The Aldex Ball Dusty Blue S pairs a milky glass globe with a small metal wall base in a muted blue finish. Dusty Blue corresponds to RAL 5014. This single-light fitting belongs to the Ball collection, with the globe forming the main visible shape and the coloured base providing a short connection between the shade and the wall mounting point.
A 14 cm globe with a 17 cm projection
The fitting measures 14 cm across and 14 cm high, with an overall projection of 17 cm from the wall. When planning its position, consider both the outline seen from the front and the space occupied in front of the wall. This is particularly relevant beside a mirror or cabinet and anywhere a door or furniture front opens nearby.
Ball can provide supplementary lighting in a living room, bedroom, dining room or entrance hall. The manufacturer also suggests positioning it to the sides of mirrors. For that arrangement, check the relationship between the mirror edges, the intended fitting positions and the available electrical outlets rather than judging the installation solely by the amount of bare wall.
Milky glass around a replaceable E14 bulb
There is one E14 socket inside the globe. The milky glass diffuses the light and screens the bulb itself, producing a different effect from an exposed lamp or a narrowly focused spotlight. Choose the light colour and output through a suitable bulb; the blue finish on the base does not determine those characteristics. The installation instructions illustrate removal of the shade to reach the light source.
Simple geometry and a muted colour accent
The rounded shade and unornamented base suit modern, modernist and minimalist interiors. The milky globe can also complement a restrained classic setting. Dusty Blue offers a way to repeat a blue detail elsewhere in the room without using coloured glass for the shade. Wall fixing and electrical connection should follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
