Know before you buy
Yes, the sphere is fully adjustable. You can rotate it to achieve either direct task lighting or a softer, indirect glow depending on your preference.
The lamp uses a blown opaline glass diffuser to create a soft, warm white light at 2700K. It is designed to provide an inviting, ambient glow rather than harsh, focused illumination.
The fixture is rated for 220V. Please ensure your local electrical infrastructure supports this voltage before installation.
The black finish offers a bold, graphic contrast that suits modern or industrial interiors, while the champagne finish provides a warmer, more metallic aesthetic that feels slightly more refined and decorative.
The lamp measures 8 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 8.5 inches high. Given its 3.5-pound weight, it is a relatively lightweight fixture that can be mounted on most standard wall surfaces.
The fixture requires one LED bulb with a 60W maximum. Please check the specific packaging or your retailer’s details, as bulbs are often sold separately.
