The Moreno II WB is a single wall light with a ribbed glass shade, in black, antiquegold or antique silver one E14 globe to 25W, not supplied.

The shade is the same size on every fitting in the range andthat is more useful than it sounds. The Moreno II is made aswall lights and pendants in several sizes, and theribbed glass shade is identical across all of them.

Most ranges scale their shades with the fitting, so a wall light beside a pendant has avisibly smaller shade and the two read as related rather thanmatched. Here they are exactly the same object at every scale.

So a dining room with a Moreno pendant and a hallway with Moreno wall lights read as onedecision, not two purchases from the same family which is the thing most people areactually trying to achieve and rarely can.

Ribbed glass what it does that plain glass does not

The shade is ribbed: vertical fluting moulded into the glass, and it does threethings.

• Lit, each rib catches the light along its own length, so the shadereads as a column of bright vertical lines rather than one even glow. It hastexture and movement, and it changes as you walk past.
• Unlit, the ribbing gives the glass presence in daylight. A plainshade is a plain shade when it is off; a ribbed one is still an object which matters on awall light, where you look at it all day.
• It partly conceals the globe not hidden as behind opal, not exposed asbehind clear. You see a broken, softened source.

The globe and what to fit

One E14 to 25W, not supplied. E14 is the small screw base,SES.

• Use a compact globe candle or golf-ball. Because the ribbing only partlyconceals the source, a large or oddly shaped globe shows through as a shadow.
• Warm 2700K. Against antique gold, cool white reads green;against antique silver, it makes an already-cool metal look grey and dead.
• Fitting a pair? Buy the two together, same brand. Through ribbedglass a colour difference is repeated along every rib, so a mismatch is more visiblehere than on a plain shade.

It dims, with the right globe the datasheet saysglobe dependent, and our record carried no dimming value at all. Onribbed glass dimming is particularly good: low, the ribs become the only thingyou see, which is the reason to choose textured glass over plain.

Three finishes, one shade

• Black the frame reads as a dark outline and theribbed glass carries the fitting. The most graphic and contemporary.
• Antique gold warm and traditional; it sits with brass hardware, timber andwarm paint, and the metal is part of the statement.
• Antique silver the quietest. Softer than chrome and cooler than gold, itsuits grey, taupe and muted palettes where a warm metal would fight them.

The glass is the same in all three, so the light is identical the choice ispurely how much you want to see the fitting.

No dimensions exist in any source. The datasheet’sdimension block is completely empty, our record carries no width orheight, and the page had none.

On a wall light that means we cannot tell you its width, itsheight, or most importantly how far it stands off thewall, which decides whether it clears a door swing or is something you brush against in ahallway. Ask us before you set out a position, and we will get the figures.

Where it works

• Hallways and staircases, repeated and matching a Moreno pendant elsewhere.
• Either side of a bed, or flanking a mirror.
• Living and dining rooms, as a wall layer under a matching pendant.
• No dimensions or projection are recorded ask us before setting out a position.
• IP20 not a bathroom.

Questions

Will it match a Moreno pendant exactly?

Yes, and that is unusual. The ribbed glass shade is the same size on every fitting in the range, where most ranges scale their shades with the fitting so a wall light beside a pendant usually has a visibly smaller shade and the two read as related rather than matched. Here they are exactly the same object at every scale, so a dining room pendant and hallway wall lights read as one decision.

What does the ribbed glass do?

Three things. Lit, each rib catches the light along its own length, so the shade reads as a column of bright vertical lines rather than one even glow it has texture and movement, and it changes as you walk past. Unlit, the ribbing gives the glass presence in daylight, which matters on a wall light you look at all day. And it partly conceals the globe: a broken, softened source rather than a hidden or exposed one.

What globe should I fit?

A compact E14 candle or golf-ball in warm 2700K. Because the ribbing only partly conceals the source, a large or oddly shaped globe shows through as a shadow. Against antique gold, cool white reads green; against antique silver, it makes an already-cool metal look grey and dead.

Can I dim it?

With the right globe the datasheet says globe dependent and our record carried no dimming value at all. On ribbed glass it is particularly good: low, the ribs become the only thing you see, which is the reason to choose textured glass over plain.

How far does it stick out from the wall?

No source records it nor the width or the height. The datasheets dimension block is completely empty. On a wall light, projection decides whether it clears a door swing or is something you brush against in a hallway, so ask us before you set out a position.

Which finish should I choose?

The glass is the same in all three, so the light is identical the choice is purely how much you want to see the fitting. Black turns the frame into a dark outline and lets the glass carry it: the most graphic. Antique gold is warm and traditional, and the metal is part of the statement. Antique silver is the quietest softer than chrome, cooler than gold, and it suits grey and taupe palettes.

Can it go in a bathroom?

No IP20, indoor and dry locations only.
