Mikado Wall Light - White

Description

Description
Mikado is a wall light in white. A small white cone shade on a bright chrome flexible arm that comes off a round white wall plate, bending in a long easy curve so the head can be pushed anywhere within reach. The cone is straight-sided with a white lining, and a line of small vent holes runs round its shoulder. A chrome switch knob stands out on the face of the wall plate below the arm. The plate is plain and round with a single visible fixing screw. Everything but the arm and the knob is the same flat white. The arm is a flexible gooseneck, so the head stays where it is bent.

A wall light earns its place by leaving the surface below it clear. Beside a bed where there is no room for a table lamp, over a work bench, up a stairwell or either side of a mirror, it gives directed light without taking up any space. Fix it at about 1.5m from the floor beside a bed and a little higher flanking a mirror, so the light falls on the face rather than into the eyes of anyone standing in front of it. There is a rotary ON-OFF-ON switch on the backplate, so it is reached at the fitting rather than by following the flex down.

The holder is GU10 and takes up to 35W. It plugs into an ordinary socket, so it needs no electrician. It is class II, double insulated, so it needs no earth, and it is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms.
