RoomsIndoor dry locations only, not for bathrooms. Natural alabasterWhite, grey and amber when lit. Alabaster is a soft, translucent stone. Light passes through it before it reaches the room, so the shade glows rather than glares. Soft grey clouds By day the stone reads pale and milky, with veining like light cloud cover. From a natural block Each shade is cut from a block of natural stone, veins and all. No two the same Because every shade comes from a different block, no two have the same veining. Natural alabaster shade CareKeep the stone soft and bright. Alabaster is a soft, porous stone. A light, dry touch keeps the shade glowing evenly for years. 01Switch off first Turn it off at the wall and let the bulb and stone cool before you clean. 02Dust it dry Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a soft brush, working gently over the veining. 03Skip water and sprays Water, glass cleaner and household sprays can mark or dull the stone. 04Bronze, dry cloth only Wipe the backplate, cord and cap with a dry cloth; skip metal polish so the antique finish stays even. Keep it in dry rooms: Larmelle is rated IP20 for indoor dry locations, so bathrooms and damp walls are out. FAQBefore you wire it in. Small 17.3 in / 44 cmLarge 22.8 in / 58 cmØ 5.0 in backplateE26 / E27, max 40WBulb not includedHardwiredIP20, indoor dry Are bulbs included, and what bulb should I buy?No, bulbs are not included. Each sconce takes one E26 / E27 bulb up to 40W. A 2700K warm white suits it best, and a dimmable bulb lets it dim. The final light color depends on the bulb you choose.Which size should I choose?The small is 17.3 in (44 cm) tall and 4.7 in (12 cm) wide, a good fit for bedsides and narrow hallways. The large is 22.8 in (58 cm) tall and 6.7 in (17 cm) wide, better for stair landings, taller walls and flanking a fireplace. Both use the same 5.0 in (13 cm) backplate.How high should I mount it, and how far apart for a pair?Mount the small at about 60–66 in from the floor and the large at about 62–68 in. For a pair, space the small 28–36 in apart and the large 36–48 in apart. How is it installed?It is hardwired to a wall junction box and runs on a wall switch. We recommend having a licensed electrician install it.Can I use it in a bathroom?It is rated IP20 for indoor dry locations, so it is not suited to bathrooms, showers or outdoor walls.Is the alabaster real, and will mine look like the photos?Yes, each shade is cut from natural alabaster. Because every shade comes from a different block of stone, the veining on yours will be its own, never an exact match to the photos.
