This mosaic glass wall light pairs a mirror-finish chrome arm with a textured glass shade assembled in the manner of a leaded window. Lit, the mosaic glass wall light lays a living, coloured light across the wall. It belongs in a bathroom as readily as under a covered porch.

A mosaic glass wall light that plays with colour

A mosaic glass wall light is never only a light source; it composes something. The identity here comes from the textured glass shade, assembled in small pieces like a leaded window, which breaks the light up and gives it an unexpected depth the moment the bulb comes on. Three colours are offered on this mosaic glass wall light: blue, orange and clear. Blue brings a cool, almost aquatic mood that suits a bathroom; orange warms the wall with an amber glow; the clear version lets the texture of the glass speak more neutrally. Each choice changes the colour of the room in the evening, which is why a mosaic glass wall light is best thought of as a deliberate decorative accent. The curved arm, architectural in character, holds the shade slightly off the wall and gives it an elegant, almost sculptural outline. At 17 cm wide and 30.5 cm tall, this mosaic glass wall light stays measured: present enough to hold the eye, discreet enough to slip in beside a mirror, a basin or a door surround. Fitted as a pair either side of a mirror, two units give symmetrical light and make the most of the chrome. The fixed wiring is integrated, which simplifies the connection at the wall.

Chrome arm, E14 lampholder and dimmer on this mosaic glass wall light

The precision metal of the structure and arm carries a mirror chrome finish that catches light and returns it to the room. A mosaic glass wall light of this kind therefore works on two registers: the cool brilliance of the chrome on one side, the coloured warmth of the glass on the other. Technically, it takes a single E14 small Edison screw (SES) lampholder, with a recommended maximum of 15 W, incandescent or LED equivalent. The bulb is not included, which leaves the output and the tone of light to you: a warm LED lifts the orange and the clear glass, while a more neutral white favours the blue. This mosaic glass wall light is dimmer compatible, the dimmer sold separately, useful for moving between a frank light for washing and a low glow for a bath. It is certified for damp locations and meets North American, Australian, European and Middle Eastern standards, which is the line your electrician will want to read before siting it in a bathroom. A mosaic glass wall light of 30.5 cm on a chrome arm asks little of a solid wall; on a stud wall the fixing is worth agreeing in advance, ideally before the tiling goes on and the position becomes permanent.

Fitting a mosaic glass wall light in a damp location

In a bathroom, a mosaic glass wall light sits naturally beside the mirror or above the basin. Set each unit at about face height for a flattering light with no hard shadow; light arriving from either side of the face remains the most comfortable for shaving or doing your hair, and that is an argument for buying two rather than one. Keep the same glass colour on both sides to hold the symmetry. This mosaic glass wall light also suits covered outdoor positions such as a porch, a sheltered entrance or a protected terrace, since the certification covers damp and covered spaces rather than full exposure. In every case, isolate the circuit at the consumer unit before connecting the wiring, and call an electrician if you are not confident; a mosaic glass wall light in a bathroom has to be positioned against the zones your electrician works to, so agree the spot before the first fix. For cleaning, a soft dry cloth keeps the chrome bright and the glass clear; avoid anything abrasive on the mirror surface. Choose the bulb for the result you want: a dimmable one if you intend to vary the level, a warm one for an enveloping light. Chrome taps, pale tiles and a plain wall all suit it. In a bathroom with a 2.4 m ceiling, a mosaic glass wall light of 30.5 cm leaves ample clearance above a mirror, and keeping the centre at roughly 1.6 m is the measurement most people settle on.

Between the bright chrome and the leaded glass, this mosaic glass wall light gives a plain wall some relief, with a 15 W E14 lampholder and a damp-location rating behind it. Choose your colour, blue, orange or clear, and let that light into the room.
