These are the wall lights for rooms that want light without a shade. The LED is the shape: a slim bar up a stairwell, a disc in a hallway, a moon above the bed, so the light itself is the object on the wall.

What an LED wall light does

The light source is the design. There is no shade to diffuse and no bulb to hide, so the piece reads as a line or a disc of light on the wall, and it can be long or wide in a way a shaded sconce cannot. Cadel is a slim strip from 55 to 120 cm with three color temperatures and remote dimming. Link is the simpler black strip in two sizes. Halo is a minimalist LED light in black or gold at 60 or 80 cm, and Luna and Terra are discs at 60, 80, or 100 cm, Luna a moon and Terra the earth, for a wall or a ceiling.

How to choose the right size

Size a strip to the wall's length: a bar about half the height of a stairwell wall, or a third of the width of a headboard wall, reads balanced, and Cadel's five lengths from 55 to 120 cm cover most of them. Size a disc to the room: 60 cm in a hallway or a small bedroom, 80 to 100 cm on a living room or a bedroom feature wall. Mount a strip's center 60 to 65 inches from the floor, and a disc a little higher so the whole shape sits above eye level. All five are wall-mounted and tagged for any ceiling height, and Luna and Terra also mount to a ceiling.

Styles and rooms across the range

A strip suits a stairwell, a hallway, or either side of a bed, where it replaces a lamp without the cord. A disc suits a feature wall or a child's room, and Luna's moon over a bed is the piece people come back for. Where the wall wants a shade, the alabaster sconces and crystal wall sconces pages hold the alternatives, and the outdoor version of the same idea lives in the LED strip wall lights collection.

All five are hardwired and come in black; Halo adds gold. Cadel dims from its remote, Terra runs cool white, and the rest run warm white. Choose the length by the wall, not the room.
