The Solaris Timber Alabaster Sconce redefines โQuiet Luxuryโ by combining the rich, organic warmth of a dark walnut-finished wood tray with the ethereal translucency of a hand-honed alabaster disc. The design features a sophisticated axial arrangement, where the glowing stone core is framed by a deep-toned timber backplate and punctuated by two minimalist metallic spheres.
FAQ
Will the stone on my sconce look like the one in the photo?
The design will be the same, but the stone itself will be a little different. The alabaster is hand-honed from natural stone, so the cloudy white and the soft grey lines vary from piece to piece. The sconce in the photo has a clear, pale band running across it, and yours might show more or less of that. The wooden-toned backplate and the two small metal spheres follow the same design every time. Orders take 5 to 10 days on average to prepare before they ship.
How much light does it give off?
It gives a soft, warm glow that comes through the stone. The LED is built in at 3000K, and the alabaster turns that into a gentle, even light with no glare. It stands out against the dark backplate, so the glow looks bright even at a low level. It's ideal as accent or mood lighting beside a bed, in a hallway, or next to a mirror. It isn't designed to light a whole room or to read by on its own. For tasks, add a ceiling light or a lamp.
Will the walnut color suit my room?
The finish is a deep walnut color, a dark brown with warm red undertones. It works well with cream or warm white walls, natural wood furniture, and brass or dark metal details. On very dark walls, the backplate will blend in, and the glowing stone will carry more of the effect. On pale walls, the backplate stands out more, almost like a framed piece. Screens show brown tones a little differently, so hold a piece of wood or fabric from your room up to the photo if the match matters. If you have other dark wood in the room, this sconce will pair well with it.
Which size should I choose?
There are four sizes, listed as diameter by height: 19 x 24cm (7.5" x 9.4"), 20 x 20cm (7.9" x 7.9"), 20 x 50cm (7.9" x 19.7"), and 25 x 60cm (9.8" x 23.6"). The two compact sizes suit bedsides, small walls, and the sides of a mirror. The 20 x 50cm and 25 x 60cm versions are taller and work in hallways, on stair walls, and beside a headboard. A common starting point is hanging it with the center around 150cm from the floor. Cut a piece of paper to the same size and tape it to the wall to judge the scale before you drill.
Can I dim it, and do I need an electrician to install it?
It has a push button switch and isn't dimmable, so it can't be used with a dimmer. The sconce is wall mounted and runs on AC 110 to 240V, which suits most homes. If you're connecting it to wiring in the wall, a licensed electrician is the safe choice. Turn the power off at the breaker before anyone starts work. The shade is solid stone, so fix the sconce firmly to the wall with proper anchors or into a stud, especially on the larger sizes.
Can it go near moisture, and how do I clean it?
It's made for indoor use and isn't rated for wet areas, so keep it away from direct splashes and heavy steam. Alabaster is a natural stone that can take in moisture, and a damp bathroom isn't a good place for it. To clean it, switch off the light and let it cool. Use a soft, dry cloth on the stone and the backplate, and a soft brush for dust in any edges. Alabaster is soft, so avoid abrasive pads, glass cleaner, and acidic products. For a mark, dab it with a barely damp cloth and dry the spot straight away.
