Write to us
At what height should I fix a wall light?
In a living room or hallway, between 1.60 and 1.80 m from the floor: the light passes above eye level without dazzling. Above a bed, allow about 30 to 40 cm above the mattress.
Do I need an electrician to fit a wall light?
If there’s already a cable outlet on the wall, wiring it is simple: switch off the power at the fuse box, connect the wires to the terminal, then fix the wall light. If in any doubt, call an electrician.
How many wall lights do you need for a hallway?
A wall light roughly every 2 to 3 metres gives even lighting. They make a narrow hallway look wider.
Wall light or bedside lamp?
A wall light frees up the bedside table and gives a softer light, directed towards the wall. It’s the ideal solution for a small bedroom.
Is one wall light enough to light a room?
A wall light is ambient lighting. To light a whole room, pair it with a pendant light or a ceiling light.
Which bulb should I choose?
For a living space, warm white (2,700 K). The fitting to use (E27, E14, G9…) is listed on each product page.
Delivery and returns?
Delivery is free across the UK, with no minimum order. You have 90 days to change your mind, and return costs are on us.

Our reading lights in detail

Height and spacing

Fit the reading light 30 to 40 cm above the mattress, around 1.20 m to 1.40 m from the floor, slightly towards the outside of the bed so the light falls on the page. For a double bed, one wall light on each side.

Frequently asked questions

Reading light or bedside wall light?

A reading light focuses an adjustable beam on the book; a bedside wall light gives a wider glow around the bed. To read as a couple without disturbing each other, the adjustable reading light is the most suitable.

How is a headboard wall light switched on?

The switching method is shown on each product page. For example, the travertine and walnut wall light is controlled from the existing wall switch, and the travertine and wood model has a push button built into the light.
