Description
Cast in gypsum and finished in a paintable white, this slim cylinder sends light both up and down from a narrow column, giving a wall two soft pools rather than one flat wash. Two GU10 lamps sit behind the open ends, each taking up to 25W. The plaster surface can be left as it comes or painted in the same shade as the wall behind it, so the fitting settles into the plasterwork instead of standing apart from it.
It is one we reach for in pairs, either side of a bed or spaced along a hallway, where the twin beams draw a rhythm up the wall. It also does quiet work on a stair wall, beside a chimney breast, or on a narrow landing where a wider shade would crowd the space. There is no switch on the body, so it runs from the room's own wall switch or circuit, and it will dim happily provided the lamps you choose are dimmable. We would put a small LED reflector lamp in each end for a tidy, controlled beam.
Gypsum gives the piece its chalky, matt surface and a reassuring density in the hand, and the shape is kept plain so nothing competes with the light itself. Keep a soft dusting brush for the surface; plaster does not take kindly to water or solvents, and small marks are better painted over than scrubbed. It carries a one year warranty. The range runs wider than this cylinder alone: we also stock oval, square, round and sphere wall lamps in the same paintable gypsum, along with cone, cylinder, rectangular and dome pendants, so a hall and a stairwell can be dressed from one family. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How big is it on the wall?
The cylinder is 75mm across and 200mm tall, with a projection of 90mm from the wall face, so it keeps close in tight corridors.
Which lamps does it take?
Two GU10 lamps, one firing up and one down. A 50mm LED reflector lamp is the sensible choice, rated no higher than 25W each.
Can I dim it?
Yes, so long as the GU10 lamps you fit are dimmable and matched to a compatible dimmer. The fitting itself has no switch on the body.
Can I really paint it?
Yes. The gypsum is supplied in a paintable white and takes emulsion well, which is how most people match it to the surrounding wall.
How should I clean it?
Dust the surface with a soft dry brush. Avoid damp cloths and cleaning sprays, as plaster absorbs moisture and can mark.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. This is an IP20 fitting for dry rooms such as bedrooms, halls and living spaces.
