Wall Sconce | HELIOS (Ceramic)

The Helios wall sconce by Sollux Lighting is a white ceramic half-disc, pierced with fine slits on its front face and closed at the bottom by a frosted glass. It measures 40 cm long, 15 cm wide and 10 cm high, and takes an E27 bulb.

A white ceramic wall sconce in the shape of an arch

Its arched shape, wide and low, emphasizes the horizontal line of the wall. This ceramic wall sconce recalls a setting sun resting against the wall.

The white ceramic has a matte surface that pairs well with plaster, light stone and limewashed walls. The frosted glass at the bottom adds a touch of lightness.

The matte white blends into a light wall. You can also paint the ceramic with ordinary wall paint, in the color of your choice. Its simple lines fit into a modern or minimalist interior.

A soft light upward and downward

The light rises through the upper opening and lights the wall in a fan shape. The lower glass lets a softened glow fall downward. The slits on the front face add small, very graphic lines of light.

This soft light does not cause glare: you do not see the bulb, only the ceramic lighting up along its edges. It suits quiet evenings as well as nighttime passages.

A textured wall, in stone or plaster, gains depth under this grazing light. For reading or working, add a dedicated lamp to Helios.

Where to install this sconce for a hallway or living room?

This hallway sconce provides a welcoming light that makes the passage pleasant, without harsh lighting. On a long wall, several sconces evenly spaced create a frieze of light.

In a living room, placed above a sofa or a console, this wall sconce creates a subdued atmosphere for relaxing evenings. In a bedroom or a dining room, a pair on each side of a piece of furniture makes a symmetrical decor.

Leave a free space above the sconce. The fan of light must be able to rise without being cut off by a shelf or a frame. In a dining room, this indirect light accompanies meals without dazzling the guests.

Which E27 bulb for this sconce?

Helios takes 1 LED E27 bulb of 15 W maximum, not included. A warm white highlights the softness of the ceramic and gives a golden glow. A standard-size bulb spreads the light between the top, the slits and the glass.

Mount the sconce high enough that you cannot see the inside through the upper opening. 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 and let the bulb cool. Dust the ceramic with a dry cloth and clean the glass with a barely damp microfiber cloth.
