Wall Lamp With Reading Light | Fabric Shade E27 Bedside Sconce With A Flexible LED Reading Arm

Two switches is the feature that matters here. The fabric shade gives a warm diffused glow for the room and the flexible LED arm gives a tight beam for a page, and each is controlled separately, so one person can read while the other sleeps without a negotiation about the main light. Most wall lamps with a reading arm run both from a single switch, which defeats the point of having two.

That is the hotel arrangement, and it is a good one. A chrome base keeps the fitting slim against the wall, the fabric shade softens everything the main lamp puts out, and the reading arm bends to the position you actually sit in rather than the one the manufacturer assumed. It frees the nightstand of a lamp entirely, which in a small bedroom is the difference between a usable surface and a crowded one.

Buy it now for a bedroom, a guest room or a small apartment where the bedside surface is already full. It measures twenty eight by twenty seven by eighteen centimetres on a ten centimetre square base, takes an E27 bulb up to sixty watts which is not included, and suits a room of three to five square metres. Fit by a qualified electrician.
