Its vertical line complements a hallway or highlights a return wall. The brass pairs well with both light and dark woods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral installation rule, to be adjusted to suit your space: position the centre of the wall light approximately 1.60 m above the floor near a mirror, and slightly lower above a headboard. When installed as a pair, ensure an even gap to maintain symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, finish and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlabaster is a soft, translucent stone with veining that varies from one piece to another. Clean it with a dry cloth, without water or household products, which could mark the stone. Dust the brass with a soft cloth; depending on the finish, a patina may develop over time, which is normal for metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBulb and installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn E14 bulb is required and is not supplied. The manufacturer lists E12 or E14: these are market equivalents, and in France the corresponding standard is E14. A warm-white E14 LED reveals the translucency of the alabaster. The connection is made via fixed wiring to a wall cable outlet, with the circuit breaker switched off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich bulb is required for Lyphaia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn E14 bulb, not supplied. The manufacturer lists E12 or E14: this is a market equivalent, and the standard sold in France is E14. A low-wattage warm-white E14 LED, around 2700 K, highlights the translucency of the alabaster without heating the soft stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan Lyphaia be installed above a headboard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, its narrow format of 12 cm wide makes it ideal for this. Install both wall lights at the same height measured from the floor, rather than from the bed base, to maintain symmetry. As the wiring is fixed, plan for two cable outlets in the correct positions before installation, with your electrician if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the alabaster identical in each wall light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Alabaster is a natural translucent stone with cloudy veining that varies from one block to another. Two Lyphaia wall lights placed side by side will share the same shape, height and brass finish, but their stone patterns will remain different. This is a characteristic of genuine alabaster, not a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill the brass develop a patina?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepending on the finish, the brass may change over time and develop a slight patina. This is normal for metal and is appreciated by some for its distinctive character. Regular dusting with a soft cloth is sufficient for maintenance; avoid abrasive products, which could scratch the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscover more\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/applique-murale\"\u003eall our wall lights\u003c\/a\u003e.
