Description
The Rigoberta is a modern wall light made of three opal glass discs on a slim iron frame in matt black. The frame forms a clean T shape: a short arm rises to one disc at the top, and a longer bar carries a disc at each end. Each disc shade is 8cm across and sends its light back onto the wall, so you see a soft, indirect glow around the glass rather than a bright point. The fitting is 29cm tall and 45cm wide, and it projects just 9cm from the wall, which keeps it neat in a narrow hallway or beside a bed. Its lamp cap is GX53, so that is the lamp type to choose.
Because the light washes the wall rather than the room, the Rigoberta works best as mood lighting: along a hallway or landing, either side of a bed, over a sideboard in a dining room, or on a living room wall where you want a gentle glow in the evening. The opal glass discs read like graphic dots against the wall, so it suits a modern scheme, and the matt black frame draws a crisp outline on pale paintwork. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry rooms only. It is an on-off switched fitting, so you control it from an ordinary switch rather than a dimmer.
The structure is iron with a matt black finish, and the shades are opal glass, which softens the light into an even glow. It runs on 220-240V mains, so it is one for a qualified electrician to install, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, we like it on its own as a focal point on a plain wall, or repeated at the same height along a corridor, where the three discs make a neat pattern from one end to the other.
