Start by counting the room and its use: a glass ball or oval for a soft, enveloping light in the bedroom and living room, a tube or linear shape for a short wall. Then check the socket (E14, E27, G4, G9), the protection rating and the light temperature before choosing a model.

Which glass wall light should you choose for each room?
In this collection, the bedroom and living room come first, ahead of the bathroom and hallway. For a living room, a ball or oval glass wall light spreads a soft, enveloping glow; on a short wall or in a hallway, go for a tube or linear design, which is more discreet.
Living room wall light
Two wall lights placed either side of a shelf or sofa are enough to create accent lighting without touching the ceiling light. A frosted glass ball or oval softens the light, while smoked glass stays discreet on the wall during the day. Glass features on every model in the collection, while the metal or aluminium frame holds the colour and the fixing. The living room lighting range brings these formats together in several glass shades.
Bedroom wall light
In the bedroom, a wall light frees up the bedside table and replaces the bedside lamp. A glass ball wall light for the bedroom measures 42 x 26 cm, combines metal, glass, iron and fabric, uses a G4 socket and accepts a dimmer to lower the light. A headboard reading light goes either side of the bed, at shoulder height, so you can read without waking your partner.
| Room | Recommended glass shape | Available protection | Light temperature | What it changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Ball, oval, round | IP20 | Warm white 2700 to 3500 K | Soft light for reading and getting up |
| Living room | Ball, oval, discs, arc | IP20 | Warm white or cool white depending on use | Accent lighting and highlighting the wall |
| Bathroom | Round, tube, ball | IP20 or IP65 | Warm white 2700 to 3500 K | Lighting for dry areas |
| Hallway | Linear, tube | IP20 | Warm white | Discreet marker along the wall |
| Stairs | Tube, linear, discs | IP20 | Warm white | Guides you up the steps |
| Outdoor | Round | IP65 | Warm white or cool white | Withstands outdoor exposure |
What is the glass on a wall light called?
The glass on a wall light is named after its finish: frosted or opal glass when it diffuses the light without dazzling, smoked or coloured glass when it tints it, ribbed or blown glass when its surface is worked. The choice depends on the effect you want more than on the technique.
Blown glass wall light
Blown glass keeps the marks of its making, with bubbles and uneven thicknesses, which breaks up the light and creates reflections that change with the hour. On a gold frame, the effect is immediate. Opal glass, by contrast, diffuses a white, even light without casting shadows on the wall. These finishes sit well alongside a white wall light in a bright interior.
Ribbed glass wall light
Vertical ribs stretch the light into fine bands and dress a bare wall without overloading it: a ribbed glass wall light stands out as much switched off as on. A contemporary model in smoked or ribbed glass with a black frame keeps that graphic line. For a rounder volume, the ball shaped glass remains the most enveloping. The same finish runs from one light fitting to another across the selection.
Which powerful LED wall light for a bright living room?
The useful power depends on the room: a 5 to 10 W LED wall light is enough for accent lighting, while a large living room wall calls for a more powerful model, up to 30 or 40 W in the collection. Light temperature matters as much as the stated power.
Powerful LED wall light
Power is not everything: the shape of the diffuser and the direction decide what reaches the wall and the floor. An 18 W integrated LED wall light gives wide coverage with no bulb to change, while an E27 socket wall light rated at 40 W covers a large stretch of wall. A wall lamp for the bedroom makes do with 5 to 12 W. To compare sockets before ordering, browse all the wall lights.
Warm white or cool white: which to choose?
Warm white (2700 to 3500 K) dominates the collection and suits relaxing rooms: bedroom, living room in the evening, bathroom. Cool white (4500 to 6500 K) gives a crisp result for a hallway, staircase or outdoor wall. A model that accepts both temperatures, such as several G4 socket wall lights, leaves the choice open at the time of installation.
| Criterion | What the collection offers | What to remember when choosing |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Glass on every model, frame in metal, aluminium, iron or acrylic | Glass diffuses, the frame structures and holds the colour |
| Socket | E14, E27, G4, G9 or integrated LED | The socket dictates the bulb you need |
| Light temperature | Warm white 2700 to 3500 K, cool white 4500 to 6500 K, neutral white | Warm for relaxing, cool for a crisp result |
| Shapes | Ball, tube, round, oval, square | Ball for volume, tube for a narrow wall |
| Colours | Black, white, gold, grey, silver | Gold for a warm feel, black for a graphic look |
| Protection rating | Mostly IP20, IP65 on outdoor models | IP65 if there are water splashes or it is fitted outside |
Which wall light for a toilet, a bathroom or outdoors?
For a toilet or bathroom, most models in the collection are IP20 and suit dry rooms. If the fitting is exposed to splashes or fitted outside, choose an IP65 model such as the round outdoor wall light, designed for outdoor use.
Designer WC wall light
A toilet makes do with a compact wall light, round or tube shaped, whose glass diffuses without dazzling when you look up. A short format such as Dila, a compact metal and glass design (18 cm, E14 socket) goes above the basin or near the door. A bathroom wall light in warm or cool white keeps a crisp result on a tiled wall.
Weatherproof outdoor wall light
Outside, IP65 protects against rain and splashes, where IP20 models stay indoors. Halo, the IP65 outdoor version, combines metal, glass, aluminium and acrylic in a 17 x 10 cm format, with an 18 W integrated LED, in warm or cool white. On a terrace, this outdoor wall light can be fitted alone or in pairs.
How do you light a staircase or hallway with a wall light?
In a staircase or hallway, a glass wall light acts as a marker: a slim tube or linear model, fitted at hand height, works better than a large ball. Several wall lights spread out are better than a single very powerful point.
Staircase wall light
Lighting a flight of stairs is done by repetition: the same model in warm white, repeated at regular intervals from bottom to top. To light a staircase, a shallow format avoids catching people as they pass. The graphite glass linear light is 3 cm thick, with an E14 socket and 10 W, so it fits through a narrow stairwell. Smoked glass blends into a light wall and avoids a fairy-light effect.
Which format for a narrow hallway?
In a hallway, format matters more than power: a tube or linear model stays within the thickness of the wall, while a ball projects and catches the eye. A dimmable model lets you lower the intensity in the evening without switching it off. The hallway and entrance range brings together the same marker logic in warm white light.
Which style and glass colour for an original wall light?
Style is played out in the colour of the glass and the frame: smoked glass or glass and brass for a boho chic feel, black and graphite for a more contemporary result, green or amber glass for a vintage touch, in a country chic wall light spirit.
Glass and brass wall light
A gold or brass frame warms a clear or amber glass and works well in a room with cream tones. The gold finishes range from discreet gold to more worked metal. Also look at the brass wall light for a more matt result that keeps its shade over time.
Boho chic wall light
Heor, with a hotel room feel, comes in amber, green, smoked or grey glass, on a metal and iron frame, with an E27 socket, in lengths of 40 and 79 cm. For a living room, Delo and its glass discs lines up several discs over 61.5 cm, with integrated LED. These two approaches create an original wall light without multiplying light sources on the wall.
How do you install and care for a glass wall light?
The wall light is fixed at hand height when it lights a passage, a little higher when it lights a room, and either side of the headboard for reading. Check the socket before ordering: E14, E27, G4 or G9 depending on the model.
At what height should a wall light be installed?
The height follows the use: in a circulation area (hallway, staircase, entrance), it goes at hand height to mark the way; in a living room, a little higher to light without dazzling; on either side of a bed, at shoulder level once seated. Your gaze should fall on the wall, never into the glass. For living rooms, indoor wall lighting covers these three cases.
How do you care for the glass and change a bulb?
Clean the glass when cold, with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive product, so as not to mark the finish. Check the socket: E14 and E27 for a screw bulb, G4 and G9 for a pin bulb, integrated LED on some models, with no replacement needed. A dimmable model is then controlled from the existing switch.
How do you make wall lighting original without getting it wrong?
An original wall light is chosen for its shape and its light, not for the effect: a glass disc, a single ball or a graphic shade is enough to personalise a wall. For a modern living room, a fine line in black or smoked glass remains the safe choice.
Original wall light
A model that stands out often comes down to a detail: stacked discs, a single ball, a lone circle, a glass drop. The collection leans clearly towards contemporary and modern, with a black or white frame most of the time. Black wall lights give a bolder, more graphic line than a light frame, while a glass ball used alone plays on softness.
Modern living room wall light
In a modern living room, the line matters more than the volume: a tube, a linear model or a thin disc works with a painted wall, a low sofa and light wood flooring. A modern living room wall light can be fitted in twos for a long wall, or alone above a piece of furniture. Budget is relative, between affordable models and more elaborate pieces.

Frequently asked questions about glass wall lights
Which wall light should you choose?
Start with the room and its use: the bedroom and living room call for soft light, a hallway or staircase for a slim model that acts as a marker. Then look at the socket (E14, E27, G4 or G9), the protection rating and the light temperature, then the colour of the glass.
What is the glass on a wall light called?
Depending on its finish, we talk about frosted or opal glass when it diffuses the light, smoked or coloured glass when it tints it, ribbed or blown glass when its surface is worked. These terms describe the surface of the glass, not a brand or a label.
Which weatherproof outdoor wall light should you choose?
For outdoors, look for an IP65 model, suited to exposure to the weather, such as the round outdoor wall light in the collection. IP20 wall lights are reserved for dry indoor rooms. Also look at the material: aluminium and metal cope better with temperature swings.
Which powerful LED wall light for a living room?
In the collection, power ranges from a few watts for accent lighting to 30 or 40 W to cover a large living room wall. A well-directed LED wall light gives more light than a poorly distributed model: look at the shape of the diffuser as much as the stated power.
Is a glass wall light suitable for a bathroom?
Yes, the collection includes glass wall lights suited to the bathroom, in IP20 for dry areas. If the fitting is close to a shower or exposed to splashes, go for an IP65 model, designed for outdoor use and damp rooms.
