Wall Sconce | AXIL (Black)

A reading sconce with a flexible arm

On this reading sconce, the chrome arm bends and holds the position you choose. You aim the head at a book, then at the wall for a softer light. The whole piece measures 52 cm, which leaves real freedom of adjustment.

The contrast between the shiny metal of the arm and the black of the base and cylinder gives the light fixture a look that is both technical and elegant. The 8 cm base fades into the wall. It is the supple line of the arm that draws the silhouette.

What light for reading with this flexible sconce?

The beam of this flexible sconce is directed: it lights a precise area without flooding the whole room. This is what lets you read in bed without disturbing the other person. Turned toward the wall, the head produces an ambient glow instead.

Next to an armchair, in a living room, Axil replaces a reading floor lamp and frees up the floor. Above a narrow desk, the arm brings the light to the center of the worktop.

For reading, a neutral white improves the contrast of the text. A warm white is more restful before sleep. You can also keep the same bulb and simply turn the head toward the wall late in the evening.

Where should you install this wall sconce for a bedroom?

On each side of the bed, this bedroom wall sconce forms a functional pair and leaves the bedside tables free. In a guest bedroom, it offers individual reading light without taking up any space.

In an office, this wall sconce adapts to the needs of the day, from work to evening reading. In a hallway, it can point at a frame or a photo and turn a passage into a small gallery.

Before fixing the base, consider the usual position of the book or the worktop. The arm corrects a few centimeters, not a poor location. Do a test before drilling, by holding the sconce against the wall.

Which G9 bulb for this wall reading light?

The head of this wall reading light takes 1 G9 bulb (LED) of 12 W maximum, not included. For a pair of reading lights, choose 2 identical bulbs so that each side of the bed gets the same light.

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. Bend the arm in gradual movements, without always forcing it at the same spot.

For maintenance, switch off the power and let the bulb cool. Then wipe the chrome arm with a microfiber cloth and the black parts with a dry cloth.
