The Elgar WB is a 250mm indoor wall light insatin black with white or matt nickel with white oneE27 globe to 40W, not supplied.

The globe is not included, whatever our page implied.It said the 40w bulb is estimated to last for up to 25,000 hours, which reads asthough a lamp comes with the fitting. It does not.

40W is the fitting’s maximum the most the holder and the shade arebuilt to carry and the 25,000-hour figure describes aglobe you have to buy. What you actually want:

• A warm 2700K LED E27 at 6 to 9W, which gives roughlythe light of an old 60W globe and sits far inside the 40W limit.
• Not a 40W incandescent or halogen there is no reason to go near theceiling, and it puts real heat into a wall fitting.
• Rated for enclosed fittings if the shade is closed ask us, because no source says whether it is.

Ask us and we will supply the globe with it.

Two-tone and that is the whole design

Both finishes pair a coloured body with white:

• Satin black with white the strongest contrast. The body reads as adark graphic shape against the wall and the white elementcatches and returns the light. Contemporary, and it holds its own on a dark orstrongly coloured wall.
• Matt nickel with white quieter. Nickel is a soft coolgrey, so the fitting recedes against a light wall and the white simplycontinues it. The choice when you want light on the wall rather than a fitting on it.

The white half is doing real work in both: on a wall light, a white surface next tothe source bounces light back onto the wall, which spreads the wash and stops thefitting reading as a bright point with darkness around it.

A warning about the size, because our own sources are eighttimes apart. The datasheet records 200cm high by160cm wide two metres by 1.6 metres, which would be a wallpanel, not a light. Our record says 250mm by 250mm.

We have published 250mm, which is a plausible size for a wall light and whichthe datasheet’s figures match if its units are read as millimetres rather than centimetres. Butask us to confirm before you set out a position, and note thatno projection is recorded at all so we cannot tell you how far it stands offthe wall.

What our page never said

The description ran to several paragraphs about being modern,energy efficient, easy to install andlow-maintenance, and never described the fitting not itsshape, not its material, not what the light does.

Here is what we can tell you, and what we cannot.

• It is a 250mm square-ish wall light taking astandard E27 screw globe the same base as a household lamp, so replacementsare available anywhere.
• It is IP20, so indoor and dry rooms only not a bathroom.
• The material is not recorded. The field that should hold it contains thefinish list instead. Ask us if it matters on a wall fitting,metal and plastic behave differently over time.
• Dimming is not recorded either. On a fitting that simply holds an E27 it will beglobe dependent, as every other E27 fitting in this range is, butwe have not asserted it.

Its warranty is ONE year, not the three most of thiscatalogue carries and unlike several others we have reviewed, that figure isconsistent across the datasheet and our record, so it is agenuine commercial term rather than a data error. Worth knowing before you buy a run ofthem. If you want a wall light with the full three-year term, ask us.

IP20 indoor and dry locations only. Hard-wired; a licensed electricianinstalls it.

Where it works

• Living rooms, bedrooms and offices a general wall layer.
• Hallways, repeated.
• Dark or strongly coloured walls the black-and-white version holds its own.
• Confirm the size and projection with us before setting out a position.
• One-year warranty, and it is genuine.

Specifying it

250mm confirm with us; our sources differ by a factor of eight, andprojection is not recorded. In satin black with white ormatt nickel with white; material not recorded ask us. OneE27 globe to 40W maximum NOT supplied; fit a warm LED at 69W;dimming not recorded ask us. 220240V,IP20 indoor and dry locations only. A licensed electrician installs it. Warranty is ONE year, and it is a genuine term.

Questions

Does it come with a globe?

No and our page implied otherwise by saying the 40w bulb is estimated to last for up to 25,000 hours. The 40W is the fittings maximum, the most the holder and shade are built to carry, and the 25,000-hour figure describes a globe you have to buy. Ask us and we will supply one with it.

What globe should I fit?

A warm 2700K LED E27 at 6 to 9 watts, which gives roughly the light of an old 60W globe and sits far inside the 40W limit. Not a 40W incandescent or halogen there is no reason to go near the ceiling, and it puts real heat into a wall fitting. Ask us whether the shade is enclosed, because no source says.

How big is it?

250mm, which is what we have published but our sources are eight times apart. The datasheet records 200cm by 160cm, which would be a wall panel rather than a light, and our record says 250 by 250mm. Ask us to confirm before you set out a position, and note that no projection is recorded at all.

What is it made of?

Not recorded the field that should hold the material contains the finish list instead. Ask us if it matters: on a wall fitting, metal and plastic behave differently over time.

Which finish should I choose?

Satin black with white is the strongest contrast the body reads as a dark graphic shape and the white element catches and returns the light, so it holds its own on a dark or strongly coloured wall. Matt nickel with white is quieter: a soft cool grey that recedes against a light wall, for when you want light on the wall rather than a fitting on it.

What is the warranty?

One year, not the three most of this catalogue carries and that figure is consistent across the datasheet and our record, so it is a genuine commercial term rather than a data error. Worth knowing before you buy a run of them; ask us if you want a wall light with the full three-year term.

Can I dim it?

Dimming is not recorded in any source. On a fitting that simply holds an E27 it will be globe dependent, as every other E27 fitting in this range is, but we have not asserted it. Ask us if a dimmer is planned.
