Swan-Neck Wall Light — handmade character, rotary socket switch, E27 bulb freedom
The rotary switch is integrated directly into the E27 socket — you turn the bulb area to switch the light on and off, independently of your wall switch. This is a practical feature for bedside or reading use where you want individual control without getting up. The E27 socket accepts bulbs up to 40 W maximum — do not exceed this rating. For a warm, vintage-appropriate feel, a filament LED at 2700 K suits the swan-neck aesthetic well; the exposed bulb will be visible, so a decorative filament or globe bulb enhances the look. The bulb is not included and must be purchased separately. The handmade assembly means minor variation in finish and form between units is expected and part of the character — this is not a defect. The swan-neck arm directs light downward and forward, making it well suited to reading, task lighting, or accent use rather than broad room illumination. This is a hardwired fitting — installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.
Mount this light beside a bed, above a reading chair, in a hallway, or in a study for a focused vintage glow. The Black finish suits industrial, loft, and dark-toned interiors; the White finish works in Scandi, coastal, and light-toned spaces. Install two symmetrically on either side of a headboard or mirror for a balanced, period-style scheme. The swan-neck silhouette reads as a design object even when unlit — it adds character to plain walls without requiring artwork or decoration.

Common questions
Is a bulb included?
+
No — the bulb is not included. The fitting uses an E27 socket with a maximum rating of 40 W. The bulb will be visible in the open socket, so a decorative filament or globe LED at 2700 K gives the best vintage result. Do not exceed the 40 W maximum.
How does the rotary switch work?
+
The rotary switch is built into the E27 socket itself — you turn a small knob near the bulb fitting to switch the light on and off. This allows you to control the light independently of your wall switch, which is useful for bedside or reading use. The wall switch must be in the “on” position for the socket switch to work.
Is it handmade — will my unit look exactly like the photos?
+
The light is handmade and hand-finished, which means minor variation in finish, texture, or form between units is expected and part of its artisanal character. It will closely match the product images, but small differences are not defects — they are inherent to handmade production.
Does it need to be hardwired or does it plug in?
+
This is a hardwired wall fitting — it connects directly to your wall wiring and does not plug into a socket. Installation by a qualified electrician is recommended. All mounting hardware is included in the box.
Which colour should I choose — Black or White?
+
Black suits industrial, loft, dark-toned, and heritage interiors — it creates a strong contrast against light walls and pairs well with exposed brick or dark wood. White suits Scandi, coastal, and light-toned spaces — it blends more softly with pale walls and creates a cleaner, more understated look. Both finishes work with a warm filament LED at 2700 K.
