Lunaris Eclipse-Inspired Wall Sconce

The eclipse idea is simple and effective: a solid disc sits in front of a lit ring, so the light appears as a corona around a dark center rather than as a bright face. From across a room you register the shape first and the illumination second.

That arrangement also solves a practical problem. Because the disc blocks the direct view of the source, there is no glare from any angle, which makes the fitting comfortable mounted at eye level in a corridor or beside a bed where a bright face would be intrusive.

The output is ambient rather than task light, so it works alongside a reading lamp rather than instead of one. Two sizes are offered, 20 cm and 25 cm, which allows a larger piece to anchor a feature wall with smaller ones repeating along a hallway. This is a hardwired fitting: isolate the circuit at the breaker panel before installation, and have a qualified electrician carry out the work if you are not confident with house wiring.
