The pull chain means it should remain within easy reach, so not too high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral installation rule: aim for 1.35 to 1.45 m above the floor so you can easily reach the pull chain while standing, and around 1.10 m next to a bed so you can reach it while lying down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, finish and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTravertine is a porous stone: its surface features holes and fine cracks, which are natural to this limestone and do not affect its durability. Each piece therefore differs from the last. Wipe it dry; the walnut back should be treated the same way, without water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBulb and installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne E26 or E27 screw-in bulb, not supplied, with a 40 W incandescent or LED equivalent. In France, E27 is the standard bulb holder. The wall light is hardwired: once connected to a cable outlet, the pull chain controls the power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Solaro be installed in a bathroom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer states that it is moisture-resistant and suitable for bathrooms and covered outdoor areas, but does not provide a numerical IP rating. Without this rating, keep it away from the splash zones around the shower and bath, and consult your electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the pull chain for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt turns the wall light on directly, without the need for a wall switch. This is practical at the head of a bed or in a hallway without a switch, but means the wall light must be installed within arm's reach. The pull chain controls the wall light only, not the room's lighting circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre two Solaro wall lights identical?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Travertine is a natural stone with veining, pores and fine cracks that vary from one block to another. Two wall lights installed side by side will share the same shape, 12.5 by 15 cm dimensions and walnut back, but not the exact pattern of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich bulb should I choose to avoid overheating the stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose an E27 LED equivalent to the stated 40 W, which is around 5 W. It gives off much less heat than an incandescent bulb, helping to protect the travertine and walnut back. In warm white, around 2700 K, it also brings out the beige tones of the stone more effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor more\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover the natural stones in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/applique-murale\"\u003eour range of wall lights\u003c\/a\u003e.
