The Kinso WB35 is a 350mm pleated wall light with a central opal globe one G9 globe to 6W, not supplied inantique copper, antique gold or antique silver.

A pleated disc radiating from a lit centre

The form is the product. A sculptural pleated surface radiates outward from acentral illuminated globe, so the light does two things at once: itglows at the middle and it rakes across the pleats, which throwsalternating bright and shadowed rays out to the rim. On a plain wall that produces asunburst rather than a lit disc and it only works because the pleats catchlight at an angle.

The finish is doing half the work. All three colourways areantique and textured, not polished copper, gold or silver.A textured metal surface varies how each pleat catches the light, so the rays read asuneven and hand-made rather than machined. A polished version of the same shape would look like amirror; these do not.

It does not change colour. Our record carries acolour-changing flag against it. It takes one ordinary G9 globe and includes none there is nothing in the fitting capable of it.

350mm across, projecting 150mm

A 350mm disc standing 150mm off the wall on a120mm backplate, at 0.95kg. That projection is whatlets the pleats catch light from the side but it also means the Kinso isnot a hallway fitting: 150mm into a circulation space is an obstruction.It belongs on a wall you look at, not one you walk past.

The globe is central and diffused

One G9 to 6W, not supplied, behind a 120mm opal shade so the source itself is hidden and even, and only the pleats around it showstructure. That means any G9 will do: the globe you choose affects brightness andwarmth, not the look. Dimming is globe dependent a dimmable G9 with a walldimmer will dim it, and on a sunburst fitting dimming is worth having, because at low output therays are all you see.

It is ClassI earth required and hard-wired. Alicensed electrician installs it genuinely, on this page.

The smaller of two

The Kinso also comes at 500mm, at 1.7kg and the same150mm projection. Both take the same 6W G9 behind the same120mm shade so the light is identical and only the disc grows. Chooseby the wall, not by output.

Where it works

• Feature walls, above sideboards, flanking a fireplace.
• Bedrooms, where the sunburst reads at close range.
• In pairs, where the radiating form repeats.
• Not in a hallway it projects 150mm.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

What does the pleated form do?

The light glows at the central globe and rakes across the pleats, throwing alternating bright and shadowed rays out to the rim. On a plain wall that produces a sunburst rather than a lit disc.

Does it change colour?

No. Our record carries a colour-changing flag against it, which is wrong it takes one ordinary G9 globe and includes none.

Which finish should I choose?

All three are antique and textured rather than polished copper, gold or silver. The texture varies how each pleat catches light, so the rays read as uneven and hand-made. A polished version of the same shape would look like a mirror.

Can I put it in a hallway?

Not comfortably it projects 150mm, which is an obstruction in a circulation space. It belongs on a wall you look at, not one you walk past.

What globe should I fit?

Any G9 to 6W. The source sits behind a 120mm opal shade, so it is hidden and even the globe affects brightness and warmth, not the look.

Can I dim it?

It depends on the globe. A dimmable G9 with a wall dimmer will dim it, and on a sunburst fitting that is worth having: at low output the rays are all you see.

Should I get the 350 or the 500?

Both take the same 6W G9 behind the same 120mm shade, so the light is identical and only the disc grows. Choose by the wall, not by output.
