The Skyla is a 310mm wall bracket with touch control and anopal glass shade in antique gold, black or white, brushed.

Touch control on a hard-wired wall light

Uncommon, and the reason to choose it. Most wall brackets are switched at the wall the Skylalets you touch the fitting itself. Beside a bed that removes the fumble for a switch inthe dark, and in a guest room it removes the question entirely.

Touch is on and off, not dimming. The Skyla isnot dimmable. Worth being clear, because touch control on a bedside fitting leadspeople to expect a fade.

We cannot confirm whether a globe is included. The old pagesaid both its prose promised an E14 non-dimmable globe while its ownspecification said Globe / Light Source included: No.Ask us and we will confirm before you order; if not, it takes oneE14 at 5W.

Opal glass, so it is comfortable at head height

Opal diffuses fully no visible globe, no hot spot, no glare at eye level.That matters on a wall bracket more than almost anywhere else, because you pass close to it and oftenlook straight at it from a pillow.

Brushed, not polished

All three finishes are brushed rather than polished, so theyhold a soft sheen instead of a reflection. Against a wall, brushed metal reads aswarmer and less hard than a mirror finish and it does not show fingerprints, which on a fittingyou touch to switch on is a genuinely practical point.
