Gold-finish glass wall light Vision E14 MOD411WL-01G Maytoni Promo Code - MAY20  Stock Sale until the end of Oct 31

Vision MOD411WL-01G is a wall light with a rounded blown-glass shade carried on a gold aluminium fitting: a cylinder holding the lampholder, a horizontal arm and a round wall plate. The shade has two layers — an inner milky dome that covers the bulb, and a clear outer layer through which the shape of the inner one shows.

How much wall it takes up

The fitting is 21 cm high and 18 cm wide and projects 22.7 cm from the wall. That last figure decides where it can go: above a narrow passage it is worth subtracting from the width of the route, since walking past comfortably starts at around 80 cm.

The wall plate is 6 cm across, so it covers only a small patch of wall around the cable outlet. The whole fitting weighs 0.89 kg and hangs off that single plate.

What bulb it takes and how it lights

The lampholder is E14 and the maximum bulb rating is 60 W. No bulb is included, so colour and brightness are yours to choose: 2700 K is warm and distinctly yellowish, while 4000 K reads cooler and more neutral.

The bulb sits inside the milky dome, so it is not visible directly from the side or from below — what leaves the shade is already diffused. The maker states the fitting is not dimmable, so the light level is set by the choice of bulb rather than by a dimmer.

Glass and finish

Shades in the Vision series are made by double-blowing the glass; the maker notes that it is this technique that gives a repeatable shape from one piece to the next, even though each shade is formed individually. It shows: the clear outer layer reveals the outline of the milky dome inside.

Holder, arm and plate are aluminium in satin gold. Protection class I means the circuit must have an earth conductor — without earthing the fitting must not be connected. Besides the wall light, the Vision series includes pendants for three and six bulbs, so the same shade can be repeated over a table.
