A glossy glass sphere sits on a tapering satin-nickel support, so on the wall it reads like a word written in glass, and it spreads a soft, diffused glow that you can dim with the dimmer supplied. Choose milky White for calm, even light or Amber for a warm, honeyed atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parola wall light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e FontanaArte, Milan, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e F268945150BIN1 (White), F268945150AMN1 (Amber)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Decorative glass wall sconce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, dining rooms, hotel lounges and corridors, restaurants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.8 in (30 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection from wall:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 in (23 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x E12 bulb, 46W maximum, 110V (bulb not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight\/dimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e diffused; dimmer included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e wall-mounted; have a licensed electrician connect it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20, dry indoor locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e glossy blown glass paste diffuser (white or amber); satined nickel-plated metal wall support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e White, Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e ETL (Intertek) pending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gae Aulenti and Piero Castiglioni (1980)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern, Transitional, Contemporary, Retro\/Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/etl-intertek-pending-certification-mark.png\" alt=\"ETL Intertek pending certification mark: ETL listing for the US and Canadian markets is in progress\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\"\u003e ETL (Intertek) listing for this light is in progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight quality and how it performs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParola gives diffused light through its glossy blown glass globe, so you see a softly luminous sphere rather than a bulb, and the light spreads gently around it and up the wall. The White glass gives a clean, milky glow that suits reading corners and bedrooms; the Amber glass tints the light a warm honey colour, beautiful in the evening and in restaurants or bars. The supplied dimmer lets you set it from a useful reading level down to a low ambient glow. It takes a small E12 (candelabra) bulb up to 46W; a warm-white dimmable LED keeps the glass cool and the colour rich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParola is 11.8 in (30 cm) tall and projects 9 in (23 cm) from the wall.
