Sienna Wall Light - Burnished Brass

The Sienna is a burnished brass wall light with a conical metal shade angled downwards from a curved arm, mounted on a circular backplate. The single E14 bulb fitting sits exposed beneath the shade, directing light downwards and outwards through the 250mm-wide conical reflector. The burnished brass finish shows brushed grain texture with a low-sheen surface that softens reflections under both daylight and artificial light.

Designed for hallways, bedside positions, and living room accent lighting where directed task light is needed without a ceiling fitting, the Sienna suits walls with standard UK back boxes and can be dimmed when paired with a compatible E14 dimmable bulb and dimmer switch. The 150mm projection from the wall keeps the shade clear of most picture rails and dado mouldings, while the curved arm design brings the light cone away from the backplate to reduce wall shadowing.

The all-metal construction uses solid brass throughout the frame, arm, backplate and shade, giving the fitting a substantial 0.8kg weight and a presence that holds its own against larger furniture pieces. The burnished finish ages naturally over time, developing a darker patina where oils from handling and atmospheric exposure interact with the brass surface. This ageing is characteristic of natural brass and can be maintained or restored to the original tone depending on preference.

From Ideal Lux in Italy, the Sienna carries a 5-year warranty and an IP20 rating, making it suitable for dry indoor environments including bedrooms, hallways and living spaces. The E14 fitting accepts candle-style bulbs up to 40W equivalent (LED bulbs recommended), with warm white 2700K LEDs providing the closest match to the brass tone.

Is the Sienna dimmable?

Yes, the fitting itself is dimmable when paired with a compatible E14 dimmable LED bulb and a suitable dimmer switch. Non-dimmable bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail if used with a dimmer. Check bulb packaging for dimmer compatibility before purchase.

What bulb does it take?

The Sienna takes a single E14 (small Edison screw, also called SES) candle-style bulb up to 40W equivalent. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 4-6W warm white LED candle bulb at 2700K-3000K to match the brass tone.

Will the brass finish tarnish over time?

Burnished brass develops a natural patina as it ages, darkening slightly where oils from handling and atmospheric exposure interact with the metal surface. This is characteristic of natural brass and many users prefer the aged look. The finish can be maintained with brass polish if a brighter tone is preferred.

What projection is needed from the wall?

The Sienna projects 150mm from the wall surface once fitted. This allows the shade to clear most picture rails and dado mouldings while keeping the fitting relatively compact. Ensure there is sufficient clearance if fitting beside door frames or furniture.
