Green wall lamp

Start by counting the room: a green wall light serves as accent lighting in the bedroom and living room, as a guide light in the hallway and entryway. Then check the bulb base you already own and the IP20 rating, which reserves these models for indoor use.

Which green wall light should you choose for each room?

The bedroom and living room come first, ahead of the hallway, entryway and dining room. In a bedroom, the wall light replaces the bedside lamp; in a living room, it lights a reading corner or highlights a wall; in a hallway, it marks the way without glare.

For both the living room and the bedroom, start with the furniture to be lit: a bed calls for two symmetrical points, a sofa is fine with a single adjustable arm. Circulation areas are treated differently, with hallway wall lights that sit close to the wall.

What light does a green wall light give?

Green filters the light when the shade or diffuser is tinted. Part of the range is warm white at 2700 to 3500 K, more enveloping in the evening, another part is neutral white at 3500 to 4500 K, easier to read by. Bases range from E27 to G9, GU10 or E14.

Warm white or neutral white: which colour temperature?

In a bedroom or an evening living room, a warm white around 2700 to 3000 K is easier on the eye. A neutral white around 4000 K suits an entryway or a worktop better, where you want to see clearly. The choice comes down to use, before the shape of the fixture.

Which base should you plan for: E27, G9, GU10 or E14?

E27 accounts for most of the range and takes screw bulbs available anywhere. G9 and GU10, with pins, fit into slimmer volumes, while GU10 throws the beam onto a wall. E14 dresses small shades, and some models come with an integrated LED that cannot be replaced.

How do you choose an original green wall light?

An original wall light stands out by its shape: vertical tube, sphere, disc, slim box or minimalist square. Modern and minimalist styles dominate, with a few industrial and Scandinavian pieces. The vertical format dresses a narrow wall, the compact format slips in beside a door.

Contemporary models favour the tube and the square, easy to line up along the same wall. A sphere placed at the top of a flight of stairs plays the opposite card, a soft volume, like the Viridia with adjustable arm, 60 cm deep and up to 83 cm high.

How do you match a green wall light to your decor?

Black and white sit alongside green without competing, beige and taupe soften it, red and gold warm it up. A sage or olive green suits a chic country feel, a dark green suits a more graphic interior, often paired with black metal.

Which green for a chic country wall light?

Sage green, greyed and low in saturation, works best in a chic country setting: it pairs with pale wood, linen and stone. Olive green, denser, needs a pale wall so the room does not darken. A chic country wall light is chosen with a fabric shade and warm white light.

Sage green, olive green or dark green: with which colours?

Beige and taupe soften green, while red and gold warm it up. A dark green on black metal gives a more graphic interior; if you hesitate between the two, black wall lights show the same restraint.

On a wall that is already gold or brass, a pale finish extends the tone without repeating it. Above a dining table, the wall light completes the lighting: see the dining room wall lights, to be placed at the right distance from the wall.

How much power for a powerful LED wall light?

The power ratings on our product pages range from 3.5 W to 40 W depending on the model, with examples at 8, 10 and 40 W. An accent wall light is fine with 8 to 15 W, while a more generous living room wall light goes up to 40 W with an E27 base. Only a minority of models include a dimmer.

Powerful living room wall light: how much power?

In a living room, allow 10 W to highlight a section of wall, and up to 40 W if the wall light has to light a reading corner on its own. When a ceiling light already lights the room, 8 W is enough to create contrast. The living room wall lamp is therefore chosen once you have decided whether it complements or replaces the central lighting.

Can you fit a dimmer on a green wall light?

Only a small part of the range is dimmer compatible: check the model page before buying a dimmer switch. On the others, dimming has to come from the bulb itself, when it is designed for it. To compare families of fixtures, browse the full lighting catalogue.

How do you install a green wall light and at what height?

A hallway wall light is mounted at hand height, a step from the door, to light without glare. On a staircase, it is fixed at the top of the flight or on the side wall, out of reach. The whole range is IP20: indoor use only, never outdoors or in a wet area.

At what height should a wall light go in a hallway or on a staircase?

In a hallway, allow generally 1.50 to 1.70 m from the floor, which keeps the switch within reach without raising your arm. On a staircase, it is better to fix the fixture on the side wall, at landing level or at the top of the flight. Two wall lights on the same wall go at the same height, at equal distances.

Waterproof outdoor wall light: what does the IP20 rating change?

All the models in this range are IP20, so intended for indoor use, protected from water spray. A terrace or facade wall light needs a higher protection rating that these models do not offer. In a bathroom, keep the fixture away from the bath and the washbasin: see the indoor wall lights intended for those positions.

Which material and finish for a green wall light?

Metal and steel dominate the range: matt finish and easy care. Glass diffuses light and cleans with a soft cloth, velvet brings a softer material but needs regular dusting. Depending on the model, the warranty is 2 or 5 years.

Metal, steel, glass or velvet: which look and which care?

Metal and steel need only a dry cloth, with no abrasive product. Glass lets light through and diffuses it widely, which suits rooms lit at close range. Velvet holds dust and is brushed gently, as on the Verel wall light with steel arm, whose shade measures 50 cm in diameter for an adjustable reach of 115 to 145 cm.

What warranty comes with these wall lights?

The warranty runs from 2 to 5 years depending on the reference, with the longest period covering a minority of models. For an entry-level metal option, compare the metal wall lights; for a brighter result, the glass versions are the usual route.
