Its 12 cm projection is still suitable for a hallway, provided there is enough wall width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral installation rule: centre the disc at around 1.60 m from the floor on a clear wall, or 25 to 30 cm above the backrest when placed above a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, finish and maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass is the only material specified here, including the body and diffuser. A large metal surface shows marks: a dry microfibre cloth, wiped in the direction of the disc, is enough for maintenance. Avoid acidic products and abrasive sponges, which dull the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBulb and installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCavelen has an E14 socket, a small-diameter screw base, and the bulb is not included. As the diffuser is made of brass, choosing an opaque LED or filament bulb does not change the appearance when viewed from the front. The connection is fixed, to an existing cable outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes Cavelen require a wide wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. With a diameter of 46 cm, the disc needs an unobstructed section of wall to stand out. Allow at least 20 cm of margin on each side to avoid a cramped effect. However, the 12 cm projection remains modest, allowing it to be placed in a passageway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat kind of light does a brass diffuser produce?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass is not translucent: the light comes out from the edges of the disc and reflects off the wall, creating a halo. The resulting lighting is indirect and soft, useful for creating ambiance, but it cannot replace a reading lamp directed at a book or work surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich E14 bulb should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose an E14 screw bulb designed for 230 V mains, LED or filament. Warm white suits golden metal better than cool white, which makes it look greener. The bulb is not supplied with the wall light: buy it at the same time to avoid a second trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan Cavelen be used outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The manufacturer specifies an IP 20 rating, with no protection against water, and for indoor use only. Neither rain nor the humidity of a covered terrace is covered by this rating. For an outdoor wall, choose a model whose numerical rating expressly covers this use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor more\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover metal finishes in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/applique-murale\"\u003eour selection of wall lights\u003c\/a\u003e.
