Long and architectural, this vertical alabaster wall light runs to 60 or 80 cm and makes a point of the height of your wall. Its diffuser is white real alabaster, held in a brass frame in either a deep black or a warm copper. It turns the alabaster wall light into a piece of interior architecture as much as a source of light.

A vertical alabaster wall light as a line of light

This vertical alabaster wall light was designed to occupy height. At 60 and 80 cm it works as a column of light that gives a wall structure and carries the eye upward. The diffuser is natural alabaster in a white finish, and its milky clarity softens the LED while letting the material show. Around it, a brass frame holds the stone like a precise sleeve. In a lounge, an alabaster wall light at this scale goes either side of a chimney breast, a sofa or a tall window. In a corridor or a stairwell it paces the route and lights it without glare. In a bedroom, this alabaster wall light replaces a bedside lamp with a discreet vertical. The white of the stone stays neutral and agrees with pale walls, timber, raw textiles and deeper paint colours alike. The light itself, warm white at 3000K, makes surfaces welcoming and flatters natural materials. A long, architectural alabaster wall light therefore suits anyone who wants a strong fitting that is never aggressive. Its verticality structures the wall without loading it, which makes it as comfortable in a minimal room as in a lounge full of texture, and it asks for no floor space at all. That counts in a small British bedroom, where the bedside table is often the thing you would rather do without.

Alabaster wall light in brass: output, finishes and installation

The 60 cm model measures 60 cm high by 10 cm wide and draws about 12W; the 80 cm model reaches 80 cm high by 12 cm wide, at about 16W. This alabaster wall light carries a high-performance integrated LED in warm white 3000K. The outer frame is brass, in two finishes: a deep black, graphic and plain, or a warm copper that is softer and more decorative. Installation of this alabaster wall light is vertical and wall-mounted, with fixed wiring, so the supply must be brought to the position before anything is fixed. Switching is by a standard wall switch, not supplied. The fitting is for interiors: its IP20 rating allows a well-ventilated room with some humidity, but never a position exposed to splashing. On compliance, it carries approvals for North America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East. An alabaster wall light of this length wants a sound fixing into masonry or a timber noggin rather than plasterboard alone, and your electrician will say the same before measuring anything else. Choosing between the two heights is really choosing a scale, and here British ceilings decide a great deal: at 80 cm the alabaster wall light wants a generous volume, while the 60 cm sits comfortably under the 2.4 m ceiling of a standard room with wall left over above and below. A fitting this long needs a clear wall to show what it is, and a careful connection. Before ordering, measure the available height and locate the supply, since the wiring is fixed.

Choosing deep black or copper for your alabaster wall light

The finish changes the character of this alabaster wall light completely. Deep black reinforces the architectural reading: it draws a clean stroke on a pale wall and agrees with dark joinery, slim frames and metal fittings. Copper, warmer, lifts the white stone and returns a soft gold light to timber, leather and earthy textiles. In both cases the diffuser of the alabaster wall light stays white, which protects the softness of the light. For a very spare interior, take the black; for an enveloping room, take the copper. Brass, black or copper, gives the whole piece a solidity that answers the stone. If you are hesitating between 60 and 80 cm for your alabaster wall light, measure from the top of the furniture to the ceiling, then picture the line centred on the wall. An 80 cm alabaster wall light suits a bare wall waiting for a focal point, while the 60 cm sits more easily alongside furniture you already own. Plan the cable outlet in the right place, because the wiring is fixed, and pair it with a standard wall switch. Two of them, one either side of a bed or a chimney breast, is the arrangement most people settle on.

Between white stone, brass and a vertical line, this alabaster wall light brings elegance without noise. Choose the height and the finish that suit you, and give your wall a light on its own scale.
