Frequently Asked Questions
How far does it stick out from the wall?
Only a few inches. The curved arms fold back on themselves rather than reaching straight out, which is exactly why this one works in a hallway or stairwell where a deeper fixture would be in the way.
What height should I mount it at?
Around sixty to sixty six inches from the floor works for a hallway or beside a mirror. Beside a bed, drop it lower so the light falls onto the page when you are reading. The backplate hides a standard wall box either way.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
Yes, either side of a vanity mirror is one of its best uses. The forward facing arms light your face evenly instead of casting shadows down from above, which is what makes a mirror actually usable.
Does it work with a dimmer?
It does, and a dimmer is worth fitting. Full brightness suits a hallway, and dialled down it turns a bedside into something much warmer. Use a dimmable bulb to match.
How do I clean the brass?
A soft dry cloth is all it takes. The finish is sealed, so skip polishes and anything abrasive and it will keep its even tone rather than wearing through in patches.
