Wall Lights

Yes, a plaster wall light's white finish can be painted with a good quality emulsion paint, so it blends into the surrounding wall. Knightsbridge plaster wall lights such as the PWL1, the PWL7 and the recessed PWRCC are natural gypsum plaster with a white finish that can be painted, or left white.

A plaster wall light takes a set lamp base, such as G9, E14 or GU10, with a stated maximum wattage. The Knightsbridge PWL1 to PWL6 take a G9 lamp at 40W max, the PWL7 and PWL8 an E14 lamp at 40W max, and the recessed PWRCC and PWRCR a GU10 lamp at 35W max. The lamp is not included with them.

A wall light rated dimmable subject to the lamp dims when a dimmable lamp is fitted, but not with a non-dimmable lamp. Knightsbridge plaster wall lights such as the PWL2 and PWRCR are dimmable subject to the lamp, and they take halogen or LED lamps, with a G9 base on the PWL2 and GU10 on the PWRCR.

A wall light has its own maximum lamp wattage, set by its maker and given in its specification. The Knightsbridge PWL1 to PWL8 take a lamp of 40W maximum, and the recessed PWRCC and PWRCR a GU10 lamp of 35W maximum.

A bathroom or outdoor wall light needs an IP rating with water protection, shown by the second IEC 60529 numeral, and IP20 means no protection against water. The Knightsbridge plaster wall lights such as the PWL1 and PWRCC are rated IP20 in their specifications, so they are for dry indoor rooms, away from baths and showers.

A wall light that sits flush in the wall rather than standing off it. The Knightsbridge PWRCC is round and the PWRCR rectangular; both are trimless gypsum plaster fittings that take a GU10 lamp at 35W max, with a white finish that can be painted.

It lights the wall above and below the fitting at the same time, giving two soft beams that frame the fitting. The Knightsbridge PWL2 is a linear up and down design, the PWL3 and PWL4 are curved, and the PWL7 takes an E14 lamp; the PWL8 is an uplighter that lights upwards only.

No, a plaster wall light is normally supplied without a lamp, so choose one to suit its lamp base and maximum wattage. The Knightsbridge PWL1 to PWL6 need a G9 lamp, the PWL7 and PWL8 an E14 lamp and the PWRCC and PWRCR a GU10 lamp, and they are sold without one.

Yes, plaster wall lights can be fitted singly or in a group, where matching fittings give a smooth ambient lighting feature. The Knightsbridge PWL1, PWL2 and PWL4 can be used as a single fitting or in a group, and the PWRCR as a single fitting or in a series.
