Hosmane Wall Light - Black & Brown

Description

DescriptionThe Hosmane Wall Light takes its look from the workshop: a black rectangular backplate holds a short steel I-beam in a weathered, rust-brown finish, with a length of black cord wound loosely around it before dropping to a matching brown lamp holder. The bare bulb hangs on show, so the beam and cord do the decorating. It is 19cm high and 8cm long and stands 18.5cm out from the wall, so a narrow stretch of wall is all it needs. It takes a single E27 bulb up to 10W, which is not included. The IP rating is IP20, which settles where it goes: indoors, in dry rooms only.
We would put it where an industrial look already has a foothold: against bare plaster or exposed brick, beside a doorway, along a hallway or on a landing. A pair either side of a bed or a sofa gives reading light without taking up table space, and a row of them along a dining room wall brings a warehouse feel to the room. Because the bulb is part of the design, the choice of bulb matters: a clear globe filament bulb in a warm tone suits the brown and black best, as long as it is an E27 bulb of 10W or less.
The body is steel in a two-tone finish, black for the backplate and brown for the beam and lamp holder. Steel is strong and rigid, a good match for a design shaped like a structural I-beam. There is no switch on the light itself; it runs from your wall switch, just like a ceiling light. As a hard-wired mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. Packed, it weighs 0.831KG, and once it is fitted, all it needs is an E27 bulb of up to 10W.

No. It is rated IP20, which means indoors and dry only, so keep it to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and other dry rooms.

No, the bulb is not included. It takes a single E27 bulb up to a maximum of 10W, and a clear globe filament bulb shows off the design best.
How far does it stand out from the wall?
It projects 18.5cm from the wall, and it is 19cm high and 8cm long, so it suits narrow walls beside doors and beds.
Is there a switch on the light?
There is no switch on the light itself. It is switched at the wall, so you control it from a wall switch in the room.
