Wall light | Lorveseta

This wall light with a conical shade and metal arm casts a soft glow on the wall and suits a bedroom, hallway or entrance. It comes in two colourways, beige and gold or gold and purple, and joins the wall light collection.

What kind of light does this fabric wall light give?

The conical fabric shade filters the output and bounces it up and down the wall, for a soft halo rather than a sharp light. The result depends on the E27 bulb you choose, not included, up to 15 W.

• E27 socket, single bulb, 230 V mains.
• Fabric stretched over a frame, gold interior on the purple version.
• Ambient light, not a direct task light.
• Another option: the two globe opal glass wall light.

Where should you fit a brass and fabric wall light?

The manufacturer recommends it for the bedroom, living room, hallway, staircase, entrance and toilet. In a hallway or toilet, this wall light softens the light without dazzling you when you get up at night.

• IP20 rating, so dry rooms only, not a very damp bathroom.
• 22 cm deep, keep it clear of a door or mirror.
• One is enough in an entrance, a pair makes sense for staircase lighting.
• For the toilet, see also lighting for toilets.

How do you match this gold wall light with your decor?

The beige and gold finish stays understated on a light wall or subtle wallpaper, while the gold and purple version calls for a pink, terracotta or darker wall. The brass and conical shade hold the style without overwhelming the room.

• Only two colourways, chosen to suit the wall colour.
• A beige and gold wall light works on a light wall.
• Brushed brass, a round mirror and brass wall lights set each other off.
• The modern vertical bar tube wall light plays a different tune.

How do you install and care for this wall light?

It mounts on the wall, on 230 V mains, and the wiring is best left to an electrician if the light point is not there yet. Care is limited to dusting the shade dry and wiping the brass with a soft cloth, no abrasives.

• H 27 cm, W 16 cm, D 22 cm.
• CE certified, 2 year warranty.
• Bulb not included, choose an E27 15 W max.
• Mounting height, at what height should you install a wall light.
