Lecta Adjustable Reading Wall Light

A reading light only works if it points at the page. The Lecta Adjustable Reading Wall Light from Decor Auremont mounts on the wall and carries its LED head on an arm that swings and pivots, so the light lands on your book rather than on the wall behind it or in your partner's eyes. Mounted beside a bed it does the job of a bedside lamp while giving the nightstand back to books, glasses and a glass of water.

Because it adjusts, one fixture covers several jobs. Pull the arm out and angle it down for focused reading, fold it back against the wall and aim it upward for a soft ambient glow, or turn it toward a chair when the room's use changes. The LED head runs cool enough to reposition while lit and efficient enough to leave on through a long evening.

It works beside beds, reading chairs, desks and in bunk or dorm setups where floor space is scarce. Fixtures like this are usually hard-wired to a wall box, so unless one is already in place at the right height, plan the installation with a qualified electrician. Measure the position against your mattress or seat height first, since a sconce mounted too high loses the focused reading angle that makes it worth fitting.
