Description
keyboard_arrow_downThis alabaster wall light pairs a shade of real alabaster, cut from the solid block, with a brass frame. Its LED source is integrated and it comes in two heights, 50 cm and 80 cm, at 8 cm wide. An alabaster wall light made for contemporary interiors, where stone becomes light.
The main strength of this alabaster wall light lies in its material. The shade is real alabaster, cut from the solid block, neither a veneer nor an imitation but a block of stone worked to let brightness through. Once the integrated LED is on, the stone takes a soft halo and its veins appear in transparency, like a drawing nobody set down. Every alabaster wall light is therefore particular, since the veins, the tone and the translucency vary from piece to piece. That is the signature of a natural material, not a fault in the making. You will never receive quite the same piece twice, and that is where its value lies in a carefully finished room. Fitted on a wall, an alabaster wall light of this kind reads as a decorative object in its own right, thanks to a profile only 8 cm wide. Lit, it spreads an enveloping brightness that softens the surface without glare. The brass of the frame accompanies the alabaster without competing with it, holding the stone, fixing it to the wall and adding a metallic warmth that answers the tone of the stone. The two materials complete one another, one mineral and translucent, the other dense and gilded. For a contemporary room, this alabaster wall light brings material where an ordinary piece would bring only light.
On specification, this alabaster wall light rests on clear decisions. The format is narrow and vertical, 8 cm wide by 50 cm or 80 cm high, according to the space you have and the result wanted. The shade of the alabaster wall light is cut from the solid block, which gives it a thickness and a presence a moulded piece would not have. The frame and the finishes are brass, a metal that marries naturally with stone. The source of the alabaster wall light is an integrated LED, so there is no bulb to choose and none to replace to obtain the output intended. The piece runs on a supply of AC 110 to 240V, which makes it compatible with ordinary circuits. The wiring is integrated, which preserves the spare line of the whole, since no visible flex troubles the silhouette of this alabaster wall light. An electrician is nonetheless recommended for the installation. It is intended for indoor use in a dry position, which is worth stating plainly before anyone considers a bathroom. The brass finishes and the stone cut from the solid block are the two things noticed first, and they explain the character of this alabaster wall light. Taken together these choices make a coherent piece, plain in its construction and generous in its output, and they keep the installation of an alabaster wall light to one clear decision, the height.
The choice between the two heights depends above all on your wall. The 50 cm version suits a surface where a discreet line of light is wanted, while the 80 cm version strengthens the verticality and takes more of the visual space, which asks for a clear run of wall in a room of 2.4 m. In both cases the width stays 8 cm, and the logic of the alabaster wall light does not change. For the installation, the integrated wiring and the AC 110 to 240V supply keep matters simple, but an electrician is recommended for an alabaster wall light of this height, since that guarantees a clean and compliant fit. Keep this light to indoor use in a dry atmosphere, as its specification states. One last piece of advice, accept the element of chance that belongs to alabaster. The veins, the tone and the translucency do not repeat, and two pieces of the same model fitted side by side will each have a personality. Fit several and you will have a living group rather than a uniform run. That is exactly what anyone choosing an alabaster wall light over a mass-produced piece is after. Set at eye level or slightly above, you will make the most of the translucency of the stone, which shows itself above all when the LED is on.
This alabaster wall light brings together real stone, brass and an integrated LED in a format 8 cm wide. Choose the height that suits your wall and let the light reveal the veins of a piece that belongs to you alone.
