Swing Arm Wall Light in White and Natural Wood
A domed white shade on a jointed wooden arm, hinged at the plate, at the elbow and at the shade. Fold it flat to the wall when you are not using it, then pull it out over a book when you are. A swing arm wall light is the one format that changes shape with the room instead of staying put.
Three joints, one honest reading light
The shade alone rotates through 180°, and the two arm joints move independently. That combination puts the light exactly where a fixed sconce cannot: low over a pillow, out across a desk, or turned up to bounce off the ceiling. As wall mounted reading lights go, the deep dome matters as much as the arm — it keeps the bulb hidden and the beam pointed down.
Scandi materials, small footprint
White powder-coated metal with a natural beech-toned arm — the palette that suits pale walls, oak furniture and linen. The back plate is small and the arm folds close, so it works in a narrow bedroom, a child's room, a study, or beside a sofa where a table lamp would take up space you do not have.

Frequently asked questions
Can it fold flat against the wall?
Yes. Both arm joints close, so the shade sits close to the plate when the light is not in use — useful in a narrow bedroom or beside a door.
Is it suitable above a bed?
Yes, and it is one of the better options. Angle the dome down towards the pillow and the light lands on the page, not across the room, so it does not disturb anyone next to you.
Will the joints stay where I put them?
Each pivot tightens with a screw bolt, so you can adjust the friction. If an arm starts to drop over time, a small turn of the bolt takes up the slack.

Bedside lamp questions, answered
Everything you need to know before ordering — bulbs, delivery, returns and safety.
Which bulb do I need for my bedside lamp?
Most of our bedside lamps use a standard E27 (large screw) or E14 (small screw) fitting — you'll find the exact base type in the Specifications table above. All fittings are standard in the UK, so bulbs are easy to find in any supermarket or online. For a bedside lamp we recommend a warm white bulb (2700K) between 25W and 60W equivalent: it gives the soft, cosy glow a bedroom needs, rather than the cold light of a work lamp.
Can I use an LED bulb with this lamp?
Yes. All our lamps work with LED bulbs, and we actually recommend them: an LED uses up to 90% less energy than a traditional bulb, stays cool to the touch and lasts 15,000+ hours. Choose a warm white LED (2700K) for a relaxing bedside light, and a dimmable LED if you plan to use a dimmer.
How long does delivery take in the UK?
Your order is prepared and dispatched within 24 to 48 hours. Delivery across the UK then typically takes 7 to 12 working days, and every parcel is sent with tracking — you'll receive your tracking number by email as soon as your lamp ships, and you can follow it at any time on our Track Your Order page.
What if the lamp doesn't suit my bedroom?
No problem. You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind and return your lamp for a refund. Check the dimensions in the Specifications table before ordering to make sure it fits your nightstand — and if you're unsure whether a style will work in your room, our team is happy to advise before you buy.
Are your lamps safe and UK compatible?
Yes. Every lamp we sell is CE certified and designed to work with standard UK plugs, sockets and bulbs. Fabric and wood models use heat-safe fittings, and we recommend LED bulbs for the coolest, safest operation — especially for children's night lights.
Is it safe to order on your website?
Completely. Checkout is protected by SSL encryption and handled by Shopify Payments, the same secure system used by over a million stores worldwide. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and our customer support team is available 7 days a week, 9am to 7pm, if you need help with an order.
