Glass wall lights: for which rooms?
Every room in the house can accommodate a beautiful glass wall light. Whether decorating a living room, a hallway near an entrance, or a dining room, the choice of a glass light fixture will project a luminous flow that creates a warm or neutral white atmosphere in every room of the house.
Where and at what height should you install your glass wall light?
As with any wall light, make sure to install it at the upper third of the wall, generally between 1.40 and 1.60 meters from the floor, for comfortable lighting that does not obstruct the field of vision. If you install two lights on either side of a mirror or headboard, allow a distance of about 1.50 to 1.80 meters between the two, depending on the available wall width.
Which glass shade for my wall light?
Depending on the type of glass chosen, the lighting atmospheres will differ.
-
The clear glass wall light: it is a relevant choice for projecting general lighting, both indoors and outdoors. The brilliance of crystal glass is ideal for highlighting the entrance of your hall or the first few square meters of the living room. For workspaces such as an office, white light is perfect for a work session, with a power of about 400 to 800 lumens depending on the distance of the area to be illuminated.
-
The white glass wall light, or opal glass: this is frosted glass, often in a globe or tubular shape. Opal glass is particularly appreciated for its ability to soften the light and avoid any glare — frosted wall lights diffuse a soft glow and brightness that illuminate a certain portion of the room. You will then need a LED or compact fluorescent bulb with a fairly high wattage.
-
The tinted glass wall light: a model to choose to create a warm atmosphere in your living-dining room. In our collection, we have a range of wall lamps made with recessed chrome metal bases, brown wood, or plastic, with a beautiful tinted glass shade. It is typical of the industrial style! A colored glass wall light, like a stained-glass style shade, also creates a very popular retro look — just like our range of fabric wall lights, to vary the materials.
To summarize this point, the power of the light beams will be decided in part by the shade of the bulb or shade you choose. Depending on whether you want your glass wall lights in a bedroom (indirect lighting), the kitchen, or a bathroom (focal and direct lighting), the number of lumens will be set either using a color temperature dimmer, or naturally with a model whose color will be lighter or darker.

Safety and maintenance of your glass wall light
Like any glass object, a glass wall light remains sensitive to impacts — preferably install it away from high-traffic areas, especially in a narrow hallway or near a door. Before any installation, always cut off the power supply at the circuit breaker, and do not hesitate to call a professional if you have any doubts about the connection.
Which bulb for my glass wall light?
Dimmable LED technology is the most appropriate to combine lighting (low energy consumption and adjustable intensity). The halogen bulb is also relevant for heating at the same time, which is interesting if you have a glass wall light in a garage or poorly insulated place. You can also choose a decorative bulb, equipped with a faux tungsten filament to pay tribute to the industrial style!
