Alabaster Wall Lights

Alabaster wall lights put translucent stone between the light source and the room, so the wall gets a warm halo instead of a hard beam. This page gathers the 29 wall lights and sconces with alabaster in the name, from a palm-sized orb to a slim column that runs up to 179 cm.

Small orbs, long tubes and flat discs

Size is the first decision, and most designs leave it to you: 21 of the 29 are offered in more than one size. The Alabaster Elegance Mini Orb is a compact orb, 12 or 15 cm across, and the Nordic Alabaster Davina is a flat disc in 13.8 or 20 cm. At the long end, the Soléa Tube comes in 35, 70 or 105 cm and the Verita Column in 82, 127 or 179 cm, both in gold or black. One design, the Agatha, is named as artificial alabaster; the other 28 name the stone itself.

Finish, light source and wiring

Gold is offered as a colour on eight of these and black on nine, and four have brass in the name. The light-source line differs from one to the next: some list an integrated LED, while the Monty Linea, the Nordic Alba and the Serenata Flute list an LED or Edison bulb. Seven installation lines say hardwired or direct wiring, and the Nordic Alabaster Davina needs a recessed driver, so read the installation line before you plan the wall.

Where to hang one

Alabaster lets the light through instead of aiming it, so these suit a glow beside something, not a spotlight on it: a pair framing a bed or a mirror, or a single one at the turn of a landing. In a hall or on a landing, centre the stone about 150-170 cm (60-66 in) from the floor, roughly standing eye level; beside a bed, hang it lower, roughly 75-90 cm (30-36 in) above the mattress, as the bedroom lighting ideas guide sets out. Pick a warm 2700K bulb to keep the stone honey-coloured. The alabaster guide covers the stone, and alabaster lighting adds the pendants and ceiling lights. To bring the glow overhead, the pendants with alabaster in the name are gathered on one page. For a denser stone on the wall, see marble wall lights; every wall-mounted style sits under wall lighting.

FAQ

How high should an alabaster wall light be hung?

In a hall or on a landing, put the centre of the stone at about 150-170 cm (60-66 in) from the floor, roughly standing eye level; on a staircase, measure that from the step nosing. Beside a bed, hang it lower, roughly 75-90 cm (30-36 in) above the mattress. Choose a spot the shoulders pass clear of.

Which bulb colour suits an alabaster wall light?

Warm white, around 2700K, keeps the stone honey-coloured; the colour temperature guide compares it with cooler options. Where the light source is integrated there is no bulb to choose.

Do alabaster wall lights come in more than one size?

Most do: 21 of the 29 offer more than one size, from a 12 cm orb to a 179 cm column. Check each product page for its size options before you compare them.
