    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes a Louis Poulsen wall light special?

    A Louis Poulsen wall light is built around shaped or layered shades that sit over the bulb, so the light is directed and the glare hidden, a look as much as a fitting; the fuller range is under Louis Poulsen lighting. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep Louis Poulsen wall lights.

    Which Louis Poulsen wall light fits a reading corner?

    For a reading corner, choose a Louis Poulsen wall light that throws light down over the chair, freeing the side table and keeping the bulb out of the eye-line; a Louis Poulsen lamp does the same job free-standing. Fix it at about shoulder height beside the seat.

    How does a Louis Poulsen wall light shape light in a room?

    A Louis Poulsen wall light shapes a room by sending light where the shades aim it, down a wall, onto a task or softly outward, rather than filling the room evenly, much as other vintage lighting does. Use it to layer light beside a main fitting rather than replace it.

    What care does a Louis Poulsen wall light need?

    A Louis Poulsen wall light needs little care: dust the shades, wipe them with a soft dry cloth and check the fixing and wiring over time, leaving any rewiring to an electrician; the finer tier sits under luxury sconces.
