What is an LED wall light for bedroom and what light does it give?

An LED wall light for bedroom is a fixture fixed to the wall that lights a precise area rather than the whole room: headboard, reading corner or mirror. In this selection, all run on LED, with a power of 8, 10 or 15 W depending on the model, in E27, G9, GU10, GX53 or E14 sockets.

Why move the bedside light to the wall?

A wall light, a bedroom fixture, frees the surface of the bedside table, which holds a book, a glass or an alarm clock without being cluttered by a lamp base. The beam leaves the wall and drops onto the page, lighting your reading without dazzling the person already in bed, and you get a light point on each side of the bed with no cable on the floor. The most elaborate shapes are found in our designer LED wall lights. To place the full family, browse our entire lighting range.

Which light colour for a bedroom or a living room?

The light colour for a living room or a bedroom is chosen according to the time of day: a warm tone sets the evening mood, a more neutral light supports reading. As a rule, warm whites stay in a bedroom and cooler whites are reserved for workspaces. Here, the mood is set by the bulb chosen in the socket, which leaves you in control of the atmosphere. To light the living area too, LED wall lights for living room follow the same logic.

Which wall light for a bedroom?

For a bedroom, choose a wall light whose socket matches the use: E27 or E14 for a diffuse light above a piece of furniture, G9, GU10 or GX53 for a more focused light towards reading. The powers available here range from 8 to 15 W, with a 5 year warranty across the whole selection.

LED wall light for a child's bedroom: what precautions?

Ball and tube shapes, in glass or ceramic, wipe clean in one stroke and stand up to small hands. Fix the fixture out of the child's reach and allow for IP20, sufficient in a dry room, except right next to a water point. A wall light, a child's bedroom lamp, then replaces the bedside lamp placed on the floor, where it ends up falling.

Powerful LED wall light: when to choose it?

In this selection, the most powerful models are 15 W: they suit a large bedroom, a desk corner or a dressing room where you need to see clearly to work. Above the bed, a directed and adjustable beam is better than a wide light: two well aimed 8 W points light better than a single one that is too strong.

Where to install an LED wall light in the bedroom?

The wall light is placed at the shoulder height of a person sitting up in bed and offset to each side rather than centred, to avoid glare. It also works in a hallway, an entrance or a toilet, where it replaces a ceiling light while taking up far less space.

At what height should a wall light be placed above the headboard?

Offset the two wall lights towards the outside of the bed rather than centring them, and place them at the shoulder height of a seated person, often around 1.10 m to 1.20 m from the floor, out of the field of vision once lying down. Check that there is a power supply behind the wall before drilling. The NOX 2 with built-in switch saves you searching for the switch on the floor.

Bedroom, hallway or WC: where does a wall light make sense?

In a small space, a wall light replaces a ceiling light, clears the passage and lights the exact spot where you stand. Hallway wall lights handle night-time movement, and the references designed for small spaces such as toilets make do with one bulb and a few centimetres of depth.

How to choose the socket and material of an LED wall light?

The socket defines the format of the light source: E27 and E14 are the most common in this selection, ahead of G9, GU10 and GX53, which are more discreet on the wall. As for material, steel and aluminium dominate, followed by glass, wood and ceramic.

E27, E14, G9, GU10 or GX53 socket: which to choose for a bedroom?

A very flat socket such as GX53 keeps the fixture close to the wall, perfect above a bed: AURA, flat GX53 format, sits at only 10 cm deep.

Steel, aluminium, wood or ceramic: which material for the bedroom?

Steel comes first, ahead of aluminium, then glass, wood and ceramic. Steel suits modern, minimalist or industrial style, aluminium stays understated, glass adds shine. For a softer feel, look at the wood models for the bedroom, or the rattan versions, which warm up a white wall.

Which LED to choose for a bedroom?

Choose the LED according to function: an 8 W model is enough for fill-in lighting above a bedside, 10 W for a headboard, 15 W for a large bedroom or a desk corner. The whole selection is LED, rated IP20 for dry indoor use, and a few models are IP44 for damp rooms.

IP20 or IP44: which protection for a bedroom wall light?

In a dry room, IP20 is enough. Near a washbasin or in a child's bedroom where splashes were a worry, the ZORI IP44 in ceramic and glass and the HALO IP44 in aluminium and glass hold up well. The rest of the IP44 protected references follow the same requirement.

Dimmer and brightness: which models are dimmable?

Only a small share of the models accept a dimmer, which changes everything in the evening: the same wall light brightens for reading, then dims to accompany you to bed. The FLASH 2, dimmable, in white steel with an E27 socket, illustrates this comfort. If you do not dim, a low brightness bulb in an E27 socket does the same job.

Should you have a wall light, an LED ceiling light or a chandelier?

A wall light lights a precise area, an LED ceiling light or an LED chandelier lights the whole room: the two complement each other rather than compete. In a bedroom, the wall light is often enough above the bed, while a large chandelier for a high ceiling keeps its place in a living room or an entrance.

LED ceiling light or living room wall lights: how to combine them?

The LED ceiling light provides general light, the wall light lights where you sit, read or work. In a living room, a powerful LED ceiling light combined with two low wall lights gives a room usable at any hour. LED wall lights for living room also use the same sockets and finishes as those in the bedroom.

Large chandelier for a high ceiling and LED chandelier: when to keep a central fixture?

Under a high ceiling or in a reception room, the central fixture brings the luminous volume that a wall light cannot provide. A living room chandelier drops into the room and becomes a visible feature, while a wall light stays as close as possible to the use. Many interiors keep both: the chandelier for entertaining, the wall light for living.

How to install and maintain an LED wall light?

Cut the power at the circuit breaker, locate the incoming cables, then fix the mounting plate to the wall before connecting and closing the cover. For maintenance, a soft cloth is enough on steel, aluminium and glass, a feather duster on wood. The selection is guaranteed for 5 years.

How to fit a wall light without damaging the wall?

Locate the incoming cables precisely before drilling, hold the mounting plate in place, mark the holes, then screw into plugs suited to the surface. Connecting a wall light means cutting the power at the circuit breaker and respecting live and neutral. If in doubt about the circuit, call an electrician. If the wall cannot be opened, wire-free wall lights can be fixed without channelling.

How to maintain a wall light and make it last?

Unplug it or cut the power, then wipe steel, aluminium and glass with a soft cloth. On wood, use a feather duster and avoid any abrasive product that dulls the surface. Ceramic takes a well wrung damp cloth. Cleaning a wall light twice a year is enough to preserve the finish, and changing the bulb for one of identical power avoids overheating.

How to match a wall light to the room's decor?

Pick up the dominant material and colour of the room: white, black, beige, brown and green are the shades most present in the selection, from modern to minimalist, Scandinavian, industrial or rustic style. Two identical wall lights on either side of the bed create a symmetry calmer than a single model.

Modern kitchen decor: what consistency to keep with the bedroom?

The same family of materials and shades links adjoining rooms, entrance, hallway and open kitchen, to the bedroom. A modern kitchen decor in steel and white can therefore continue into the hallway and then the bedroom without visual break. For the kitchen, wall lights to illuminate a worktop favour directed beams, and the vintage style for kitchen works very well with a wood and black entrance.

Pair of wall lights, symmetry and colours: how to compose?

White and black dominate, followed by beige, brown and green: in a light bedroom, two white wall lights fade away, and two black models draw focal points. For a touch of material, BULBO in wood and glass brings a warm ring. Remember a matching entrance light to extend the harmony from the threshold.
