Coniston 2 Light Crystal Wall Light - French Gold

The Coniston is a 2 light crystal wall light built on a French gold frame with cascading tiers of faceted clear crystal droplets. Two E14 bulb fittings sit behind the crystal layers, directing light through the faceted surfaces to create refracted patterns on adjacent walls. The frame measures 300mm wide by 245mm high with a 180mm projection from the wall.

Designed for hallways, dining rooms and living rooms where decorative rather than task lighting is needed, the Coniston works best on walls with neutral or warm tones that allow the gold and crystal combination to stand out. The 180mm projection means the fitting needs clearance — it suits walls where furniture or door swings won't interfere with the crystal tiers. Fitting requires a standard wall back plate wired to mains voltage.

Each crystal element is individually hung on the gold frame, so the entire cascade moves slightly when air currents pass — this adds a subtle sense of movement when doors open or heating cycles shift room air. The French gold finish is warmer than polished brass, sitting closer to old gold or antique brass in tone, which pairs well with traditional interiors, period properties and transitional schemes mixing classical and contemporary elements. The 2.75kg weight needs secure wall fixing into solid masonry or a timber stud.

What bulbs does the Coniston take?

The fitting takes two E14 small Edison screw bulbs up to 20W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs at 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for a warm glow through the crystal.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, provided you fit dimmable E14 bulbs and pair them with a compatible dimmer switch on the wall circuit. The fitting itself does not restrict dimming — compatibility depends on the bulb and dimmer combination.

How far does it project from the wall?

The fitting projects 180mm from the wall to the outermost crystal tier. This means it needs clearance — check that door swings, furniture positions and foot traffic won't interfere with the crystals before installation.

Can it be fitted to plasterboard walls?

The 2.75kg weight requires secure fixing. On plasterboard walls, use cavity fixings rated for the weight or locate a timber stud behind the plasterboard. On solid masonry or brick, use appropriate wall plugs and screws.
