Wall Lights

In a living room, hallway or entryway, place it between 1.60 and 1.80 m from the floor, just above eye level to avoid glare. Above a bed, allow 1.20 to 1.50 m from the floor and 15 to 20 cm on each side of the bed. On a staircase, keep the same height above the steps, following the slope.

A hardwired wall light connects to a cable outlet in the wall: the installation is invisible, but it needs an existing light point. Without a wall outlet, choose a model with a cable and plug, or a rechargeable wall light you can fix anywhere, with no work. The type of connection is listed on each product page.

Near the shower or bath, choose an IP44 model at minimum, protected against water splashes. Above a mirror, a neutral white light (3000 to 4000 K) renders skin tones better. The IP rating of each model is listed on its product page.

A sheltered wall needs at least IP44, a wall exposed to rain rather IP65. For an entrance or a path, a motion sensor avoids leaving the light on. Our outdoor wall lights come in black metal, with slats, with a sensor, or in travertine for a warmer look.

A wall light that shines up and down, or one with a frosted glass globe, gives soft ambient light, ideal in a living room or hallway. For reading in bed, choose an adjustable head or a shade that directs the light. In a bedroom or living room, a warm 2700 K light remains the most comfortable.
