Description
The Rigoberta is a modern wall light built as a long straight bar with round discs set along it, a linear design that draws a clean line across the wall. It gives indirect light, throwing its glow onto the wall rather than straight into the room, and the opal glass keeps that light soft and even. The structure is iron in a matt white finish, which keeps the look quiet and lets the discs sit calmly against a painted wall. The maker gives its height as 45cm, it projects 9cm from the wall, and its shades are 8cm across.
With a projection of 9cm, it suits places where a deeper fitting would be in the way: a hallway, a landing, beside a bed or along a living room wall. Its long, flat line works well above a sideboard or a headboard, and a pair either side of a doorway or a fireplace makes a neat, balanced arrangement. The indirect glow is the kind we like for evening light, softening a room rather than flooding it, and it sits happily alongside a brighter ceiling light for the times you need more. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only.
It uses a GX53 lamp cap, a flat, low-profile cap that suits a slim wall light like this one, and it runs on 220-240V mains. It is a switched fitting, turned on and off rather than dimmed, so there is no need for a dimmer. As a mains fitting, it is for a qualified electrician to install, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. The iron frame and opal glass make for a simple, honest build. For styling, we would let the matt white melt into a white or soft neutral wall so the lit discs become the feature, or set it against a deeper paint colour where the white line stands out crisply.
