Location
Wall lighting is an excellent feature for any room in the home. The most popular spots to install these fixtures is hallways and landings, which create a warm entrance into the home. They also bring light into the other rooms. Also, wall lights make great living areas when they are paired with ceiling pendants, table lamps and floor lamps to create a “lightscape”, making sure there’s always light to match a specific purpose or mood. In addition, using lighting fixtures in bedrooms rather than traditional table lamps not only reduces the space at the bedside table but also provides a lively contemporary look.
Placement
The location of the wall light is vital since there are a variety of factors to think about prior to installing:
Height is a good thing – try to avoid mounting lighting fixtures on walls at a height that you will get in their way or are at near the eye with an open bulb. Installing lights about six feet away from the floor can serve as an approximate measure, however the level that your household members are, the ceiling and the overall size of the fixture are all factors in you are deciding this!
Spacing: One fixture every 6-8 feet is sufficient however, you might need to leave a little larger or smaller space among fixtures dependent on the output of lumens of the bulb that you’re using or the size of the space. Spaces with open plan layouts may require additional fixtures to achieve an identical lighting effects. It is also important to think about the direction of the wall lighting prior to installing fixtures – often, they are arranged in a way that they do not meet symmetrically or horizontally across the hallway can result in an aesthetically pleasing arrangement however having a set of lighting fixtures in a narrow space that aren’t aligned may look strange. It’s all about personal taste and is important to take into consideration the particular fitting you’ve selected for the area you’re looking to light.
Rooms that are narrower hallways, stairwells and halls that are prone to large traffic flow are best lit with mounted fixtures that have an unobtrusive appearance and don’t extend too much into the room Be sure to determine the depth of the fitting prior to purchasing it, so you can be sure that it will work.

Plug and switch?
Some of our wood wall lights are available as “hard wired” or “plug and switch’ variants But what exactly does that mean?
The term “hard wired” refers to wall lamps as lighting which require wiring into your mains power supply by an electrician. That is they’re not plugged into a plug socket and do not come with an unidirectional cable and flicker switches (like an ordinary table light).
Our plug and switch models are ready to be connected to an electricity source (no connecting block) with grey fabric flex with an inline switch as well as the UK plug. No electrician needed.
What are the advantages of each?
The distinction between our hard wired and plug and switch wall lamps is mostly cosmetic. The advantage of our ‘hard wired’ wall light is that, once they are installed they do not have visible flex that is attached to the light, which requires plugging into an outlet. The wall lights operate using the wall-mounted switch or the dimmer switch you prefer.
The benefit of using the plug and switch’ choice is the ease of installation – there is no electrician required to set up the fitting, and the wall light are able to be placed wherever they are able to reach the plug socket. They operate with the inline switch, which is already attached to the flexible. A plug and switch wall light is suitable for rental properties.
