This alabaster wall light takes the form of a stone cylinder: 9 cm across, in a choice of two heights, 59 or 72 cm. Real alabaster, carved from solid, is lit from within by an integrated LED that reveals how the stone passes light. The result is mineral and luminous at once, for a wall that deserves more than a single point of light.

A cylindrical alabaster wall light for a mineral glow

A cylindrical alabaster wall light achieves something few wall-mounted fittings reach: a column of stone that lights up. At 9 cm in diameter and 59 or 72 cm tall, this alabaster wall light draws a clean vertical that lengthens the wall visually. The stone is real alabaster, carved from solid, and the integrated LED passes through it to show the translucency: the veining comes forward, the tone wakes up, and the whole reads like a stone lantern set against the plaster. The 9 cm diameter stays slim, so it can go into a corner or between two openings without eating space. As with all alabaster, every piece is its own: veining, tone and translucency shift from one to the next, so your alabaster wall light will not match anyone else’s. In a lounge it accompanies a sofa or a bookcase, and its soft light invites you to slow down. In a bedroom, a pair either side of the headboard does the work of two bedside lamps and leaves both bedside tables clear. In a hallway, a run of these fittings paces the passage like a small colonnade. Unlit, the stone keeps a matt presence; lit, it becomes light. That double life is the argument for an alabaster wall light over a painted metal one: there is something to look at when the switch is off.

The specification of the alabaster wall light: two heights

This alabaster wall light comes in two sizes that share the same 9 cm diameter: one 59 cm tall and one 72 cm tall. The shorter suits walls of ordinary height and secondary positions; the taller asserts itself and suits more generous walls. Worth measuring before you choose: in a room with a 2.4 m ceiling, a 72 cm column mounted with its base at 1.1 m leaves a comfortable margin above, while the 59 cm version gives you more freedom under a picture rail or a cornice. In both sizes the shade of this alabaster wall light is real alabaster carved from solid, and the source is an integrated LED. An integrated LED keeps use simple: the fitting is conceived as a whole, with no bulb to specify. The wiring is integrated and an electrician is recommended for installation, so the connection is made neatly. Mark the supply position before fixing, at the height you want, so your electrician works in the right place. This alabaster wall light is for interior use in dry conditions: living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and entrances, and not damp spaces. Its one quirk is the quirk of all natural alabaster, which is best read as a signature rather than a fault. An alabaster wall light of this length is also a piece of stone on a plasterboard wall, so the fixing deserves a moment of thought: let your electrician find a stud or use a fixing rated for the substrate rather than a plug pushed into a hollow panel. For upkeep, nothing more than a dry cloth is needed on the stone.

How to choose and place an LED alabaster wall light

Choosing between 59 and 72 cm starts with a look at the wall. Beside a bed or a console, the 59 cm height of this alabaster wall light gives a close, intimate light; the 72 cm version suits more open spaces, a lounge or an entrance where the vertical counts. Mount it at a comfortable height and leave a little air around the stone, so the glow can develop without being hemmed in by a frame or a shelf. If you fit two, remember that veining and tone vary: side by side, two pieces answer one another without copying, which gives the composition more life. Against a glass fitting, alabaster offers a calmer, more mineral depth; against wood, it brings more clarity. This alabaster wall light sits well with linen, oak, plaster, brushed metal and sand tones. For upkeep, a dry soft cloth lifts the dust, with nothing harsh. Keep to the intended use, indoors and dry. One last point on placing an alabaster wall light in a British bedroom: a 72 cm column beside a bed reads better set a little lower than you would hang a picture, so the brightest part of the stone falls below the eye line of someone sitting up. Measure from the mattress rather than from the floor, and the proportion comes right.

Cylindrical, carved from real alabaster and lit by an integrated LED, this alabaster wall light gives out a mineral light that belongs to one piece only. Choose the 59 or 72 cm height and give your wall a column of light.
