Bedroom Wall Lights

Bedroom wall lights and bedside wall sconces do the job of a table lamp without taking up your nightstand. Battii's bedroom range covers hand-carved alabaster, matte ceramic, frosted glass and natural marble, all hardwired 240V and made to glow rather than glare.

How high should a bedside wall light go?

As a starting point, mount the fitting so the light source sits roughly 150 to 170cm from the floor, or about 60 to 75cm above the mattress. That puts the glow at reading height without shining into your eyes when you lie down. Our mounting height guide has the room-by-room numbers.

Wall lights or table lamps beside the bed?

Wall lights win on space and on aim. They clear the nightstand completely and direct light onto the page rather than across the room, which matters if one of you reads later than the other. We compare the two properly in bedside wall lights vs table lamps, and the best reading lights for bed covers what makes one good.

Which finish suits a bedroom?

Diffused materials do the most work here. Alabaster, ceramic and frosted glass spread light as one soft shape, which reads calm at night. Aim for warm white around 2700K to 3000K, and put the pair on a dimmer if you can. More ideas in our bedroom wall light ideas guide.

How many do I need?

Two, one either side of the bed, is the standard and the one most people want. A single sculptural fitting on a blank feature wall is the other common answer. Our spacing and quantity guide covers the rest of the house.

Every fitting is hardwired 240V, AS/NZS certified and installed by a licensed electrician. From $210, with flat-rate shipping from $15 Australia-wide from Sydney in 2 to 3 business days. Browse by material: alabaster, ceramic, glass, natural stone. Other rooms: living room, hallway and entryway.
