Moroccan wall lamp

Plan for one wall light per wall section to dress, placed at eye level or above a piece of furniture: a gold wall model in metal and glass is enough to give relief to a living room, bedroom or hallway. The whole selection shares the G9 socket, a power of 28 W and IP20 protection for indoor use.

What is a Moroccan wall light and what effect does it give on a wall?

What you are looking for under this name is a decorative wall light that dresses an interior wall rather than lighting it flatly. The selection offers it in gold metal and glass, with a flower silhouette, a 28 W G9 socket and IP20 protection for the living room, bedroom and hallway.

Moroccan wall light: gold metal and wavy glass

The effect comes from the meeting of metal and glass. When lit, the light climbs up the wall and disperses through the waves or hammered texture of the diffuser: it draws a soft pool instead of a hard point, and the gold metal reflects part of it as a halo. Two materials read here, a metal structure and a glass diffuser. To compare with other glass models, the question to ask remains the same: does the glass diffuse, or does it let through a dazzling point?

Round or flower-shaped Moroccan wall light: which silhouette on a wall?

The flower silhouette is the common thread of these models: it softens a straight wall and stands out even when switched off. A round version with a hammered globe diffuses widely around it, a version with two diffusers spreads the light over more width. This pared-back design is what you find in the modern-style wall lights, designed for a contemporary interior.

Which wall light to choose for a living room, bedroom or hallway?

You first choose according to the wall to dress and the height at which the eye meets the light. The two gold formats detailed here suit all three rooms, with a G9 socket to adjust the intensity and a hardwired installation on the wall. The collection has 6 products.

Modern living room wall light: which model on a living room wall?

In a living room, the wall behind the sofa or above a low piece of furniture calls for light that does not fall into your eyes. Wavy or hammered glass diffuses better than a very transparent globe. A pair frames a piece of furniture, a single model is enough on a bare section. The Fleurina wall light with its hammered globe plays this role in small format, alone or doubled on either side of a sofa. To go further with this type of layout, see our living room lighting.

Staircase and hallway wall light: lighting a passage without glare

In a passage, the wall light serves as a landmark more than as main lighting. It is placed at hand height, at each level, to accompany the step, and a shallow format limits snagging. Several points are better than a single light at the end of the hallway. Our selection of wall lights for a hallway and the models designed for a staircase follow this logic of repetition. In a bedroom, the same small format goes near the bed, within reach.

How to choose an original, boho chic or designer wall light?

An original wall light is recognised by its silhouette rather than its price: a flower shape, wavy or hammered glass, a gold metal that reflects the light. In the toilet, an original toilet wall light replaces the ceiling light and dresses the wall above the sink.

Boho, boho chic or country chic wall light: which wall spirit?

These three spirits share the same starting point: a supple shape and a material that comes alive under the light. Boho chic adds a more elaborate finish, and a country chic wall light spirit is found in textured glass combined with a gold tone rather than raw metal. Originality therefore does not depend on budget: among the affordable models, it is the shape that makes the difference, not the displayed price.

Original toilet wall light: dressing a narrow toilet

In a toilet, the main constraint is the projection. A small format 20 cm wide and 12 cm deep fits above a sink without getting in the way, and diffusing glass avoids harsh reflections on the mirror. A warm, contained light is better than a violent point in a small volume. For other passage or utility rooms, browse our indoor wall lights.

Round or flower Moroccan wall light: what dimensions to plan for the wall?

The formats in the selection range from about 20 cm wide for the model with the hammered globe to 31.5 cm for the one with two diffusers, with a projection of 12 to 19.5 cm. On a narrow wall, the smaller width is preferred; on a large wall section, the wider one balances better.

20 cm or 31.5 cm wide: which format for which wall?

A narrow wall, between two openings or along a hallway, better supports the 20 cm width. A large bare section, above a sideboard or a low piece of furniture, holds better with 31.5 cm: the Ondulora wall light with two diffusers then covers more luminous surface. To place the right format in a living room, compare with the wall lights placed above a sideboard, where the width is judged in relation to the furniture.

Depth of 12 or 19.5 cm: anticipating the projection

The projection decides how comfortable circulation is. Twelve centimetres fit everywhere, including in a hallway or a toilet. Nineteen and a half centimetres require clearance, especially in a stairwell or behind a door. If the passage is narrow, turn to the metal wall lights in the most contained format, and check the depth before drilling.

Do you need a powerful LED wall light or a hardwired wall light with a G9 socket?

These wall lights are hardwired and fitted with a G9 socket: it is the chosen bulb that sets the intensity and the light tone. A G9 LED bulb provides powerful light with low consumption, while leaving the possibility of returning to a softer effect. The power indicated for the light is 28 W.

G9 socket and 28 W: which bulb to plan for?

The G9 socket accepts an LED bulb as well as a classic bulb, provided the maximum indicated power is respected. A general guide helps choose the tone: around 2700 K the light is warm, towards 3000 K it becomes more neutral, and beyond 4000 K it tends towards cold white. For a hallway or a staircase, a rather warm tone remains comfortable at night. Our LED versions gather the wall lights compatible with this type of bulb.

Hardwired wall light: what it requires from the wall

A hardwired installation connects to the electrical system, on a cable outlet placed behind the fixing point. Unlike a battery model or one plugged into a socket, it therefore requires a power supply already planned at the chosen location. Plan the location before drilling and cut the power before any intervention. The light is supplied without a bulb: the tone and intensity remain your choice.

Moroccan outdoor, bathroom or brass wall light: what does this selection really allow?

The models in this selection have an IP20 protection rating: they are intended for indoor use, protected from water splashes. A waterproof outdoor wall light meets other constraints, and a very humid room such as a bathroom requires protection suited to the zone where the light is placed.

Moroccan outdoor or bathroom wall light: what IP20 allows

The IP20 rating means the light is protected against medium-sized solid bodies, but not against water. It therefore has no place on a facade, a terrace or under a canopy exposed to rain. In a bathroom, placement depends on the distance from the bathtub or shower: the closer to water, the higher the required rating. For these rooms, compare with the lights in our bathroom selection, chosen for this constraint.

Brass, wrought iron, terracotta or copper: read the material before buying

These materials often circulate around this type of light, but they do not describe this collection: here, the structure is metal and the diffuser is glass, in a gold tone. Brass, wrought iron, terracotta or copper each have their own patina and weight, and age differently over time. Before ordering, read the material sheet rather than the style name: it will tell you what you will actually have on the wall.

How to install and maintain a gold wall light?

Installing a hardwired wall light is done with the power off: locate the cable outlet, drill, fix the bracket, connect and then close up. Then clean the glass with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive products on the gold metal to preserve its shine. The warranty is 5 years.

Drill, fix, connect: the steps of a hardwired installation

Cut the power at the circuit breaker first. Locate the cable outlet, hold the bracket against the wall, mark the holes with a pencil, then drill with a bit suited to your material. Fix the plate, connect the wires according to the colour markers, put the diffuser back in place and restore the power. Check the strength of the fixing before closing up: a wall light pulls slightly on its bracket. If you are still unsure about the format or the room, our range of lights gives other layout guidelines.

Cleaning wavy glass and keeping the shine of gold metal

A soft, dry cloth is enough for the glass, a little warm water if dust persists. The waves and hammered textures hold dust in their hollows: wipe them without forcing. On gold metal, avoid abrasives, alcohol and scouring pads, which dull the finish. Cut the power before handling the light, and do not touch the bulb with bare hands if you replace it.

Why order your Moroccan wall light from Designix?

At Designix, payment is secure, delivery is tracked and returns are provided for. The selection is covered by a 5-year warranty, and customer service supports you in choosing the format as well as with installation questions once the light is received.

Secure payment, tracked delivery and returns

You pay online on a secure page, you track the progress of your order, and you have a right of return if the model does not match the intended wall. These three points matter especially for a wall light, whose effect depends on the distance and the light in the room. If you are hesitating between several finishes, also browse our wall lights for an office or our light-colour selection, to place the gold by contrast.

5-year warranty and customer service for choosing the model

The 5-year warranty covers this entire selection, which leaves time to live with the light. Before confirming, ask yourself the three right questions: what width of wall do I have to dress, at what height does the eye meet the wall light, and does a cable outlet exist at the fixing point? A contained format like the Fleurina wall light fits in a narrow room, while the Ondulora and its two diffusers better occupies a large wall section. Customer service answers these questions before and after purchase, and you can compare all the Designix wall lights before choosing.
