Jupiter KORONA 281 Wall Light, Patinated Brass, 3xE14

KORONA 281 is a three-light wall fitting in steel, finished in a patinated brass colour. Three curved arms with candle cups emerge from beneath a decorative band with an embossed pattern, and two ornamental finials rise above it; the crown-like band is what gives the series its name. The whole piece is mounted on a round wall plate.

Size and space on the wall

The light is 42 cm wide and 25 cm high, and it projects 20 cm from the wall. Compare the width with the space you have on the wall, above a chest of drawers, beside a mirror or either side of a fireplace, and the 20 cm projection with how close to the wall people walk past. It weighs 1.5 kg and is for indoor use only.

Bulbs and light

There are three E14 sockets, and the maker allows up to 11 W in each. No bulbs are supplied, so you will need to buy three, and you can change them yourself. An 11 W limit per socket rules out ordinary incandescent and halogen E14 bulbs, so in practice this fitting takes LED bulbs, ideally candle-shaped ones that suit the cups. The colour and brightness of the light depend on the bulbs you choose.

Style and finish

The maker classes the style as classic: cups with drip pans, arched arms and the ornamented band all follow the traditional wall sconce. The patinated finish has darker rubbed tones along the edges, so the colour is not a uniform shine. Jupiter gives a 5-year warranty on this fitting.
