Description
The Gorsewell double wall light sets two ribbed and frosted glass shades on a slim satin brass backplate. It stands 415mm tall, measures just 90mm wide and projects 113mm from the wall, so it holds a vertical line without taking much space. Two 3W G9 LED lamps sit behind the glass, and at 0.6kg the whole fitting is light enough for a plasterboard wall given a suitable fixing. The ribbed glass carries the same fine vertical texture as the rest of the Gorsewell range, and the frosting keeps the output soft at eye level, which matters more on a wall light than on a ceiling fitting.
Narrow wall lights like this earn their place in a hallway, up a staircase, beside a bed, or in a pair either side of a mirror or a fireplace. We like them as bedside wall sconces where a table lamp would crowd a small nightstand, since the light sits above the clutter and leaves the surface free. The output suits ambient and background lighting rather than close reading. It is rated IP20 for dry rooms, so bathrooms are out. Satin brass reads warm against off white, greige and deep green walls alike, which makes it easy to place.
The backplate and body are metal in a satin brass finish, a surface that stays quiet under lamplight instead of flaring the way polished brass can. Construction is Class 2 and double insulated, so no earth is needed at the wall box. Keep it clean with a soft dry cloth, use a barely damp cloth on the glass for marks, and avoid abrasive creams and metal polishes on the finish. A qualified electrician should make the connection. Run a pair down a long hallway, or match it to the Gorsewell 12 light pendant in an adjoining room to hold the two spaces together.

Frequently Asked
What is this wall light made of?
Ribbed and frosted glass shades on a metal body and backplate finished in satin brass. Both the frame and the glass are the same as the rest of the Gorsewell range.
How far does it stick out from the wall?
It projects 113mm and is only 90mm wide, standing 415mm tall. That shallow profile is why it works in a narrow hallway where a wider fitting would catch shoulders.
Which bulbs does it take?
Two 3W G9 LED lamps, one behind each shade. G9 is a small two pin capsule, and the frosted glass hides the lamp itself from view.
How should I clean it?
Switch off and let the lamps cool. Dust the brass with a soft dry cloth and wipe the glass with a barely damp one, drying it before you switch back on. No solvents or abrasive creams.
Is it dimmable?
No, this one runs from a standard switch. If you want the light level to change through the evening, put a dimmable lamp elsewhere in the same room.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry rooms, so bedrooms, hallways, stairs and living rooms only.
