line of sight.

Integrated LED, E27, G9 or E14: what is the difference day to day?

An integrated LED cannot be replaced and needs no maintenance: the module stays fixed for the whole life of the light. E27, G9, E14 and GU10 sockets let you change the bulb, choose its colour temperature and sometimes fit a smart bulb. Some models are listed as dimmer compatible, which lets you lower the intensity in the evening. The metal wall lights and the glass models cover both families.

Brown glass and marble wall light: what light effects?

Amber glass spreads a warm, wide light without glare. Marble-effect glass, in E14 on the oval globes, gives small points of light and a softer glow. Aluminium and steel draw fine lines and direct the beam, while rattan filters the light and casts patterns on the wall.

How do you choose an original or bohemian wall light?

An original wall light is recognisable by its shape or material: original aluminium shape, amber glass disc, acoustic felt panel or woven rattan shade. The modern wall lights and the bohemian models in rattan and fabric, in E27, bring a softened light and suit both the living room and the bedroom.

Bohemian and bohemian chic wall light: rattan, bamboo and fabric

Woven rattan, bamboo and fabric filter the light and draw patterns on the wall. The round woven rattan shade, in E27, is fitted near a sofa or as a bedside light, with a dining room or living room feel. These pieces pair with beige and light brown, and age well if dusted dry.

Design WC wall light and toilet wall light: the small formats

In a toilet or a small room, a compact, bright model in aluminium or steel is enough. The wall light is fitted above eye level or to the side, to light without taking up space. The ball wall lights and the glass and brass globes, in E14, fit within about fifteen centimetres of depth. For a workspace, see the office wall lights.

Which colours go with a brown wall light?

Brown pairs with beige, off-white, gold and soft greens; a complementary colour to brown such as petrol blue or terracotta creates a sharp contrast. For a chic country wall light feel, a dark brown frame is paired with a light wall and natural materials such as wood and linen.

Which complementary colour to brown should you pair with a light wall?

On a white or beige wall, petrol blue and sage green bring out the brown frame, while gold and brass create a warm match rather than a contrast. A brown and beige wall light blends into the decor and lets the light speak; a dark brown wall light structures the wall and marks the line of sight.

Chic country wall light, brown beige or dark brown

The chic country wall light feel combines a brown frame with wood, rattan and linen, with a warm white light around 2700 to 3500 K. Brown beige brightens a small room, dark brown stands out on a light wall. The gold wall lights and the white wall lights vary the match without changing the room.

How do you install and care for a brown wall light?

A wall light is fitted above eye level in a hallway, and at shoulder height for reading light near the bed or sofa. Cleaning is done dry on wood and felt, with a soft cloth on glass and aluminium.

At what height should you install a wall light?

In a hallway, place it above eye level to avoid direct glare; near a bed or sofa, seated shoulder height suits reading. On a staircase, keep the same height from the bottom to the top of the flight. An E27 or G9 model is then adjusted through the chosen bulb, in warm white around 2700 to 3500 K depending on the mood you want.

Cleaning a glass, wood or aluminium wall light

Glass and aluminium are cleaned with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp microfibre, with no abrasive product. Wood and felt are dusted dry, with a soft brush; the metal models take a non-abrasive microfibre. Rattan and fabric do not take moisture. Cut the power before any work on the connection.
