Argon MASSIMO PLUS 8059 wall light, black with opal glass, G9

Argon MASSIMO PLUS 8059 pairs a matt opal-glass sphere with a broad black band of painted steel. Glass remains visible above and below the band, while a round wall plate repeats the shade's geometry. The finish combines white opal glass with textured black metal: this is not an all-white wall light.

Choose a bulb that fits inside the glass

The fitting takes one G9 LED bulb rated at no more than 6 W. A bulb is not supplied. Check its dimensions as well as its base and wattage, because the manufacturer's installation instructions specify a maximum width of 16 mm and length of 50 mm. A larger G9 bulb may have the correct base without fitting the shade.

Colour temperature and light output depend on the bulb you choose. Opal glass conceals the light source, and the steel band surrounds the middle of the sphere. Replacing the bulb involves removing the glass shade as shown in the instructions; there is no permanently built-in LED with a fixed colour temperature.

Allow for the projection from the wall

The manufacturer lists a height of 100 mm, width of 125 mm and depth of 165 mm. Compare the depth with the space beside a bed, nearby furniture or a passage before positioning the light. Its small height should not be confused with a flush fit against the wall.

This is a wired 230 V fitting. The installation diagram shows wall-plate fixing and connections for live, neutral and protective earth. Installation requires the power to be disconnected; the light is not shown as a plug-in lamp for a wall socket.

A black ring in a modern interior

The simple sphere-and-band construction suits modern and industrial interiors as supplementary wall lighting in a living room, bedroom, dining room or study. The official product page specifies IP20. Do not treat the fitting as splash-resistant or choose it for a wet location solely because its shape resembles other bathroom wall lights.
