Wireless Crystal Wall Lamp

Every room has one wall that is too dark and no outlet anywhere near it. The usual fix is an electrician, a hole in the plaster and a conversation with your landlord.

This one charges by USB and goes up in about a minute.

What makes it worth it

• No wiring, no drilling, no electrician. Which means renters can finally light a wall properly.
• Rechargeable. Plug it in, take it down to charge, put it back. No cable running down the wall.
• Full RGB color. Warm amber for the evening, a single accent color behind the TV, or soft white when you need to see.
• Faceted crystal diffuser. It throws pattern on the wall instead of a flat blob of light — that is the difference between a lamp and a lighting feature.
• Comes as a pair. Two lights, symmetrical, either side of a bed or a hallway. One alone always looks like something is missing.

The details

Mounts to a flat, clean, dry wall. On textured plaster, brick or wallpaper that is already peeling, use a screw fixing instead of the adhesive.

Where people put them

Either side of the bed instead of nightstand lamps, which frees up the table. Along a dark hallway with no ceiling fixture. Behind a TV for bias lighting. Above a bathroom mirror in a rental where you cannot touch the wiring. In a home office on a video-call wall, where a little warm colour reads far better than the ceiling light.
