Walnut Wall Reading Lamp with a Stone-Effect Shade
A short cylinder shade in a sand-coloured stone finish, mounted on a black ball joint against a solid black walnut plate. The joint turns up, down, left and right, so the beam goes exactly where you point it. As a wall reading lamp it does the one thing that matters: it puts light on the page and keeps it off everything else.
A universal joint, not a fixed angle
Most wall spots tilt on a single axis. This one moves on a ball, so the head can be aimed diagonally as well as up and down — useful when the bed, the chair or the bookshelf is not directly below the fitting. A knurled screw sets the tension so it holds position.
Walnut and stone instead of metal
The plate is solid black walnut with the grain left visible, and the shade has a porous, sand-toned stone texture. Together they sit with japandi, wabi-sabi and warm minimalist rooms where a black metal spot would feel too hard. The whole fitting stands 20 cm off the wall, so it clears a headboard comfortably.

Frequently asked questions
Will the head stay where I set it?
Yes. The ball joint tightens with a knurled screw, so you can increase the friction if the head starts to drift after repeated adjustment.
How high should I mount it above a bed?
Around 60 cm above the mattress, set slightly to the outside of the pillow. With 20 cm of projection and a ball joint, you can then angle the beam down onto the book rather than across the bed.

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.
