A bedside wall light frees up the nightstand and lights your book, not the pillow next to you. Adjustable arms, reading lights, swivel spots, in brass, wood, ceramic or bamboo: choose your wall-mounted bedside lamp.

Why a wall-mounted bedside lamp?

Fixed to the wall, a bedside wall light leaves the whole nightstand free and cannot be knocked over. With an adjustable arm or a swivel head, you direct the light exactly onto your book, without lighting the whole bedroom or waking the person next to you.

How to choose it?

For reading, prefer an adjustable model: reading light, swivel spot or articulated arm. For ambience, a ceramic, opal glass or fabric shade gives a softer light. In practice, some models have a switch on the light itself, shown on the product page if you don't want to rely on a wall switch.

At what height to install it?

Generally between 70 and 90 cm above the mattress, or the bottom of the light at shoulder height when sitting in bed, and about 15 to 30 cm to the side of the headboard. Install one on each side for a double bed.
