Description
A shallow disc of cast gypsum, drawn into a soft sphere that sits close to the wall and throws light up and down its face. The surface arrives in a primed white that takes emulsion straight away, so it can be matched to the wall behind it and read as part of the plaster rather than an object hung on it. The projection is slight, so it clears a corridor without catching a shoulder. Two G9 lamps sit within the depth of the casting, and we would fit LED capsules here.
At 39cm across it suits a hallway wall, a landing, or a pair either side of a bed where a bedside lamp would take up space on the table. There is no switch on the body, so it works from a wall switch or an existing lighting circuit. It will dim if the lamps you choose are dimmable ones. We reach for it in rooms where the walls are already busy and another shade or shape would only add to the noise. Dry indoor rooms are its place; a shower room or a porch asks for something sealed.
The casting is solid gypsum with a fine white face, and it wants a dry hand: brush the dust off with a soft brush rather than a damp cloth, and keep solvents and sprays away, as the material is porous and marks can be hard to lift. If you do paint it, a matt emulsion in the wall colour gives the cleanest result. It carries a one year warranty. The range also runs to a curved rectangular version in the same paintable finish, should a horizontal line suit the wall better. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
Can I really paint over it?
Yes. It is supplied in a paintable white primer and takes ordinary emulsion, so you can match it to the wall colour. Keep the coats thin and away from the lamp holders.
Which lamps does it take, and what is the limit?
Two G9 lamps, each up to 25W. We would choose LED capsules for the lower running heat and the longer life.
Will it dim?
It will, provided the G9 capsules you fit are stated as dimmable and the circuit has a compatible dimmer switch. There is no switch on the fitting itself.
How far does it stand off the wall?
The body projects 110mm and measures 60mm tall, so it keeps a low, flat profile along a hallway or beside a bed.
How should I clean it?
A soft dry brush or a clean make-up brush lifts dust from the gypsum. Avoid water, sprays and cleaning chemicals, which can stain the surface.
Is it heavy?
No. The complete fitting weighs around 1kg.
