Reading Wall Light

A reading wall light combines ambient light (indirect lighting) and an adjustable reading spot. Two functions in one fixture.

The reading wall light is fixed to the headboard, 120 cm from the floor. The ambient light upwards, the reading spot downwards, each with its own switch.

Mistake: a reading wall light without an independent switch for each light. Two separate controls are essential.

A reading wall light allows you to have both ambient lighting and an adjustable reading spot for versatile use. It is ideal for a bedroom or living room, offering both soft light and targeted lighting for comfortable reading.

To choose the appropriate wattage and color temperature for your reading wall light, consider the room's use. For reading, opt for a warmer color temperature (2700-3000K) and a wattage of 5 to 10W. For ambient lighting, you can choose a more neutral temperature (4000K) and a lower wattage (3-5W).

The most trendy styles of reading wall lights currently are sleek designer models in metal or wood, vintage or industrial versions, as well as models integrating LED lighting elements. Choose a style that harmonizes with your interior decor for a successful decorative touch.

To properly position your reading wall light, install it approximately 1.60 m from the floor, at head level when you are seated. Orient the reading spot according to your preferred reading area. Avoid placing it too close to a wall or furniture to allow for optimal light diffusion.

Maintenance of a reading wall light is quite simple. Regularly clean the diffuser and reflector with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Also check the proper functioning of the adjustable spot and tighten the fixings if necessary. Minimal maintenance will ensure long-lasting use of your reading wall light.
