What is a wall lamp?

A wall lamp is any light fixture mounted on a wall rather than standing on the floor or a surface, or hanging from the ceiling. The category covers several formats with different purposes: decorative sconces, adjustable swing-arm reading lights, uplights that wash a wall, and small low-level pieces for stairs and corridors.

What is the difference between a wall lamp and a sconce?

A sconce is one type of wall lamp — typically a decorative fixture sitting close to the wall. "Wall lamp" is the broader term, and also takes in swing-arm reading lights and projecting fixtures that a sconce would not normally describe. In everyday use the two words overlap heavily, and most makers use whichever fits the piece.

Which type of wall lamp is best for reading in bed?

A swing-arm or adjustable piece, mounted so the arm reaches over the pillow and the light falls on the page rather than across the room. Around 300–500 lumens is enough. A fixed sconce can work if the shade directs light downward, but it will not adapt to how you sit, and it is worth checking whether the piece has its own switch before committing.

Can wall lamps replace bedside lamps?

Yes, and in a small bedroom they usually improve it — a pair of wall lamps frees both nightstands completely and removes two cables from the surface. The trade-offs are that the position is fixed once wired, and that you need to decide the height in advance rather than moving a lamp around until it feels right.

Can I put a wall lamp over a kitchen sink or worktop?

Yes, and a directional wall-mounted piece often lights a sink better than the ceiling fixture above it, since your body does not block the light. Choose a wipeable material — glazed ceramic, glass or metal — and keep paper, textile and untreated wood away from steam and cooking grease.

Do you have plug-in wall lamps for a rented flat?

Some pieces are supplied with a visible cord intended to run to a socket, which avoids any wiring work. Most are designed to be hardwired. The product page states which, and it is worth asking us before buying if a corded version is essential for your situation — not every studio offers one.

Are there battery-operated, rechargeable or stick-on wall lights?

Not meaningfully. Cordless and adhesive wall lighting is the territory of mass-produced fixtures, whereas these pieces are handmade in stoneware, glass, brass and wood, and need both a wired light source and a fixing suited to their weight. A rechargeable table lamp on a shelf is a better solution if wiring is genuinely impossible.

Can a wall lamp be used in a bathroom?

Only with an appropriate IP rating for the zone, and requirements vary by country — the area near a bath or shower is far stricter than a well-ventilated wall beside a mirror. These are handmade pieces intended for dry interior use, so ask our curation team before specifying anything for a bathroom.

Are wall lamps dimmable, and do they have their own switch?

Dimming depends on the piece: standard-socket fixtures usually dim with a compatible bulb and dimmer, while integrated LED designs dim only where the designer built it in. Switching depends on how the piece is fitted — hardwired lamps normally run from the room's wall switch, and only some designs include an integrated or corded inline switch.

Description

Grey Moon is a wall lamp by Anne Nowak, part of the Moon Light series, a group of light works made in collaboration with Art Group 1103.

With the light source on, the work is like a nebula encased in an iron shell. With the light source off, it is a round relief reminiscent of a distant planet. These are two very different expressions and impressions, each with its own mood.

The works are produced in Denmark and are unique and handmade. Each is made of aluminum and then hand painted by Anne Nowak, and mounts directly on the wall.

  • Setup: mounted on a wall with three flat head screws, Ø4.5–5.0 mm
  • Light source: comes with a top-mirror LED, and it is always recommended to use the same type
  • Max 15W LED · 230V · E27 socket · class II · IP20

Maintenance: wipe with a dry cloth, or if necessary with a hard-wrung cloth. Never use strong detergents or solvents.

About Anne Nowak Visit Showroom →

The works of Anne Nowak investigate the transition of life through a practice devoted to creating images and objects derived from personal memory of and from cosmos, nature, the sea, spiritual mythology and inner meditative realms. Recurrent themes are impermanence and eternity, life and death, dark and light, the sun and the moon. The inherent polarities of our existence that form the endless cycle of all beings
