This is accent lighting, not general lighting. The rust finish pairs well with lime-washed walls and antique furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral installation rule: 1.45 m above the floor in a hallway, or 1.25 m above a bedside table so that the pool of light falls on the book rather than into your eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, finish and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hammered metal traps dust in its recesses: a soft brush or feather duster works better than a cloth, which can snag on the edges. The gold and silver finishes show marks, while the bronze and rust shades hide minor scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBulb and installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe socket is an E27. In a closed metal lampshade, the bulb is not visible: there is no need to pay for a decorative filament LED; a standard opal LED will do. Choose 2700 K to maintain the model's retro feel. The light is hardwired to a fixed outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich of the five finishes should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack and bronze are the easiest to match and work well on both painted walls and brick. Rust is a bold choice that pairs well with antique furniture. Gold and silver create a sharper reflection and look interesting as a pair on either side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the metal lampshade get hot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, with an incandescent bulb—and noticeably so: metal conducts heat, making the lampshade hot to the touch. An LED with the same light output gives off much less heat, making it safer to handle, especially in a child's bedroom or near a curtain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this wall light suitable for a bathroom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The stated protection rating is IP20, meaning it has no protection against water. Reserve Silva for the bedroom, living room, dining room or hallway. For a bathroom, you need a model rated at least IP44 and with wiring suitable for the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used as a reading light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, provided it is installed low, around 1.25 m above the floor, and slightly further out from the bed. The closed lampshade focuses the light on a small area, making it well suited for reading without disturbing the person lying next to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor more options\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare retro models in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/applique-murale\"\u003eour wall light catalogue\u003c\/a\u003e.
