Alabaster Wall Lights
Alabaster wall lights turn a simple light source into a warm, natural glow: the translucent stone lets light pass softly through its veins, with no glare at all. Here you will find wall lights with shades, globes, cylinders and discs in real alabaster, paired with brass, black metal or nickel.
Why choose alabaster for a wall light?
Alabaster is a soft, translucent natural stone. Switched on, it reveals its veining against the light and washes the wall in an even, warm glow. Switched off, it looks like an object carved from stone. As a natural material, its veining, tone and translucency vary from piece to piece.
How to choose the right alabaster wall light
- Shape: slim, vertical models visually stretch hallways and stairwells, while round globes and bowls add a calm accent above a sideboard or bed.
- Finish: brass brings out the warm tone of the stone, black looks graphic and modern, nickel cooler and more understated.
- Bulb: check the details of each light – integrated LED or a holder for a replaceable bulb.
- Size: check the height and projection in the dimensions on the product page, especially beside doors or in narrow hallways.
Where alabaster wall lights look their best
In the living room, a pair of lights frames a sofa or a painting; in the bedroom, they replace the bedside lamp and free up the bedside table. In the hallway and on the stairs, they provide a soft guiding light. The exact dimensions and technical details are on each product page.
Frequently asked questions
At what height should an alabaster wall light be mounted?
In a living room or hallway, the centre of the wall light usually sits at about 150 to 170 cm from the floor; beside the bed, around 60 to 80 cm above the mattress is enough. For tall models such as ZILA at 65 cm or PILBI at 80 cm, measure to the centre of the light rather than its lower edge.
Can I combine several alabaster elements into a larger wall arrangement?
Yes, some models are modular: MAART ranges from a single to a nine-piece version with raw-edged alabaster discs, and NORI comes with one, two or three faceted blocks. KURJE is available as a single panel or as a cascade. This lets you suit a narrow hallway wall as well as the space above a sideboard.
Can an alabaster wall light be dimmed?
GERCE comes in warm white (3000 K) and also in a TRIAC-dimmable version that works with a TRIAC-compatible dimmer. For wall lights with a replaceable bulb holder, you need a dimmable bulb and a suitable dimmer. Each product's specifications state whether the model is dimmable.
