Our collection merges the efficiency of LED technology with fine materials such as metal, glass, and natural fibers, offering designs that range from technical minimalism to handcrafted warmth. Installing a wall light not only optimizes space by freeing up table and floor surfaces, but also introduces a decorative focal point capable of highlighting wall textures or passageways. Whether creating an intimate reading nook with an adjustable arm or bathing a hallway in soft ambient light, our designs are created to enhance the livability and character of your home with contemporary and enduring sophistication.

Wall lamps: the key lighting to transform the atmosphere
In professional lighting design, the wall is considered a canvas where light acts as a constructive element. Wall lamps shift the visual focus to vertical planes, visually widening rooms and eliminating harsh shadows. This type of lighting is essential for creating inviting atmospheres where visual comfort is paramount. Choosing the right wall light involves understanding the interaction between the light source and the surface, always seeking a balance between the functionality required for specific tasks and the decorative value that adds presence and style to the home's architecture.
Types of wall lights and lighting solutions
| Type of application | Technical specifications | Design opportunity |
|---|---|---|
| Articulated arm wall lights | Mobile metal structures that allow the light beam to be directed with surgical precision. | Ideal for bed headboards, reading areas or contemporary design studios. |
| Indirect lighting fixtures | Designed to project light onto the wall or ceiling ("washers"), softening the overall atmosphere. | Perfect for hallways, entryways or living rooms looking for dramatic lighting. |
| Crystal and fabric appliques | Diffusing screens that filter the light evenly, eliminating glare. | They bring a touch of classic warmth or "art deco" to living rooms and master bedrooms. |
| Recessed technical spotlights | Complete integration into the wall. Discreet, focused light for signage or accent. | Staircase areas or galleries where you want to highlight specific paintings or objects. |
Advantages of strategic wall lighting
- Space optimization: By eliminating the need for floor or table lamps, usable surface area is freed up, something vital in compact apartments.
- Visual zoning: They allow you to define functional areas (such as a work corner in the living room) through intelligent use of focused light.
- Thermal comfort and efficiency: Integrated LED technology reduces electricity consumption and does not emit residual heat, protecting adjacent surfaces.
- Reduced eye strain: They provide a supportive light that reduces excessive contrast between screens and ambient darkness.
Expert tips for installation
For professional lighting, the standard installation height for ambient wall lights in hallways or living rooms is 160 to 170 cm from floor level, ensuring the bulb is not at direct eye level. For reading lamps in the bedroom, position them approximately 50 cm above the mattress. Pay particular attention to color temperature: use warm tones (2700K - 3000K) for relaxation areas and neutral tones (4000K) for hallways or mirrors, guaranteeing natural and pleasant color rendering.
Frequently asked questions about wall lamps
-
What is the difference between a wall sconce and a wall lamp?
Technically they are synonyms, although the term "apply" usually refers to models that are fixed directly to the wall and project light in a way that is more integrated into the architecture.
-
Can they be installed if I don't have a wall socket?
Yes, there are "plug-and-play" models that include a decorative cable and plug, allowing them to be fixed to the wall and connected to any nearby power outlet without the need for construction work.
-
What IP protection rating do I need for the bathroom?
If the lamp is to be placed near the sink or shower, it is imperative that it has a minimum protection rating of IP44, which guarantees its safety against splashes and ambient humidity.
-
Are they compatible with dimmers?
Many modern LED models are dimmable. It's essential to check this feature in the technical specifications and use a compatible dimmer switch to customize the ambiance.
