Nordic Adjustable Dome Wall Lamp

A dome shade on an adjustable arm is the most practical bedside light there is. The dome contains the beam so it lands where it is pointed rather than spilling across the room, and the adjustment means you can point it at a book, at the floor or at the wall as the evening changes.

It is offered in three plain finishes - grey, white and black - so it can either recede into a pale wall or sit against it as a deliberate dark shape. White reads as light against a darker wall and grey sits between the two, which is useful in rooms where a high-contrast fitting would be one strong element too many.

The mechanism holds its position rather than drifting under the weight of the shade, which is the detail that separates an adjustable light worth owning from one that becomes fixed by irritation within a month. Mounted at the wall it frees the bedside table. It is a hardwired fitting - isolate the circuit at the breaker panel first, and have a qualified electrician confirm the fixture's rated voltage before wiring it in.
