Forma V2 2 Light Optical Glass Wall Light - Polished Nickel

The Forma V2 is a 2-light wall light built around a squared polished nickel backplate with twin arms extending horizontally to support faceted optical glass shades. Each shade is cut with geometric angles that refract light through the glass, creating directional pools of illumination on adjacent walls and surfaces. The fixture uses two G9 bulbs, each rated up to 33W, giving a combined maximum 66W output.

Designed for hallways, landings, bedrooms and dressing areas, the Forma V2 sits 240mm wide by 170mm tall with a 140mm projection from the wall. This compact footprint fits between doorframes and alongside mirrors without dominating narrow corridors or small wall sections. The twin-arm format balances the visual weight either side of the central backplate, making the fitting look intentional rather than lopsided when mounted above a console or next to a wardrobe.

The polished nickel finish gives a cooler, more reflective metallic tone than brass, pairing naturally with chrome taps, mirror frames and cooler-toned greys in contemporary and transitional interiors. The optical glass shades are transparent with pronounced faceting on the outer surfaces, so when the G9 bulbs are lit the light refracts through multiple angles rather than diffusing evenly like frosted glass would. This creates sharper highlights and shadow patterns on adjacent walls.

The Forma V2 wall light shares its design language with the matching Forma V2 chandelier from Impex, allowing the range to be used across multiple rooms for visual consistency. The 1.5kg weight requires fixing to solid wall construction or directly into a wooden stud — plasterboard alone will not support the load without appropriate wall plugs or toggles.

What bulb does the Forma V2 take?

The fitting takes two G9 capsule bulbs, each rated up to 33W. G9 bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with LED G9 bulbs between 3-5W in warm white (2700K-3000K) for hallway or bedroom use.

Is the Forma V2 dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the G9 bulb chosen. Most LED G9 bulbs are dimmable if paired with a compatible LED dimmer. Halogen G9 bulbs are generally dimmable with standard incandescent dimmers. Check the bulb packaging before pairing with a dimmer switch.

What wall fixings are needed?

The 1.5kg weight requires secure fixing into solid masonry, brick or directly into a wooden stud. On plasterboard walls, use appropriate cavity fixings rated to at least 2kg load capacity. The backplate covers standard UK wall light back boxes.

Can the glass shades be cleaned?

Yes. The faceted optical glass can be wiped with a soft microfibre cloth and a small amount of glass cleaner once the bulbs are removed and the fitting is switched off. Avoid soaking the metal fittings where the glass sits in the frame.
