The specified fifteen watts make it an accent light, best placed where a ceiling light already provides illumination rather than as a sole light source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral installation rule: aim for 1.70 m from the floor to the centre of the wall light in a walkway, and repeat the pattern along a long wall to create regular accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, finish and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrushed silver has a directional grain: always wipe in the direction of this grain with a dry microfibre cloth to avoid leaving streaks. The folded edges collect more dust than the flat surfaces; a soft brush removes it without risking scratches on the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBulb and installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne small-diameter screw-in bulb, not supplied, with an E12 or E14 base. E14 is the standard base in France. Allow 15 W for an incandescent bulb, or approximately 2 W for an LED. The wiring is fixed: the wires connect to a wall-mounted cable outlet without a cord or plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich E14 bulb should I choose for Vanta?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn E14 LED equivalent to the specified 15 W, so around 2 W, in warm white. The brushed metal is highly reflective: a frosted bulb distributes light more evenly across the facets than an exposed filament, which would create harsh highlights on each folded panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre fifteen watts enough to light a room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and that is not its purpose. Fifteen watts for an incandescent bulb provides ambient or accent lighting. Plan Vanta as a supplement to an overhead light or floor lamp, or install several on the same wall if you want a usable level of illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Vanta compatible with a dimmer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer states that it is compatible with a dimmer, which is not included. If you choose an LED, select a model that is explicitly dimmable and a dimmer designed for low loads: a single 2 W LED often falls below the operating threshold of older dimmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be installed without an electrician?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt connects to a recessed cable outlet without a socket or corded switch. Therefore, a power supply must already be available at the exact chosen location, and the circuit must be modified. Leave this work to a professional if the light point still needs to be created.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDiscover more\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore the sculptural metal forms in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/applique-murale\"\u003eour wall light collection\u003c\/a\u003e.
