Thoro Biscuit Wall Lamp Red Ochre G9 Aluminium

BISCUIT is a Thoro wall lamp shaped as a flat aluminium panel of three rounded segments stacked one above the other, with a soft vertical fold down the middle. The panel is painted red ochre — a warm, brick-toned shade. The light source sits behind the panel and is not visible to anyone standing in front of it.

How big it is and how it mounts

The fitting is 33.6 cm high and 16.3 cm wide and projects 5.8 cm from the wall. It is a flat form that stays out of the way — still, hold that 5.8 cm against the width of the passage if the lamp is going in a corridor.

The lamp weighs 0.54 kg. The manufacturer states electrical class I, so the back box needs an earth conductor — worth checking before ordering, since older installations often have none. Supply is 230 V, 50 Hz, and the fitting is for indoor use only.

What light it gives

There are two G9 sockets inside. No bulbs are supplied — you buy two and choose their colour and brightness yourself. The manufacturer states a maximum power of 8 W.

Light leaves from behind the panel and lands on the wall around it, tracing the scalloped outline. Seen from the front you look at lit wall rather than at a bright point, which is why this suits places that want mood light rather than light to work by.

Construction

The panel is aluminium finished in a single matt colour; red ochre is one of more than a dozen shades in the BISCUIT collection, which also includes pendants alongside the wall lamp. The lamp is made in Poland and the manufacturer gives it a five-year warranty.
