Artisan 2 Light Up Down Wall Light - Black Textured Aluminium

The Artisan is a 200mm cylindrical up-down wall light with a textured black aluminium body and twin GU10 fittings, one firing light upward and one downward. The fine diagonal texturing across the aluminium surface diffuses and softens the light as it exits the top and bottom apertures, creating a controlled wash up and down the wall rather than harsh spots.

Designed for architectural accent lighting in hallways, feature walls, staircases and lobbies, the Artisan works where directional wash light is needed to highlight wall texture or frame a doorway. The 54mm diameter cylinder projects 67mm from the wall on a circular black backplate. The up-down configuration balances light distribution and avoids the visual weight of a single-direction spotlight. Each GU10 fitting accepts up to 10W per lamp (sold separately), giving flexibility to choose warm white, cool white or dimmable LED bulbs depending on room context.

The black aluminium construction is rated IP20, limiting the fitting to dry interior locations away from bathrooms and outdoor exposure. The textured finish is applied directly to the metal body and is resistant to minor knocks and handling marks during installation. Maytoni produces the Artisan as part of a wider black aluminium architectural lighting range, allowing the fitting to be paired with matching downlights, ceiling spots and linear track systems where a consistent visual language is needed across multiple rooms.

Product Manual

What bulbs does the Artisan take?

The fitting takes two GU10 bulbs up to 10W each, sold separately. Most installations use warm-white LED GU10s between 3W-6W and 2700K-3000K for wall wash effect. The bulbs are accessed by removing the textured cylinder body from the backplate.

Can it be used in bathrooms or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry indoor rooms only. It is not rated for outdoor exposure.

What spacing is recommended when installing multiple Artisan wall lights?

For corridor or hallway installation, a spacing of 1.5-2.5m between fittings typically provides even wall wash coverage without creating dark gaps or overlapping hotspots. Exact spacing depends on ceiling height and bulb wattage.

Is the light dimmable?

Dimming capability depends on the GU10 bulbs installed. The fitting itself is compatible with dimmable bulbs when paired with a trailing-edge dimmer switch rated for LED loads.
