However, its 28 cm height requires vertical clearance: leave enough space above a worktop or shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral installation rule: 1.70 m above the floor on a passageway wall, and at least 40 cm above a worktop to keep your head clear. When installed in pairs, space the lights at least 80 cm apart to prevent the two pools of light from overlapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, finish and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colored lacquer on the shade can be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dried. The brushed metal of the arm will retain its appearance better if you follow the direction of the brushing. Avoid abrasive sponges: they dull the lacquer and leave marks on the brushed finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBulb and installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKari takes an E26 or E27 bulb, not included, with a 40 W incandescent or LED equivalent. The light is corded: the cable remains visible and connects to an existing power supply. Check the available height inside the bell before choosing a long decorative bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does corded mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe light comes with its own cable, which connects to the electrical supply rather than disappearing entirely into the wall. This visible wiring is part of the vintage design. It makes installation easier when the cable outlet is not exactly where you want the light to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich E27 bulb is suitable for Kari?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 40 W incandescent E27 bulb, or an LED that produces a comparable light output. Measure the depth of the bell before buying: a large decorative globe will protrude past the edge. In warm white, the light complements the red and orange tones of the shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the color of the shade tint the light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bell is opaque and lacquered: the light comes out through the opening at the bottom, without passing through the color. The shade therefore colors the room through reflection in a subtle way, but the pool of light projected onto the floor retains the color of the bulb you install.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Kari suitable above a worktop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts small lateral footprint makes it suitable, provided you leave enough vertical clearance for its 28 cm height. The downward lighting effectively illuminates a specific area. However, avoid placing it in close proximity to a sink or hob: no protection rating is specified for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor more\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/applique-murale\"\u003eour wall light catalog\u003c\/a\u003e.
