Wall Sconce | ASTRAL

The Astral wall sconce from Sollux Lighting combines a curved steel arm and an opal glass globe hanging from its end. It measures 21 cm high by 22 cm wide, takes a G9 bulb and comes in white or black.

A globe sconce with a curved arm

In this globe sconce, the arm leaves the base, then dips in a curve. The globe ends up in front of and below the fixing point. The silhouette stays compact and suits narrow walls as well as headboards. At 21 cm high by 22 cm wide, it easily finds its place.

The opal glass globe gives off a soft, even light, with no visible bright spot. When lit, the sphere becomes a small round source that lights the wall around it. When off, it looks like a white pearl resting at the end of its arm.

White or black sconce: which finish to choose?

The white sconce blends into a light partition and lets the globe float. It suits bright bedrooms and minimalist interiors, where it remains very discreet. On a white wall, only the globe catches the eye.

The black version keeps the white globe and asserts a more graphic style. The arm draws a sharp line on the wall. It goes well with dark woodwork and black metal furniture.

In both of the 2 cases, the globe is identical and the light produced is the same. A pair of sconces on either side of a console creates a simple rhythm on a wall.

Where to install this bedroom wall sconce?

On each side of a bed, this bedroom wall sconce replaces bedside lamps and offers a soft light for late evenings. In a child's bedroom, with a low-power bulb, it gives off a reassuring glow.

In a hallway or an entryway, a series of globes placed at regular intervals guides the way. In a living room, near a bookcase, this wall sconce complements the ceiling light with ambient lighting. In a dining room or a kitchen, a pair framing a mirror multiplies the light.

Which G9 bulb for this sconce?

Astral takes 1 G9 bulb, LED, 8 W maximum, not included, placed inside the globe. A warm white gives the glass a golden tint and makes the atmosphere welcoming. A neutral white makes it brighter and suits a hallway better.

In a series of sconces, install the same bulb everywhere, because opal glass reveals differences in tint. For a pair, measure the same distance from the edges of the furniture so that the 2 globes are symmetrical.

The light fixture is rated IP20, so it is reserved for dry rooms. The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician. For maintenance, switch off the power, then wipe the globe with a slightly damp cloth and the arm with a dry cloth.
