Modern Neoclassical Natural Alabaster Bowl Hallway Corridor Uplight Wall Sconce

The bowl is listed as alabaster, a natural stone, so every one has its own pattern of clouds, veins and tone. Yours will be similar to the photo, with the same milky white and soft cream and amber drifts, but not identical. Alabaster is translucent, so when the light is on, the stone glows warmer and creamier than it looks when it is off.

G9 is a small bulb with two pins that push into the socket, and it does not screw in like an E14 or E27 bulb. Check that the box says G9 before you buy. G9 bulbs are made for different voltages, so choose one that matches the mains voltage in your home. You can use an LED bulb or an Edison-style bulb. A warm white bulb (about 2700K) gives the creamiest glow through the stone. The maximum bulb wattage is not listed, so ask us before you fit a high-wattage bulb.

No. The light is controlled by a push button switch and is not dimmable, so do not connect it to a dimmer. If you want a softer light, choose a lower-output warm white bulb.

The alabaster spreads the light into a soft, warm glow, so it works best as ambient or accent light on a wall, for example on both sides of a bed or along a hallway. For reading in bed, choose a bright LED bulb or add a separate reading light.

The light runs on 110–240V, so the fixture itself suits most countries. It is a wall-mounted light, so fitting it to your wall wiring should be done by a qualified electrician who follows your local rules. Ask us before you order if you need details on how it connects to the power supply.

Switch off the power and let the bulb cool. Dust the stone with a soft, dry cloth or brush. Alabaster is a soft stone that scratches and stains easily and reacts to acids, so avoid water, vinegar, lemon, glass cleaner and abrasive pads. Wipe the metal with a dry cloth. It is for indoor use only, and no water-protection rating is listed, so keep it away from showers, sinks and damp spaces.
