Ball Wall Light, Opal Globe on a Cord

Opal Glass Rather Than Clear Is the Reason the Ball Glows Instead of Glaring

A clear globe shows the bulb and puts a hard point of light at eye level, which is the wrong thing to hang beside a bed. This one is opal glass, so the source is diffused across the whole surface and what you see is an evenly lit ball closer to a classic round bulb than to a fitting with a bulb in it. That even glow is why it can hang low over a nightstand without becoming the brightest thing in the room, and it is also why the stacked metal holder above it reads as a detail rather than as a shade trying to block glare.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

How long is the cord and can it be shortened?

About 39.4 inches of twisted fabric cord, and it can be shortened at installation. Set the final drop with the nightstand or the chair in place rather than from a drawing.

Which ball size should I choose?

3.1 inches for a bedside or a narrow wall, 3.9 inches when the fitting is meant to be seen from across the room. The difference is modest in inches and clear on the wall.

Which bulb does it take?

One G9 bi pin LED bulb, not included. A 2700K to 3000K bulb keeps the opal glass warm. A cooler bulb turns the ball blue white, which fights the gold and black finishes.

Does it glare at eye level?

The glass is opal rather than clear, so the source is spread across the whole surface. What you see is an evenly lit ball, which is what lets it hang low beside a bed.

Does it need an electrician?

Yes. It is hardwired to a wall junction box and runs from a wall switch. Ask them to set the cord length during the install, because that is the only convenient moment to do it.

Can it go in a bathroom?

It is rated IP20, with no protection against water. A fabric cord in a steamy room absorbs moisture along its length, which is a problem the glass and the metal do not have.

Around Forty Inches of Cord, and It Can Be Shortened at the Installation

The twisted fabric cord hangs about 39.4 inches, which puts the ball well below the bracket and lets it sit just above a nightstand or beside a chair. That is the decision people get wrong most often with hanging wall lights, and it is worth spending a minute on with the electrician. Two ball sizes are offered, 3.1 and 3.9 inches, in gold, black or chrome.
