Wall Lights
Welcome to Wall Street
Ready to set the mood, highlight a favorite piece of art, or bathe your wall in light? Wall lighting has been around since the invention of the incandescent bulb and has evolved significantly over the years. Today, you can choose from a wide array of traditional, modern, and innovative wall light designs. The right style for your space will depend on your personal taste and the ambiance you wish to create. At Clasterior, we offer wall washer lights, torch wall lights, picture wall lights, recessed wall lights, swing arms, and plug-ins. They’re versatile, striking, and incredibly stylish.
What are the benefits of wall lights?
Wall lights provide general lighting that works in harmony with ceiling lights to give basic orientation and subtly accentuate a specific area of the room. When mounted at eye level, wall lights can become a bold design statement. Additionally, they are great space-savers, especially swing-arm lights for bedrooms.
How do I install wall lights?
We offer a comprehensive step-by-step guide, but it’s always recommended to consult an electrician if you're unsure.
Which style is right for your room?
Whether you want to wash your wall in light or highlight a favorite picture, we offer a range of wall lights designed for different purposes.
- Wall washer lights - These lights create a soft wash of light across the wall.
- Torch lights - Perfect for soft upward shadows and creating a delicate mood.
- Picture lights - Ideal for showcasing your favorite artwork.
- Recessed wall lights - Save space while offering ambient or accent lighting.
- Plug-in lights - Fun options like police car lights or princess projectors for the kids' room.
What’s the right height for wall lights?
Generally, aim for eye level, but consider the ceiling height, the size of the light fixture, and any features such as windows and décor. A good rule of thumb is the "rule of thirds"—mount your lights about two-thirds of the way up the wall.
Can I use wall lights without other lighting sources?
This depends on the effect you’re aiming for and the room type. For example, in a living room with ample natural light, wall lights alone could create a cozy atmosphere. In spaces like an office, however, wall lights may not provide sufficient task lighting.
Which wall lights can I use in my bathroom?
Check the IP code of the wall lights. If it’s rated 4 or higher, they are safe for bathroom use, especially above mirrors. Always consult with an electrician for the best choice for your bathroom installation.
Which design is right for you?
Wall lights are highly versatile and can complement any room's aesthetic—whether traditional, modern, edgy, or rustic. Choose from chic designer pieces, antique tiffany lamps, or classic and modern designs. Material options range from fabric and brass to copper, glass, and ceramic.
Upward-facing or down?
Decide between upward-facing sconces to highlight the ceiling and create ambient lighting or downward-facing lights for functional task lighting, like reading. Alternatively, consider a fixture that combines both for a more dynamic effect.
Where can I use wall lights?
Wall lights can be used in various areas of the home, providing style and function. Here are some of the best spots for them:
- Hallway/Staircase – Set a calm, welcoming mood.
- Living room – Create ambiance, accentuate artwork, or provide task lighting.
- Bathroom – Perfect for both task lighting and mirror lighting.
- Bedroom – Save space, add task lighting next to the bed for reading, or use swing-arm lights for flexibility.
Can I use any ceiling light in my bathroom?
To determine whether a ceiling light is suitable for bathroom use, refer to the IP code. If the last digit is 4 or more, the light can be used above a bathroom mirror, and a higher rating is required for use near the shower. Always consult an electrician for installation.
What about special features?
- Dimmable lights – Check the product specifications for dimming functionality. You can filter by dimmable lights in our shop.
- Built-in switch or pull cord – Filter for lights with built-in switches for ease of use.
How bright are wall lights?
Brightness varies depending on the fixture. Lumens measure the light output, and you'll find this information on each product's technical specification page. We also provide a conversion chart to compare brightness to older wattage measurements.
Are the lightbulbs built in?
This depends on the specific wall light. If the base type isn't listed in the product details, the bulbs are likely built-in. Built-in bulbs typically last between 20,000–25,000 hours, with LED options offering longer life spans.
What about fire-rating?
All our wall lights comply with European safety standards (DIN-EN-60598-1). For more detailed information, don’t hesitate to contact our customer service.
