This cylindrical fluted glass wall light dresses the wall in a crystal column scored with vertical ribs. Offered in a one-lamp or a two-lamp version, it sits on a round wall plate 12 cm across. It is a fluted glass wall light that is smooth and graphic at once, and it arrives with its LED bulbs.

A cylindrical fluted glass wall light in ribbed crystal

A fluted glass wall light is judged first on its silhouette, and this one is a cylinder. The shade is high-clarity crystal glass, scored with vertical ribs: the reeding cuts the light into fine lines and gives the glass a relief that reads even when the fitting is off. The clarity of this fluted glass wall light lets you see the source and the metal behind the glass, which gives the piece a crisp, almost architectural character. The body is durable stainless metal, chosen for its resistance and its sober look. The whole rests on a wall plate 12 cm in diameter, which anchors the cylinder cleanly: wider than the 9 cm column, it acts as a round backplate and lets the glass stand away from the plaster. The contrast between the clarity of the ribbed glass and the metal makes a quiet play of light and reflection. This fluted glass wall light belongs in a contemporary interior, in a hallway, an entrance, a bedroom or around a mirror, wherever an upright, slender light is welcome. It does not go in for display: its vertical lines pace the wall and its reflections shift with the viewing angle. Lit, the light passes through the reeding and draws faint markings on the neighbouring surface. A fluted glass wall light of this kind works alone or in a run, along a long wall or either side of an opening, and the pair is how most people buy it.

The specification of this cylindrical fluted glass wall light

This fluted glass wall light comes in two versions. The one-lamp model measures 27 cm high by 9 cm wide. The two-lamp model reaches 48 cm high by 9 cm wide, with the same slender profile. In both cases the wall plate is 12 cm in diameter, and the 9 cm width is the figure that matters in a hallway where shoulders pass. The lampholder takes a standard E14 small Edison screw (SES) cap, and LED bulbs are included: the fitting is ready to use with nothing further to buy, so the whole thing is ordered and fixed in a single step. Installation of this fluted glass wall light is on the wall, with fixed electrical wiring and a supply of AC 110 V to 240 V. The IP20 rating indicates interior use. On control, the fitting is not dimmable: the level is fixed, which simplifies matters for anyone who would rather not add a dimmer, and which your electrician will want to know before the circuit is set out. This fluted glass wall light therefore gives a constant, clear and even light with nothing to adjust. Choosing between the one-lamp and the two-lamp version comes down mainly to the height of wall to be covered and the quantity of light you want, since the two share every other figure.

Choosing a one or two-lamp fluted glass wall light

Start from the position. The one-lamp version, 27 cm high, suits small spaces: either side of a mirror, in an entrance or beside a bed, where it adds a discreet point of light. The two-lamp version of this fluted glass wall light, 48 cm high, takes two E14 bulbs and is meant for taller walls or places where you want a more generous light; its elongated silhouette emphasises the vertical of the room. For comparison, the two-lamp model is 21 cm taller than the one-lamp (48 cm against 27 cm) for an identical 9 cm width, so the footprint of the fluted glass wall light is the same across and only the height changes, which matters under a 2.4 m ceiling. Since the level of this fluted glass wall light is not adjustable, think about what the room is for: a fixed light suits a hallway, an entrance or a passage well. The wiring of this fluted glass wall light being fixed, arrange the supply at the exact fixing point, and keep the fitting to interior rooms in line with its IP20 rating. Setting two of the same height in mirror image gives a clean symmetry, and the 12 cm plate gives each one the same footing. A reeded surface rewards that kind of repetition, because the vertical lines of one fitting pick up the lines of the next along the wall.

Ribbed crystal glass, a stainless metal body and LED bulbs included: this fluted glass wall light brings together ease of use and a graphic character. Choose the one or two-lamp version to suit your wall, at Alborra.
