Task Light. Antique Character. One Fitting.
An adjustable wall light in antique brass with a directional shade that extends 400mm from the wall. The reach puts focused light directly over a pillow, a worktop or a reading position rather than washing the wall with undirected glow. Constructed in brass with an authentic antique finish that has the depth and warmth of naturally aged metal. The included 10W LED E27 bulb delivers enough output for close reading and food prep. Fully dimmable from task brightness to low ambient warmth. Class 2 with no earth conductor required. IP20 for indoor use. 490mm tall, 140mm wide.
Why This Works Where Others Cannot.
- It replaces the bedside lamp entirely: The 400mm projection puts the shade directly above the pillow. No lamp on the table, no cable behind the headboard, no surface space lost. Each sleeper controls their own light independently.
- Kitchen task lighting without a pendant: Mount above the worktop and the directional shade focuses light on the prep zone. No pendant hanging in the sightline, no chain to clean, no ceiling rose to work around.
- Antique brass that earns its name: The finish is a controlled oxidation, not a sprayed-on gold tone. It has the irregular warmth of metal that has aged naturally, which gives the fitting credibility in period rooms and alongside vintage furniture.
- Dimmed, it becomes a different light: At full output this is a focused work light. Dimmed low the antique brass catches the glow and the fitting becomes a warm, quiet presence on the wall. Two rooms from one fitting.
- E27 is the most common bulb in the UK: When the included LED eventually needs replacing, the replacement is available from any supermarket, hardware shop or online retailer. No specialist sourcing.
- Class 2 simplifies the installation: No earth conductor needed. Compatible with a wider range of existing wiring configurations than Class 1 fittings, which reduces installation complexity.
Where Directed Light Changes a Room.
Flanking a bed in a period bedroom with warm plaster and a timber headboard. Above a kitchen worktop where the brass catches the warmth of oak cabinetry. Beside a reading chair in a study or snug where the reach brings light to the page. On a landing wall where dimmed output provides low-level navigation light after dark. For ideas on how Scandinavian-inspired interiors use warm materials and considered wall lighting to shape calm, functional spaces, our Scandinavian living room design guide covers the approach.
The Light That Reaches the Page.
Most wall lights illuminate the wall they are mounted on. This one reaches past it. At 400mm deep the directional shade extends well beyond the wall surface and puts light exactly where a task demands it: over a pillow, across a chopping board, onto a page held at chest height in bed. That reach is what separates a decorative sconce from a genuine task light.
The arm and shade are constructed in brass with an authentic antique finish. Not lacquered gold. Not polished to a shine. The surface has a deep, warm, slightly irregular tone from controlled oxidation rather than applied colour. It has the weight of a fitting pulled from a mid-century hotel or a well-used library. The directional shade angles downward and adjusts to focus the beam where it is needed.
The included 10W LED E27 bulb is bright enough for close reading and kitchen prep. The fitting is fully dimmable, which gives it a second life as ambient lighting when the task is finished and the evening turns to something quieter. Class 2 means no earth conductor is required. For a table lamp in the same antique brass family that carries the warm metallic tone from wall to surface, the ornate gold leaf table lamp provides a complementary accent on a bedside table or console.
What 400mm of Reach Gives You.
- Light over the task, not the wall. The 400mm depth puts the shade directly above the surface where you need illumination. A book in bed, a kitchen worktop, a desk beside the wall. The light falls on the work, not around it.
- Directional shade for precise aim. The shade angles and adjusts to focus the beam where the task sits. Move it for reading, angle it for food prep, tilt it for a drawing table. One fitting, multiple positions.
- Antique brass with genuine patina. The finish is a controlled oxidation, not a painted effect. The surface has depth, warmth and the slight irregularity of real aged metal. It improves with time rather than degrading.
- 10W LED E27 included. Bright enough for close reading and kitchen prep. E27 is the most common bulb fitting in the UK, so replacements are available anywhere.
- Dimmable from task to ambient. Full output for work. Dimmed for evening atmosphere. The same fitting serves two distinct purposes depending on the hour and the mood.
- Class 2, no earth required. Double insulated. Simpler installation than Class 1 fittings and compatible with a wider range of wall positions and existing wiring.
Why a Wall Task Light Wins.
A bedside lamp occupies the surface you need for a glass of water, a phone, a book. A pendant above a worktop lights the whole counter but not the zone where your hands are working. A wall-mounted task light with 400mm of reach does both jobs without taking any surface space. The base sits flat to the wall, the arm extends outward, and the shade delivers focused light beneath it. In a bedroom: no lamp on the table, no cable behind it. In a kitchen: directed light on the prep surface without a pendant in your sightline.
Rooms That Need Directed Light.
Flanking a bed where each sleeper controls their own reading light independently without disturbing the other. Above a kitchen worktop or breakfast bar where the directional shade puts focused light on the cutting surface. Beside a reading chair or in a study alcove where the 400mm reach brings light to the page without a floor lamp beside the seat. On a landing wall where the antique brass adds warmth and the dimmable output provides low-level evening light for navigating stairs. The finish suits warm plaster, dark-painted walls, exposed brick, period woodwork and rooms where aged metal belongs alongside worn leather, warm timber and natural linen.
Before You Order
- 10W LED E27 included, dimmable. Use with a compatible LED dimmer switch. Check dimmer compatibility before installation for smooth, flicker-free control across the full range.

FAQs: Antique Brass Adjustable Task Light
The shade angles on its arm to direct the beam where the task sits. Tilt it for reading in bed, angle it toward a worktop, or position it over a desk. The adjustment is manual and holds its position once set.
Yes. The 400mm projection puts the shade directly above the pillow, delivering focused reading light without a lamp on the table. No base, no cable, no surface lost. Each side of the bed gets its own independently controlled light.
Yes. The fitting uses a 10W E27 LED bulb which is included and replaceable. E27 is the most common bulb fitting in the UK, available from any supermarket or hardware shop. Choose warm white for the richest result through the antique brass shade.
Bedrooms where it flanks a headboard for independent reading light. Kitchens where it mounts above a worktop or breakfast bar for directed prep lighting. Studies, reading nooks and snugs where the 400mm reach brings light to the page without a floor lamp. Landings and wide hallways where dimmed output provides warm navigation light. The antique brass suits period rooms, warm plaster, exposed brick, dark paint and rooms built around leather, timber and aged metals. For a mirror that pairs naturally with the antique brass in a bedroom or hallway, the walnut oval wall mirror brings a warm timber counterpoint at eye level.
The fitting is compatible with LED dimmer switches. At full output the 10W LED provides bright, focused task light. Dimmed, the shade glows softly and the antique brass catches the warmth, transforming the fitting from a work light into a quiet ambient presence on the wall.
IP20 means the fitting is for indoor use only. It has no protection against moisture. Not suitable for bathrooms, shower rooms or any space where water spray or humidity is sustained.
Class 2 means the fitting is double insulated and does not require an earth conductor. This simplifies installation and widens the range of wall positions and wiring configurations where it can be fitted.
It depends on the mounting height. At bedside height above a headboard the projection puts the shade over the pillow, which is the point. Above a worktop it positions light over the prep surface. In a narrow hallway, mount it higher so the shade sits above head height and the projection is not an obstruction.
490mm height, 140mm width, 400mm depth. Brass construction with antique finish, directional adjustable shade. 10W LED E27 included. Dimmable. 220-240V. Class 2. IP20. Weight 1.26 kg.

In a kitchen: directed light on the prep surface without a pendant in your sightline.
Rooms That Need Directed Light.
Flanking a bed where each sleeper controls their own reading light independently without disturbing the other. Above a kitchen worktop or breakfast bar where the directional shade puts focused light on the cutting surface. Beside a reading chair or in a study alcove where the 400mm reach brings light to the page without a floor lamp beside the seat. On a landing wall where the antique brass adds warmth and the dimmable output provides low-level evening light for navigating stairs. The finish suits warm plaster, dark-painted walls, exposed brick, period woodwork and rooms where aged metal belongs alongside worn leather, warm timber and natural linen.

FAQs
FAQs: Antique Brass Adjustable Task Light
The shade angles on its arm to direct the beam where the task sits. Tilt it for reading in bed, angle it toward a worktop, or position it over a desk. The adjustment is manual and holds its position once set.
Yes. The 400mm projection puts the shade directly above the pillow, delivering focused reading light without a lamp on the table. No base, no cable, no surface lost. Each side of the bed gets its own independently controlled light.
Yes. The fitting uses a 10W E27 LED bulb which is included and replaceable. E27 is the most common bulb fitting in the UK, available from any supermarket or hardware shop. Choose warm white for the richest result through the antique brass shade.
Bedrooms where it flanks a headboard for independent reading light. Kitchens where it mounts above a worktop or breakfast bar for directed prep lighting. Studies, reading nooks and snugs where the 400mm reach brings light to the page without a floor lamp. Landings and wide hallways where dimmed output provides warm navigation light. The antique brass suits period rooms, warm plaster, exposed brick, dark paint and rooms built around leather, timber and aged metals. For a mirror that pairs naturally with the antique brass in a bedroom or hallway, the walnut oval wall mirror brings a warm timber counterpoint at eye level.
The fitting is compatible with LED dimmer switches. At full output the 10W LED provides bright, focused task light. Dimmed, the shade glows softly and the antique brass catches the warmth, transforming the fitting from a work light into a quiet ambient presence on the wall.
IP20 means the fitting is for indoor use only. It has no protection against moisture. Not suitable for bathrooms, shower rooms or any space where water spray or humidity is sustained.
Class 2 means the fitting is double insulated and does not require an earth conductor. This simplifies installation and widens the range of wall positions and wiring configurations where it can be fitted.
It depends on the mounting height. At bedside height above a headboard the projection puts the shade over the pillow, which is the point. Above a worktop it positions light over the prep surface. In a narrow hallway, mount it higher so the shade sits above head height and the projection is not an obstruction.
