01 / The feeling
Sculptural Light, Seamless Architecture
This elegant ribbed plaster wall light casts beautiful up and down beams that add instant architectural drama to any space. The Onda's paintable finish means you can match it perfectly to your walls for a seamless, built-in look, or create contrast with a bold colour choice. Its sculptural ribbed texture catches the light beautifully, adding subtle depth and interest even when switched off.
The plaster construction offers excellent durability whilst maintaining that sophisticated, high-end aesthetic associated with architectural lighting. Being fully paintable gives you complete creative control — redecorate whenever you fancy without replacing your light fitting. The dual-beam design provides both ambient uplighting and functional downlighting, making it ideal for hallways, living rooms, or bedrooms where you want to create atmosphere without compromising on practical illumination.

Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
What type of bulb does the Onda plaster wall light require?
The Onda requires one G9 bulb (not included). G9 bulbs are small capsule-style bulbs commonly available in LED, halogen, or incandescent versions. For energy efficiency and longevity, we recommend a G9 LED bulb, which will also run cooler if you plan to paint the plaster fitting.
Can this plaster wall light be dimmed?
Dimming capability depends on the bulb you choose and your dimmer switch. If you fit a dimmable G9 LED bulb and install it on a compatible LED dimmer circuit, the Onda can be dimmed. Always check that your bulb is labelled as dimmable and that your existing dimmer switch is rated for LED loads to avoid flickering.
Do I need an electrician to install this wall light?
Yes, under UK Building Regulations Part P, installing or altering fixed mains-voltage lighting must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person registered with a self-certification scheme. The Onda is a hardwired fitting and must be connected directly to your mains supply, so professional installation is required.
What are the dimensions of the Onda ribbed wall light?
The Onda measures 240mm wide × 110mm high × 70mm deep (projection from the wall). This compact profile makes it suitable for hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms without protruding too far into the space, while still delivering a striking sculptural presence.
Can I use this plaster wall light in a bathroom?
The Onda has an IP20 rating, which means it is suitable only for dry indoor locations and not for use in bathrooms or other moisture-prone areas. For bathrooms, you would need a fitting with a minimum IP44 rating (or IP65 for shower zones), depending on the zone.
Can I paint the Onda wall light before or after installation?
You can paint the Onda either before or after installation, though most decorators find it easier to paint before mounting. Use standard emulsion or water-based paint for best results. If painting after installation, ensure the power is off, and avoid getting paint on the bulb or inside the lamp holder.
