How to place bedside wall lights

Height. Centre the backplate about 1.2 to 1.5 m from the floor, so the shade sits just above your head when you sit up in bed. For a downward shade, the bottom of the shade usually sits 400 to 500 mm above the mattress.

Position. Fit one light either side of the bed, centred over each bedside table.

Reading. A swing-arm sconce lets you pull the light in to read and push it back to sleep. Beside a reading chair, mount it to the side, about 300 to 400 mm above the top of the chair back.

Switching. Ask your electrician about a switch you can reach from the bed.
