Axis 18" Pivoting Library Light

It is 45.7 cm wide and 7.6 cm high, and projects 33.7 cm from the wall on a 7.6 × 36.8 cm rectangular backplate. The deep projection lets it reach over bookshelves or a reading chair.

It uses a dedicated LED rated at 18 W with an output of 2500 lumens, so no bulbs are needed. That is a strong, focused light for reading, bookshelves or artwork.

It is hardwired and requires a smaller outlet box behind the 7.6 × 36.8 cm backplate, so check this with your electrician early. It is rated IP22, so in a bathroom keep it outside zones 0, 1 and 2 under CEI 64-8.

Antique-Burnished Brass. The design is by Kelly Wearstler for the Visual Comfort Signature Collection; the warm brass works well against wood panelling, painted bookcases and dark walls.
