Wall Sconce | PENTA (Black)

The Penta wall sconce by Sollux Lighting is a black steel light fixture made up of a pentagon surrounded by 5 petals, which lights the wall behind it and draws a halo around its shape. It measures 30 cm long and takes 2 G9 bulbs.

A black wall sconce shaped like a geometric flower

Penta looks like a geometric flower. By day, it is a decorative object; in the evening, a source of light.

The petals surround the central pentagon and give the whole relief. The pattern of this black wall sconce changes depending on the angle from which you look at it.

When off, it keeps all its graphic presence and acts as a wall sculpture, an asset on a large white wall. The black steel suits modern, minimalist interiors, raw wood and natural textiles.

A halo of indirect light all around the shape

The bulbs are concealed behind the steel faces. The light is projected onto the wall and draws a halo all around the shape.

The black then stands out as a very crisp silhouette. On a white or light gray wall, the shape stands out like a stencil cut out of the light. On a darker wall, the wall sconce becomes more discreet and lets the halo play the leading role.

This indirect light suits subdued moods, where the aim is an atmosphere rather than powerful lighting. Leave space around the wall sconce: the halo needs a clear wall to spread out.

Where to install this wall sconce for a living room or bedroom?

In a living room, this wall sconce for a living room goes behind a sofa or above a console. It becomes a luminous work of art that draws the eye.

In a bedroom, above a headboard, this wall sconce creates a decorative focal point and a soft light before sleep. In a dining room, it dresses up the main wall and provides a dimmed atmosphere for dinners. In an office, it gives character to a bare wall.

A pair on either side of a large mirror or a framed artwork creates a symmetrical scene. Pair it with black light fixtures of simple shapes, which leave it the role of centerpiece.

G9 wall sconce: bulbs, installation and maintenance

This G9 wall sconce works with 2 LED bulbs of 12 W maximum each, not included. A warm white gives a golden halo that softens the black of the metal and creates an ambient light with a warm feel.

Use 2 identical bulbs so that the halo stays even around the whole shape. Check with a level that the pattern is straight before tightening. Above a bed, mount it high enough that you do not touch it when sitting up.

The light fixture is rated IP20, so it is intended for dry rooms only. The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician. For maintenance, switch off the power, then dust the petals with a soft, dry cloth, without applying pressure.
