Wall Light – Round Glass Shade on a Metal Base with a G9 Socket

Wall Light – A Globe of Light That Softens the Wall Around It

A round glass shade on a slim metal backplate. The glass throws light sideways as well as forward, so the surrounding wall lifts instead of catching one bright patch. Two diameters let you match the fixture to the wall it goes on.

Why choose a wall light with a glass shade?

A room lit only from the ceiling reads flat. Light at eye level breaks that up: the wall softens and the space gains depth. An enclosed glass shade also keeps the source itself out of view.

• Glass shade — spreads light all around rather than in one narrow beam.
• Metal backplate — a clean mounting disc that carries the weight of the glass.
• G9 socket — a common fitting, so replacement bulbs are easy to find.
• Two diameters — 4 or 5 inches, chosen for the space beside the fixture.
• Understated shape — works beside a mirror, over a bed or along a stairway.

A fixture that makes the wall around it matter more than itself.

It connects to fixed wiring and sits against the wall on the supplied plate. Beside a bed, mount it at roughly seated eye level so it does not shine into your face. Let the glass cool before wiping it with a dry cloth.
