Black articulated wall lamp, voile shade for living room | Sparkled

The Sparkled swing arm wall lamp features a long, adjustable arm in matte black metal, ending in a generous black voile drum lampshade. It is a wall lamp with a shade designed for accent lighting: above a sofa, headboard, or reading chair, it provides an enveloping glow and a true design statement—without needing to drill into the ceiling or take up table space.

A long, adjustable arm to illuminate wherever you want

• Swing arm with long reach — adjustable from 140 to 185 cm to bring light exactly where you need it over your seating area or bed.
• Black voile lampshade Ø 60 cm — a taut fabric drum that diffuses a soft, dimmed glow without glare.
• Cord switch — black and white textile cable with a 4-level dimmer: adjust the intensity at your fingertips (with a compatible bulb).
• Contemporary matte black metal — a graphic silhouette that suits both modern interiors and bohemian settings.

A single E27 socket accommodates the bulb of your choice: create a warm ambiance above the sofa or clearer reading light by the bed. If you like this all-black graphic style, the Éclio black swing arm reading lamp plays the same tune, while the Elegant Classy with its large steel arm and Ø 60 cm black lampshade offers an even more generous reach over the sofa.

How to install your swing arm wall lamp

The wall plate (6 cm) attaches to a standard 220-240V junction box. Allow about fifteen minutes: fix the plate, connect the wires, then unfold the arm and position the voile lampshade at the desired reach (up to 185 cm). Above a sofa or headboard, aim for approximately 150 cm from the floor to the bottom of the lampshade for comfortable reading light. Always work with the power off—entrust the connection to an electrician if in doubt. To compare other formats before choosing, browse our selection of adjustable reading wall lamps.

How to maintain your lamp

Dust the metal arm and the black voile lampshade with a soft, dry cloth, or a feather duster for the taut fabric. Avoid abrasive products on the matte black finish. Turn off the power before replacing the E27 bulb. Always work with the power off. In the same cozy spirit, the Onyx black steel reading lamp with a gold-lined linen lampshade requires the same gentle care.

Swing arm wall lamp: frequently asked questions

What is the reach of the arm?

The swing arm adjusts from 140 to 185 cm in reach. This allows you to bring the lampshade closer to or further from your reading area, or fold it against the wall when the light is not needed.

Is the lamp dimmable?

Yes: the cord includes a 4-level switch-dimmer. With a dimmable E27 bulb, you can adjust the intensity from soft to full brightness directly by hand.

Which bulb should I choose?

An E27 base bulb (not included). For a reading corner, a warm white LED (2700-3000 K) emphasizes the warmth of the black voile shade; above a sofa, go for a dimmable bulb for softer lighting.

Is it suitable as a reading wall lamp above the bed?

Yes, it is one of its favorite uses. Positioned above the bed or a chair, it acts as a reading wall lamp: point the arm toward the page, lower the intensity via the cord for bedtime, and free up your bedside table. Its installation height is adjustable on the wall, without the need for a pendant or bulky lamp.

Do I need to drill the ceiling?

No. That is the main advantage of this wall lamp: it attaches to the wall, and its long swing arm replaces a ceiling pendant above the sofa or bed without any work on the ceiling.
