This alabaster wall light sets a shade of real alabaster, carved from solid, on a brass structure. Its LED source is integrated and its slender 43.4 cm height gives it real presence on the wall. It is an alabaster wall light for careful interiors, where the material counts as much as the light.

An alabaster wall light carved from solid stone

An alabaster wall light stands apart from most fittings through its material: here the shade is real alabaster, carved from solid. That means the stone is not a veneer but a full volume, worked until it becomes a diffuser. Lit, it passes the light of the integrated LED and spreads it as a filtered halo of a very natural softness. Unlit, it keeps its mineral presence and the bearing of a small sculpture. This alabaster wall light also carries the mark of the quarry: the specification states that veining, tone and translucency vary from one piece to the next. No two are exactly alike, and that is precisely the value of an object in natural stone: you receive a single piece rather than a perfectly uniform product. The brass structure of this alabaster wall light accompanies the shade, framing the stone and fixing it to the wall with restraint. At 15 cm in diameter by 43.4 cm high the format is slender, tall enough to mark a surface and compact enough for a hallway, a bedroom or a lounge. In a room with a 2.4 m ceiling a 43.4 cm column mounted at about 1.2 m leaves a comfortable margin above and below, which is the measurement worth taking before anything is drilled. Stone and brass together make an alabaster wall light that gives the wall an enveloping light and a living material.

Dimensions and specification of this alabaster wall light

The dimensions of this alabaster wall light are exact: 15 cm in diameter by 43.4 cm high, an upright format that stretches along the wall. The source is an integrated LED, part of the fitting, which therefore forms a complete whole with no bulb to specify. The supply for this alabaster wall light is AC 110 to 240 V, a wide range that matches many electrical networks. Installation is by integrated wiring, and the specification recommends calling on an electrician, which is sound sense for a fitting fixed to a wall and connected to the mains: give them the diameter, the height and the voltage range before the first fixing goes in. Structure and finishes are brass, a metal that gives the alabaster wall light its steadiness; set against the stone, it makes a sober pairing in which each material keeps its place. The shade being carved from solid also explains the visual weight of the object: the alabaster is not a covering, it is the body of the diffuser itself. This alabaster wall light is best read as a piece of material, whose appearance depends on the stone as much as on the drawing. Nothing is added for ornament: the brass, the stone and the LED are enough to make the object, and there is no cap, bulb or driver to source separately.

Installing an alabaster wall light in a dry interior

This alabaster wall light is designed for interior use in dry conditions. It belongs in a lounge, a bedroom, a hallway or an entrance, and it is not intended for damp rooms or outdoors. To fix it, arrange the supply at the exact position wanted: the wiring is integrated and an electrician is recommended. It sits as well against pale walls as against deeper ones, since the stone brings its own tone, variable from piece to piece, with brass as counterpoint. At eye level, its 43.4 cm vertical accompanies a run of wall without crowding it. Two of this alabaster wall light either side of a bed or a mirror give a symmetry, though they will not be strictly identical, since veining, tone and translucency vary. Far from a fault, that is a trait to accept: the eye finds a gentle asymmetry in it that suits natural interiors. In a hallway it paces the passage; in a bedroom it prepares the evening with a filtered light. One practical note before fixing: an alabaster wall light of this length is a solid piece of stone rather than a pressed shade, so the fixing wants to suit the wall it goes on, a stud or a plug rated for the substrate instead of something pushed into hollow plasterboard. Decide the position before the plaster is made good, and the fitting will sit flat with no cable to disguise afterwards.

Real alabaster carved from solid, a brass structure and an integrated LED: this alabaster wall light is a piece of material, singular in its veining and its translucency. Suited to dry interiors and supplied at 110 to 240 V, it is waiting for its place on your wall, at Alborra.
