Wall Lights
Welcome to the world of wall lighting. Ready to create a mood, highlight artwork, or wash your wall with light? Wall lights have evolved over the years from simple incandescent bulbs to an extensive range of modern, traditional, and unique designs. At Clasterior, we offer an array of wall lighting options, including wall washer lights, torch wall lights, picture lights, recessed lights, swing arms, and plug-ins. These versatile and stylish fixtures can enhance any space.
What are the benefits of wall lights?
Wall lights not only provide general lighting but also work in harmony with ceiling lights to help with basic orientation and subtly highlight specific areas. Mounted at eye level, they can make a bold design statement while saving space—perfect for rooms like the bedroom with swing-arm lights.
How do I install wall lights?
Clasterior provides a detailed installation guide for your convenience, but if you're unsure, we recommend consulting with a professional electrician to ensure safe installation.
Which style is right for your room?
Whether you want to wash a wall with light or highlight artwork, wall lights come in a variety of designs tailored to different purposes. We offer:
- Wall Washer Lights – Create an even wash of light across your wall.
- Torch Lights – Cast soft upward shadows for a delicate mood.
- Picture Lights – Illuminate your favorite artwork beautifully.
- Recessed Wall Lights – Save space while offering ambient or accent lighting.
- Plug-In Lights – Perfect for kids’ rooms or creating special atmospheres.
What’s the right height for wall lights?
The ideal height for wall lights is roughly eye level, factoring in ceiling height, the light's size, and any wall features. A good rule of thumb is to place the light around two-thirds of the way up the wall.
Can I use wall lights without other lighting sources?
Wall lights alone can create a cozy and atmospheric space, especially in rooms with large windows that provide natural light. For areas like offices, however, additional task lighting may be needed.
Which wall lights can I use in my bathroom?
For bathroom installations, always check the IP code. Wall lights with an IP code of 4 or higher are suitable for use above mirrors. It’s always wise to consult with an electrician about the best choice for your specific needs.
Which design is right for you?
Wall lights come in various styles, from classic designs to modern and even edgy looks. They can complement any room aesthetic, whether traditional, contemporary, or rustic. Choose from materials like fabric, brass, copper, glass, and ceramic. Wall lights often work best in pairs or groups for maximum impact.
Upward-facing or down?
When choosing a wall sconce, think about the direction of light. Upward-facing sconces highlight the ceiling and create ambient lighting, while downward-facing lights are perfect for functional tasks like reading. You can even opt for fixtures that combine both for a more dynamic lighting effect.
Where can I use wall lights?
Wall lights are versatile and work well in various areas of the home, including:
- Hallways/Staircases – Set a calm, ambient atmosphere.
- Living Rooms – Enhance ambiance, improve task lighting, or highlight artwork.
- Bathrooms – Ideal for task lighting and creating a spa-like feel.
- Bedrooms – Save space with task lighting, bedside reading lights, or mirror lighting. Swing-arm lights are especially useful for flexibility.
Can I use any ceiling light in my bathroom?
Check the IP code for ceiling lights to determine their suitability for use in the bathroom. Lights with an IP code ending in 4 or higher can be installed above mirrors, and those with a code higher than 4 are suitable for use above showers. Always consult an electrician if unsure.

How bright are wall lights?
The brightness of wall lights depends on their lumens rating. You can find the brightness information on each product’s technical specifications page.
Are the lightbulbs built in?
It depends on the model. Many wall lights come with built-in LED bulbs, offering 20,000–25,000 hours of use. If a bulb is not specified, it’s likely built in.
What about fire-rating?
All of our wall lights comply with European safety standards (DIN-EN-60598-1). If you have any concerns or require additional information, please feel free to contact our customer service team.
