Since it can also be ceiling-mounted, it also works as a small ceiling light in a dressing room or powder room.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGeneral installation rule: when mounted on a wall, center it at approximately 1.60 m above the floor for a mirror, or higher if it illuminates a passageway; when mounted on the ceiling, leave 20 cm of clearance around the globe. The wiring is integrated, so the cable outlet must be located beneath the spherical base.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMaterial, Finish, and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe spherical base is made of smooth, seamless lacquered metal, which helps prevent dust buildup. The globe is made of opaline acrylic, which is lighter than glass but sensitive to solvents. Clean it with clear water and a soft cloth; alcohol and acetone will permanently damage it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eBulb and Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eKuro takes one E26 or E27 screw-in bulb, not included, with a maximum power of 40 W. An LED bulb produces little heat, making it suitable for an enclosed acrylic globe. The light can be fitted with a wall dimmer if the bulb is rated as dimmable. It can be mounted on a wall or ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhich E27 bulb is suitable for the Kuro light?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne E26 or E27 screw-in bulb, purchased separately, is sufficient, with a maximum power of 40 W. Choose an LED bulb: it produces less heat than an incandescent bulb, which is important in an enclosed acrylic globe. Check that its diameter allows it to fit inside the sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCan Kuro Be Mounted on the Ceiling?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eYes, the manufacturer provides both installation options. When mounted on the ceiling, the opaline sphere hangs downward and the light fixture works as a small ceiling light: ideal in a dressing room or powder room. In both cases, the wiring is integrated and requires a cable outlet at the mounting point.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIs Acrylic as Good as Glass for the Diffuser?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOpaline acrylic diffuses light in the same way as opaline glass, concealing the light source. It is lighter and does not shatter into shards, which is an advantage when mounted high up or near a child. In return, it scratches more easily and is sensitive to solvents, so it should be cleaned with clear water.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWould Kuro Be Suitable for a Bathroom?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer states that it is compatible with wet areas, but does not provide an IP rating. Since no numerical value is given, keep it away from direct splashes: around a mirror or on the ceiling of a powder room, yes; above a shower or bathtub, no. An electrician will make the final decision based on the area in question.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eLearn More\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscover other shapes in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/applique-murale\"\u003eour wall light collection\u003c\/a\u003e.
