Description
The Parrini is a compact plug-in spotlight in a textured black finish, lifted by brass finish collars at each end of its flexible arm. The body is steel and plastic, 7cm long and 10cm high, and the light stands 18cm out from the wall. It takes a GU10 bulb, and the light is rated at 345 lumens with a colour temperature of 3000K, a warm white rather than a cold, bluish tone. It is rated IP20, which settles where it lives: indoors, in rooms that stay dry.
Because it needs only a wall socket and no wiring, it suits the places where a fixed wall light is not practical: beside a bed, above a desk, in a reading corner or in a rented home where you would rather leave the walls alone. The flexible arm lets you bend the head towards exactly what you want lit, whether that is a book, a shelf of favourite things or a picture on the wall. Weighing just 0.25KG, it is a small, light presence on the wall, and its black and brass colouring looks at home against white, grey or deep painted walls.
Steel and plastic make up the body, and the textured black surface is broken only by the brass finish collars, which keep the look warm rather than stark. A rocker switch sits on the face of the plug body, so turning the light on or off is a simple press within easy reach. It runs at 220-240V, 50/60Hz, and carries an energy class of F. The installation instructions come as a PDF download, and a quick read before first use is worthwhile. As a practical note, choose a socket close to where you want the light, since the arm angles the head but the plug body stays where the socket is.

Frequently Asked
Can I use the Parrini spotlight in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for indoor rooms that stay dry, so we keep it away from bathrooms, damp areas and anywhere outdoors.
Does it need hard wiring?
No. It is a plug-in spotlight, so it goes straight into a wall socket, and a rocker switch on the plug body controls the light.
Which bulb does it take?
It takes a GU10 bulb, and the light is rated at 345 lumens with a warm colour temperature of 3000K, a cosy tone for reading and evenings.
How far does it reach out from the wall?
The light projects 18cm from the wall, while the plug body is 7cm long and 10cm high, so it stays compact beside a bed or a desk.
Can I change the direction of the light?
Yes. The arm is flexible, so you can bend it to point the spotlight head at a book, a shelf or a picture worth lighting.
What is the finish like?
The body is textured black steel and plastic, with brass finish collars at each end of the flexible arm for a warm contrast against the black.
