Black Wall Lights

Matt and near-black finishes run through this group, on swing arms, arched tubes and drop-arm brackets made from aluminium, brass and steel. Shades range from bare lamp ends with no diffuser through to hammered and amber glass bells, so the look moves from strictly industrial to something softer depending on which piece you pick. Black reads as a strong outline against most wall colours, which makes these useful where you want the fitting itself to show rather than disappear. A number are wired for a plug-in socket with an in-line switch, worth checking if you'd rather avoid an electrician for a bedside pair.
