Electroplated Gold Glass Wall Light

A gold glass wall light adds a warm metallic note to a wall that would otherwise take a plain fitting. The glass shade keeps the illumination clear and legible while the electroplated arm carries the colour, which is a more useful division of labour than a coloured shade that dims everything behind it. It suits a bedroom, a hotel-style corridor or the wall beside a stair. Glass keeps the light legible where a metal shade would throw it only up and down.

The body is iron with an electroplated gold finish, holding glass shades in single, double or three-head configurations, so the same design covers a narrow bedside and a wide stair wall. The LED comes in warm or white and runs at 220 volts. The multi-head versions spread light along a wall rather than concentrating it in one spot. Electroplating gives a more even gold than paint and does not chip at the edges in the same way.

Beside a bed, the single head gives directed reading light; along a corridor, the three-head version lights a long stretch from one fixing point. Gold reads warmer than chrome under low light, which is why it works in rooms used mostly after dark. The box holds the lamp, installation hardware and a manual from DecorNestHub. A three-head fitting covers a wide stair wall from a single fixing and a single switch.
