RENDL CELESTE Wall Light White – LED 4.8W 3000K 480lm, gooseneck, switch on the base, R14278 Promo CODE - LUN18 until the end of Oct 28

CELESTE is a wall light from the Czech brand RENDL light studio, with a gooseneck and a round reflector. Variant R14278 is the white version; the same model in black is R14279.

A gooseneck and a switch on the base — why that combination

These two features together define what this lamp is for. The gooseneck — a flexible neck that holds whatever position you set — lets you aim the light exactly where it is wanted: at a book, at a pillow, at a patch of wall. The switch on the base means the fitting is operated from where you are lying or sitting, without getting up and without a separate switch in the wiring.

Together that makes a wall-mounted reading light: it takes no space on the bedside table and still works as a bedside lamp. For a bedroom above the bed, a child's room or beside an armchair.

A milky diffuser: 480 lm without glare

The round reflector is closed with a milky diffuser that scatters the diode's light. Without it, a 4.8 W LED gives a hard point of glare to anyone looking straight at the fitting — with it, the emitting surface is larger and the luminance lower. On a reading light that the eye regularly falls on, that is the difference between comfort and eye strain.

480 lm from 4.8 W is 100 lm/W. It is exactly what reading at a few tens of centimetres needs, and too little to light a room — which is consistent with its purpose.

Integrated diode and 3000 K colour

The light source is permanently built in — RENDL states Integrated LED: Yes — so there are no bulbs to change in this fitting. Declared life is 25,000 hours, which at three hours a day is over 22 years.

3000 K is warm white — the right choice for a lamp beside a bed, where cooler light makes falling asleep harder. Energy efficiency class: G.

Things to bear in mind

The diode is not replaceable: at end of life the whole fitting is replaced. The 27 cm projection is the real distance the lamp stands out from the wall — worth checking that it does not clash with the edge of a bed or an opening wardrobe door.

A switch on the base means the fitting is permanently powered and controlled at the lamp itself — if the design calls for a wall switch by the door, this lamp will not replace one and does not need one.
