The ABBANO 8048 is a single-light wall fitting: a white velour drum shade 200 mm across sits on a brushed brass arm led out from a flat wall plate. A short stem with a sleeve at its end shows below the shade.
How much wall it takes
The fitting is 320 mm tall and stands 260 mm out from the wall — a figure to compare with the width of the walkway beside a sofa or the distance from the edge of a bed. The wall plate itself is small: 155 mm tall, 70 mm wide and 30 mm thick, so taking the lamp down leaves a palm-sized mark. Net weight is 0,7 kg.
Which bulb to buy for it
There is one E27 lampholder and no bulb in the box. The manufacturer gives a 15 W maximum and crosses out the incandescent lamp on the installation card — only LED sources are permitted.
The size limit matters more: the card states a maximum lamp envelope of 50 mm diameter and 105 mm length. A standard A60 pear is 60 mm across and about 110 mm long, so it will not fit — a slimmer LED lamp is needed. The card also shows dimmer compatibility, which requires a bulb marked as dimmable.
Mounting and supply
The fitting is Class I, so the supply needs a PE protective conductor — on an installation without earthing, check this before mounting. IP20 means dry interiors only. The manufacturer allows a switch to be fitted in the wall plate, so the lamp can be switched at the fitting itself rather than only from the wall switch.
The ABBANO collection
The same shade and the same brass finish return in the collection on 380 mm table lamps and on five-light chandeliers with E14 lampholders. Wall lights in this family also come in black, green and cream with a gold stripe, so several rooms can be fitted out in one line.
