Wall lights at a glance

Translation: machine translated
Wall lights support basic lighting. Thanks to various features such as a swivelling arm or rotating lampshade, they optimise any lighting conditions and also serve as decoration.
In contrast to floor lamps, wall-mounted lamps are the more space-saving solution. Their beam of light illuminates the room exactly where you want it. Whether as reading or mood lighting, there are height-adjustable or swivelling models to suit your needs.
Fixed solutions
Fixed wall lights are suitable where you need indirect light. They are popular in passageways or on the wall behind the sofa. They do not disturb you while you are watching TV and provide pleasant light. They can also be used as night lights in children's rooms or simply as decoration.

Flexible companions
Adjustable wall lights allow you to illuminate a specific area. They are suitable as reading lights on bedside tables or desks. Above the kitchen counter, they help you chop vegetables. Some models can only be adjusted in height, others horizontally. There are also models where you can adjust the wall bracket and lampshade. Think about which zone you want to illuminate in advance.
rotatable
On these models, the shade can be rotated around the base. This allows you to change the cone of light and direct it towards a wall picture or shelf, for example. Details are shown to their best advantage. Rotating wall lights are also suitable near a house entrance. They illuminate the path to the keyhole and make door thresholds more visible.

Swivelling and tiltable
Wall lamps with a swivelling arm go well in the reading corner by the armchair or in sofa corners as well as by the bed. No matter where you place them, make sure that the lamp does not block any walkways, otherwise a collision is inevitable
.
These extendable models also need space. You should therefore choose an area for them that is larger than their radius of movement and not place them at eye level.

All-rounder
The wall lights that give you the most flexibility and are suitable for all applications can be tilted in all directions. If you don't need them, lay them flat against the wall and they won't get in your way.
