Indoor Wall Lights

Indoor wall lights add light at eye level, where a ceiling fitting can't reach. They give a room a warm, layered glow, pick out a feature or a reading chair, and free up the floor and side tables. From up-and-down lights and decorative sconces to reading and cordless designs, wall lights are one of the easiest ways to make a room feel finished.

What types of indoor wall light are there?

• Up-and-down wall lights throw light both ways for a modern, architectural effect.
• Reading & swing-arm lights put adjustable light beside a bed or armchair.
• Decorative sconces add soft ambient light and a bit of style.
• Rechargeable & cordless wall lights go anywhere, with no wiring needed.
• Picture lights and Tiffany wall lights for artwork and character.

Where do wall lights work best?

• Living room: a pair either side of a fireplace, mirror or TV for balanced accent light.
• Bedroom: reading wall lights beside the bed free up the bedside table.
• Hallways & stairs: evenly spaced wall lights guide the way without glare.
• Conservatory: soft wall light for evenings without a harsh overhead glare.

How high should wall lights be mounted?

As a general rule, mount wall lights around 1.5 to 1.7m from the floor, roughly eye level, so they light the room rather than shining in your eyes. Beside a bed, a little lower works better for reading. In a hallway, space them evenly, about every 2.5 to 3m, for a smooth run of light.

Finishes and styles

• Brass, satin brass and antique brass for warmth
• Chrome, nickel and black for a modern look
• Glass, fabric and metal shades to match the room

Are LED and rechargeable wall lights available?

Yes. Many of our wall lights use integrated LED for low running costs and a slim profile, and plenty are dimmable. We also stock rechargeable, cordless wall lights, which are handy where there's no wiring, since you simply charge them and mount them anywhere you like.
