Hampton brushed brass wall light, white linen cylindrical shade

A linen drum on a brushed brass bracket

The shade is a short cylinder of white linen, edged with piping at the top and bottom. It is carried by a flat arm that leaves the backplate, runs horizontally, then rises at a right angle beneath the fabric. The backplate, taller than the shade, repeats the same square section and the same brushed brass finish, with a small visible fixing knob.

Light filtered by the fabric

The E27 socket accepts a bulb of 60 W at most, to be bought separately. The linen filters the source and spreads the light above and below the shade, without glare. The wall light supports a dimmer if the chosen bulb is itself dimmable; a 2700 K LED gives a soft rendering in the evening. Class 1 light fitting: it is connected to earth.

Footprint and fitting height

Allow for 30.5 cm high, 17.1 cm wide and 22.9 cm projection. In a living room or hallway, place the centre of the shade at about 1.60 to 1.70 m from the floor. Elstead covers this model with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
