Description
This is a slim wall and picture light in satin black, measuring 35cm across, with a shallow head that leans out over whatever sits beneath it. Two G9 capsules do the work, and they come supplied, giving a crisp 4000K cool white that reads clean rather than yellow. A small toggle switch sits on the body, so the light can be turned on and off where it hangs. It dims too, given a suitable dimmer on the circuit, so it can be pulled back to a low glow in the evening.
We reach for this one above framed prints, oils and watercolours, where a downward wash picks out brushwork and paper texture without spilling across the wall. It works just as well over a mirror, along a hallway of family photographs, or above a run of shelves in a study. Cool white suits detail and colour accuracy, which makes it a sensible pick for artwork you actually want to look at rather than simply light. The toggle is handy in a bedroom or on a landing, where reaching the fitting is easier than crossing the room to a switch.
Satin black is a forgiving finish; it keeps the fitting quiet against a pale wall and lets it recede against a darker one. Keep it clean with an occasional pass of a dry duster over the head and arm, with the power off and the capsules cold; nothing wet, and no sprays near the lamp sockets. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same design in a longer size for wider canvases, and in satin nickel and antique brass if black feels too stark for the room. Capsules are included.

Frequently Asked
Do I need to buy lamps for it?
No. It arrives with two G9 LED capsules fitted, and they are replaceable when the time comes.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, on a suitable dimmer. No dimmer is supplied with the light, so one will need to be chosen for LED loads.
How far does it come off the wall?
The projection is 220mm and the overall height is 125mm, across a width of 350mm.
What is the light quality like?
It is 4000K cool white, a neutral, slightly crisp light that shows colour and fine detail well on artwork.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry rooms such as halls, bedrooms, studies and living rooms.
What is the maximum lamp wattage?
Each G9 socket takes up to 33W, though the supplied LED capsules draw far less than that.
