{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What are wall lights used for?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Wall lights put warm light at eye level: flattering rooms and faces, lighting corridors and stairwells, framing bedsides and mirrors, and adding the layer that makes a room feel finished. They complement ceiling lights rather than replace them. Fritz Fryer makes each of ours to order in Herefordshire."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How high should wall lights be mounted?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"As a rule, mount wall lights 1.6 to 1.8 metres from the floor, roughly at or just above eye level, so the light flatters rather than glares. Beside a bed, drop lower to around shoulder height when sitting up. Along a hallway, keep heights consistent and space fittings evenly down the run."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How many wall lights does a room need?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Wall lights work best in pairs or rhythm: flanking a fireplace, bed or mirror, or repeated down a hallway. A single wall light can look stranded; two or more look intentional. For a hallway, allow one roughly every 2.5 to 3 metres. Tell us your room and we will suggest a layout."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can wall lights be used instead of ceiling lights?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"In some rooms, yes. A hallway, snug or bedroom can run beautifully on wall lights and lamps alone, which keeps the light low and warm. In kitchens and bathrooms you will still want ceiling or task light. The most comfortable rooms usually use both, layered and dimmed."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can wall lights be dimmed?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. All our wall lights take LED bulbs and dim normally with dimmable LEDs on a compatible dimmer, and dimmed wall light is one of the most flattering things a room can have in the evening. We can recommend bulb and dimmer pairings for each fitting."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are adjustable wall lights good for reading?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, they are the best answer. An adjustable or swing-arm wall light puts light exactly on the page without taking bedside table space, mounted around shoulder height when sitting up. Our Moccas spotlight and Hay swing arm are made to order for exactly this job."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can wall lights be made to match my other fittings?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Every Fritz Fryer wall light is made to order in our Herefordshire workshop, so finishes and sizes can be matched to your ceiling lights, pendants and lamps. Many customers build a coordinated scheme across a room or whole house in one finish."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much do wall lights cost?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Our made-to-order wall lights are priced comparably with premium retail brands, rising with size and complexity. What the extra buys is solid brass and proper glass, handmaking in Herefordshire, finishes matched to your scheme, and fittings built to last decades rather than seasons."}}]}
