Hudson Valley Taunton 1 Light Wall Sconce Light - Polished Nickel

A tailored square shade with a precise, architectural feel

Taunton is a single arm wall light from Hudson Valley Lighting built around a crisp, square shaped linen shade, its stepped detailing and clean right angles giving the fitting a tailored, almost geometric quality. It's a straightforward silhouette made distinctive by the quality of its finish and the texture of its shade.

Polished nickel finish with a linen shade

The frame and backplate are finished in polished nickel, a bright, reflective metal tone that reads well against cool greys, whites and contemporary schemes. The shade itself is linen fabric stretched over a steel frame, softening and diffusing the light rather than letting it read as a bare point source.

How it works

Taunton takes a single E14 bulb rated up to 60W (not supplied), positioned inside the linen shade for an even, gentle glow. It measures around 43.8cm in height and 11.4cm in width, projecting about 12.7cm from the wall, and weighs 1.4kg. As a mains wired fitting, installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Where it works best

It suits living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways where a soft accent light is wanted rather than a primary source, for example either side of a mirror or headboard, or spaced along a hallway wall. The polished nickel finish and linen shade sit comfortably in contemporary and transitional interiors built around cooler metal tones.

Questions People Ask

Does the Taunton wall light come with a bulb?
No, it does not. Taunton takes 1 x E14 bulb rated up to 60W, and you will need to add your own bulb when it is installed.

Is this wall light suitable for a bathroom?
It is rated IP20, which means it is intended for dry to occasionally damp indoor spaces such as bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms and hallways, rather than bathrooms or other areas with direct exposure to water or steam.

Do I need an electrician to install it?
Yes. Taunton is a mains wired fitting rather than a plug in lamp, so it should be fitted by a qualified electrician, and we recommend using one registered with NICEIC.

Can I return the Taunton wall light if I change my mind?
This is a made to order piece from Hudson Valley Lighting, so once an order has been placed it is not eligible for return, which is why it is worth checking the finish, dimensions and bulb requirements carefully beforehand.

What is the shade made from and how does it affect the light?
The shade is linen fabric stretched over a steel frame, and this softens and diffuses the light from the E14 bulb inside rather than showing it as a bare, exposed source.
