Bedroom Wall Lights

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What are the best wall lights for a bedroom?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The best bedroom wall lights do two jobs: soft ambient light for relaxing, and directed light for reading. Swing-arm and adjustable reading lights beside the bed handle the second job best, while shaded or fabric-shaded wall lights give a warmer, more flattering general glow than a bare bulb ever will."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How high should bedroom wall lights be mounted beside a bed?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"As a guide, bedside wall lights mount with the light source roughly 1.1 to 1.3 metres from the floor, or about 30 to 45 centimetres above the top of the mattress, so they light a book without glaring into your eyes. Swing-arm designs forgive a lot here, because you can fine-tune the position every night."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are swing-arm wall lights good for reading in bed?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes - they are the best choice for most bedrooms. A swing-arm wall light pulls out over your book when you read and folds back against the wall afterwards, so one fitting serves both people in a double bed without compromise. Ours are made to order in brass and steel, so the arms stay smooth and firm through years of nightly use."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Should bedroom wall lights be wired or plug-in?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Wired wall lights give the cleanest finish and switch from the wall or a bedside switch; plug-in versions avoid chasing cables into walls, which suits rentals and quick updates. If you are renovating, wire them with a switch or dimmer within reach of the bed - reaching for the light should never mean getting out from under the duvet."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can bedroom wall lights be dimmed?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Our bedroom wall lights take LED bulbs, and with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer they move from bright morning light to a low, restful glow. Dimming beside the bed is one of the most-used controls in a bedroom scheme, so we recommend it wherever the wiring allows."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much do bedroom wall lights cost?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Our bedroom wall lights currently range from around £250 for compact contemporary designs to just under £1,500 for our largest swing-arm fittings, with most designs between £300 and £700. Studio Stock outlet pieces, when available, cost less. Matching made-to-order pairs are easy to arrange because every fitting comes from one workshop."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are Fritz Fryer bedroom wall lights made in the UK?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Our bedroom wall lights are designed and handmade in our Herefordshire workshop, as we have done since 1982. Hand-spinning, soldering, wiring and testing all happen under one roof, and each of our own fittings is made to order, so a pair either side of your bed will match exactly - and can still be repaired or re-finished years later."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can bedroom wall lights match the rest of my bedroom lighting?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Most of our wall light designs belong to wider collections, so the same shade, arm and finish can run across ceiling lights, pendants and table lamps for a coherent room. See our bedroom ceiling lights and bedroom pendant lights for the matching pieces, or ask us to help you plan the whole scheme."}}]}
