Fabula Theydon Round Ball Up & Down Wall Lamp - White Paintable Gypsum

A Paintable Ball That Disappears Into Any Colour Scheme

Theydon is a simple round wall lamp made from white paintable gypsum, giving you a textured surface you can paint to match your wall if you prefer it to disappear into the decor rather than stand out as a feature. Light spreads both upward and downward from the ball shaped fitting, creating a soft, even wash across the wall rather than a single bright spot. The shape is compact and unassuming, so it suits both modern minimalist rooms and more traditional settings equally.

Choosing Your Finish

This piece comes in plain white paintable gypsum, giving you the option to leave it white or paint it to match your wall colour exactly. The textured gypsum surface holds paint well and allows the fitting to blend seamlessly into your decor if you choose, or to remain a subtle white accent if left as is.

How It Works

A single G9 capsule bulb holder sits inside the fitting, rated to 10W maximum, and can be dimmed using dimmable bulbs paired with a compatible dimmer. Light spreads in both directions from the ball shape, up and down the wall, creating ambient rather than task lighting. The fitting is wired to Class I electrical standards, requiring an earth connection at installation.

Where It Works Best

Perfect for dry indoor areas including hallways, living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and dining rooms where you want gentle ambient light rather than a main source of illumination. The up and down light distribution makes it excellent for bedside walls, hallways and living spaces where soft, even wash lighting suits the mood better than a downlighter or accent light.

Design Details

The round ball shape is a simple, uncluttered design that suits both industrial styled rooms and softer, more traditional settings with equal ease. Iron and gypsum combine to create a lightweight, understated fitting that can be customised to any colour scheme through paint, or left white as a neutral accent.

The up and down spread creates soft ambient lighting rather than bright task lighting, making it better for mood lighting than as a main source in a room.
