Black Wall Light – Tagged "300€-400€"

Lighting fixtures have been enhanced over the years with new shapes and functions. We no longer only see chandeliers, ceiling lights or even floor lamps. Other lighting devices have gained ground, for example wall lights which are increasingly used in homes. Wall lights are of various types and are the subject of our attention in this article. It will be essential for us to understand what the indoor wall light device is, how it works, the different types available and the advantages and disadvantages it has.

What does indoor wall light mean?

Unlike a light fixture such as a pendant or ceiling light, the indoor wall light is a much better lighting device for different rooms in a house. As indicated by its name, this type of luminaire is very simply attached to the walls. Unlike a candlestick which is placed on a piece of furniture, or a floor lamp which is placed on the floor.

A height of 1.80 meters from the ground is most generally recommended for positioning the wall light. It is mainly used in pairs depending on the dimensions of the room to be lit.

How the indoor wall light works

Simplicity is what characterizes the operation of the indoor wall light. As its name indicates, its duty is to participate in the lighting of the different interior rooms of a home. The very first objective of the indoor wall light is to provide general lighting in a room.

Because it is wall-mounted, light will be reflected off light-colored walls. This is because dark shades tend to absorb light. They also provide excellent rendering when it comes to ambient lighting. Whether in series or in pairs, it perfectly complements the general lighting of a room. The case in question is when the general lighting in question is a pendant or chandelier and a ceiling light.

For this type of scenario, the indoor wall light will diffuse the light upwards. The aim of this is to create a softer and subdued atmosphere. Its reflection on the ceiling as well as the wall highlights the volumes of the room. The wall light also harmonizes very well with certain decorative objects that are placed on the walls. Here for this scenario the light will be reflected downwards.

The different types of wall light

The classic wall light

After a long census, it turns out to be the first type of indoor wall light. It differs from the others thanks to a fabric, metal or glass lampshade it has. It is placed directly on a support fixed to the wall.

The main role of this type of indoor wall light is to complete the general lighting of the room by adding subdued light. However, depending on everyone's tastes, the style chosen can spoil the decoration of a room.

The wall spotlight

This is the indoor wall light that most attracts consumers. Unlike the classic model, this one is equipped with either one or more light outlets that attach to the wall.

The latter offers relatively precise lighting which can be directional or adjustable. It is therefore possible to direct the light towards a specific point. The wall mounted spotlight is also very ideal for corridor lighting by directing the light to illuminate the best passage.

It can be installed on both cable and rail, providing very versatile and modular lighting from the same light point. However, the ideal is to carefully determine the orientation, because they are not easy to access later depending on their positioning.

The bedside wall light

This type of wall light is basically a substitute for classic bedside lamps. It is therefore installed on either side of the headboard. It plays the role of functional lighting as well as that of a decorative object.

The switch of this type of wall light is incorporated or placed nearby. It offers subdued light at your bedside. Some models are equipped with an oriental reading light. It is imperative to arrange them correctly in order to avoid any hindrance in your movements.

The recessed wall light

Its name already tells us something about it and that is the fact that it is directly recessed into the wall. This, using a non-visible support, requires an expert for its installation.

The picture wall light

This type of wall light has the role of highlighting a photograph, a painting in a frame or even a work of art placed on a wall. The device will be placed above the table and the light beam will be directed downwards. Here there is a major drawback, which is due to the fact that if the size is chosen incorrectly, it will not fit and the effect will fail.

How is an indoor wall light installed?

This type of device ideally requires the presence of a professional. Because this way the installation will be done without defects and errors by taking into account the various necessary parameters. However, here are a few simple steps to successfully install the indoor wall light:

• Identify the wiring path
• Suspend power to the work area
• Stop the openings for the electrical box and the wall light switch
• Install the wiring
• Connect the wall light to the electrical cable
• Attach the indoor wall light to the wall
• Finish by installing the lampshade and bulb
