Cloud wall light

Plan one cloud wall light per wall you want to dress: above the bed, above the desk, in the stairwell. This rounded wall light spreads a soft glow, with integrated LED or an E14 socket depending on the model, in warm white or neutral white. The whole selection is IP20 and is meant for dry rooms.

What is a cloud wall light and what light does it spread?

A cloud wall light is a wall fixture whose shade takes the rounded shape of a cloud. In this selection, it lights with an integrated LED or an E14 socket, in warm white or neutral white depending on the model, with an IP20 rating reserved for dry rooms. The result stays diffuse, never aimed at the eyes.

Cloud LED wall light: an integrated source that cannot be changed

Most models in the selection run on integrated LED, at 5 W for the wooden versions. The source cannot be replaced: the whole wall light stays in service, which saves buying a bulb but means choosing the right shade when you order. For a hallway or entrance lit often, this LED wall lighting uses little power and gives off little heat. A few models take a screw bulb E14, changeable at will.

Wood cloud wall light or metal cloud wall light: two ways of rendering light

Wood filters the light and sends it back as a soft halo, in neutral white around 3500 to 4500 K; for E14 glass, the temperature depends on the bulb. Metal, set up as indirect diffusion, throws the light onto the wall or ceiling in warm white, around 2700 to 3500 K, and measures only 4.4 cm thick. Both families appear in our full range of lighting; to compare formats, browse the wall lights and wall lamps.

Which cloud wall light for a child or baby bedroom?

For a child bedroom, the wooden cloud wall light is fixed above the bed or the desk and spreads a 5 W LED in neutral white. The blue and white or pink and white versions measure 18.5 cm high, 53 cm wide and 12 cm deep: a wide format that dresses the wall without hanging low.

Cloud wall light for a child bedroom: where exactly to place it?

Above the head of the bed, a wall light is usually placed 1.20 m or 1.30 m from the floor, high enough not to meet the eye of a lying child. Above a desk, allow rather 1.50 m to light the worktop without casting a shadow. Three finishes exist: the wooden cloud wall light for a child bedroom in white, the blue and white model and the pink and white version. Other formats are gathered in the bedroom selection.

Cloud wall light for a baby: a soft light for bedtime

In a baby bedroom, the light must not reach the eyes from the bed. The wooden cloud shape sends the flow back onto the wall, which lets you leave the wall light on during bedtime without dazzling. The neutral white stays readable for an adult moving around the room. One wall source is enough in a small bedroom; no need to multiply them.

Which cloud wall light to light a living room, a hallway or a staircase?

In a living room, a hallway or a staircase, the indirect metal models light by bouncing onto the wall or ceiling in warm white. The combined wall light and ceiling light set comes in diameters from 30 to 60 cm to cover a large volume. The dimmer equips some of the metal models. The collection holds 26 products.

Living room wall light: lighting without dazzling

An indirect wall light placed on a side wall lights the room with grazing light, with no bright point in line with the sofa. The adjustable indirect halo in white, gold or black metal fills this role, alone or alongside a ceiling light. Find other setups in the living room wall lights.

Staircase wall light: marking the descent

On a staircase, better to light the step than the void. An indirect wall light fixed on the stringer wall, at about mid height, lights the way without dazzling the person going down. Alternate one wall light every two or three metres in a long hallway: the hallway series and the staircase range share the same finishes, which keeps a continuous line.

How to get powerful lighting with an LED wall light?

A powerful LED wall light is recognised by its ability to light a wide area rather than a point. Here, the indirect metal models spread in warm white towards the wall, and the E14 socket model takes a bulb up to 25 W. The dimmer equips some of the models.

Warm white or neutral white: which temperature to choose?

In general, a warm white around 2700 to 3500 K suits relaxation rooms and circulation areas in the evening, while a neutral white around 3500 to 4500 K stays clearer for reading or working. A home benefits from keeping a single temperature per floor, otherwise the gap shows from one room to the next. The modern wall lights in the selection go rather for indirect warm white.

Dimmer on a wall light: what is it for?

On some metal models, the dimmer lets you lower the intensity in the evening without switching off. It is useful in a living room or a staircase used late. Check on the model sheet that the function is indeed there before ordering, not all of them have it.

How to install and care for a cloud wall light on the wall?

The cloud wall light is fixed on a flush box or a wall bracket, with a supply meant for dry rooms. The wooden models measure 12 cm deep, the Skyku glass model 37 cm, while the indirect metal models are only 4.4 cm thick. A soft cloth is enough for care.

At what height should a wall light be placed?

There is no single height: it all depends on the use. A reading wall light is usually placed between 1.10 m and 1.30 m from the floor, an ambient wall light above a piece of furniture rather around 1.50 m. On a staircase, follow the slope while staying away from the handrail. On a bare hallway wall, a regular alignment matters more than the exact height.

IP20: what it allows as a room

The IP20 rating protects against contact with fingers and against dust, not against water splashes. All the wall lights in this collection can therefore go in a bedroom, living room, hallway, staircase, entrance, dressing room and toilets. For a damp room, look for a higher rating. Other dry room models are listed in the indoor wall lights.

Wall light for toilets, WC and outdoor: what to check?

All the cloud wall lights in this collection are IP20, which means they are meant for dry rooms: bedroom, living room, hallway, staircase, entrance, dressing room and toilets. For an outdoor area or a room very exposed to damp, you need a watertight wall light with a higher protection rating.

Designer WC wall light: which format to choose?

In a toilet, a compact format works better than a large shade. The glass cloud wall light measures 23.8 cm high by 37 cm wide: its glass and plastic structure lets the light through without darkening it, and its E14 socket takes a bulb up to 25 W. Place it above the washbasin or facing the door. Other models in glass wall lights complete the series.

Watertight outdoor wall light: why IP20 is not enough

Outside, rain and run-off require a protection rating clearly higher than IP20, which does not resist splashes. An outdoor wall light is therefore chosen on this criterion before aesthetics. For a bathroom, also look at the installation zone: the area around the washbasin stays less exposed than the shower, but caution is still needed. The models in the bathroom selection are designed for these rooms.

Which style of original wall light to adopt: bohemian, country chic or modern?

The cloud shape gives a bohemian and childlike spirit, the glass finish plays the decorative card, and the white, gold or black metal models fit into a modern interior. A country chic wall light goes well with light wood and the natural materials already present in the room.

Bohemian chic wall light: playing with natural materials

The formula holds in a few elements: a light wood wall light, a plain wall, a warm light. The pink or blue colour of the child model works very well on a white wall, as long as you do not stack other light sources in the same area. To stay in the register, the metal models in a light finish also work, especially the gold version.

Applying country chic style with a wall light

The country chic style rests on light tones and raw materials. A white or gold cloud wall light on a stone, light brick or panelling wall finds its place without forcing. Black, on the other hand, stands out more and goes better with a modern interior: see the black finishes and the white models to compare.

How to harmonise several cloud wall lights in the same home?

The simplest is to keep one family of materials and a single light temperature per floor, then vary the formats: a single wall light in circulation areas, combined wall light and ceiling light in large rooms. White, gold and black stay available on the indirect metal models.

Pairing a cloud wall light and an indirect ceiling light

The wall light and ceiling light set repeats the same shape and the same finish on the wall and the ceiling: the light layers without clashing, and the volume looks taller. Allow one set for a living room, single wall lights in circulation areas. Other ideas are gathered in our lighting.

Mixing white, gold and black finishes

A single finish per floor avoids the mismatched effect. If you mix, keep the material common and change only the colour, for example white metal upstairs and black metal on the ground floor. The rule also applies to the light shade, which must stay identical across a whole landing.
