The globe sits at the top between two shallow brass discs and lights the room gently. The reading light hangs below, on a pivot, and gives a focused beam for a book or a bedside table. At 578mm tall it is sized for the wall beside a bed or a reading chair, where the Large version of the same design might feel too imposing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose Your Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour hand applied Schwung finishes are available on the Babylon Libris Medium:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic Bronze, a dark bronze with soft mottling, as photographed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage Brass, a warm, unevenly aged brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany, a deep red brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarnished Silver, a soft, smoky silver tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the finishes are applied by hand, every piece is slightly different, and the tone on a screen will never quite match the metal in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTwo Lamps, Two Jobs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 4W E14 LED G45 globe bulb provides the ambient light at the top, shielded from the side by the double disc shade so you see a glowing sphere rather than glare. A 3W G9 LED in the 20mm reading cylinder gives the task light below; the cylinder tilts through up to 90 degrees and turns through up to 135 degrees. Both bulbs are supplied and both are replaceable. Combined output is around 440 lumens at a warm 2200K to 3000K.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFixing and Dimming\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sconce fixes through a 125mm round backplate, 15mm deep, with a brass ball at its centre where the rod passes through. It projects around 189mm from the wall. Dimming is possible with electronic dimmers only, ELV or trailing edge; leading edge dimmers are not suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend that this fitting is installed by a qualified electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is first and foremost a bedside light. A pair, one each side of the headboard, replaces table lamps and frees up the bedside surface, with the reading beams aimed inwards. It also works beside a sofa or armchair in a snug, or on a landing wall where a soft glow is wanted overnight. Schwung photographs it against oak panelling, limed timber and pale plaster, and the dark finishes hold their own against all three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade By Schwung\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchwung, founded by former antiques dealer Rudi Nijssen and former goldsmith Dominique Sente, designs its lighting in house and makes it in solid brass in its own workshop in Poland. The Babylon collection reduces each light to rods, discs and spheres, which means the precision of the joints and the evenness of the hand applied patina are what you notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood To Know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 578mm high overall, around 189mm projection from the wall, 125mm diameter backplate 15mm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.4kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight source: 1 x 4W E14 LED G45 globe bulb and 1 x 3W G9 LED bulb, both included and replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight output: approximately 440 lumens combined, 2200K to 3000K warm white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReading light tilts up to 90 degrees and rotates up to 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimmable with electronic dimmers only (ELV, trailing edge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP20, for indoor use only, not suitable for bathroom electrical zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinishes are hand applied and vary in tone from piece to piece; screens also render colour differently, so please call us if you are unsure before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order, with a manufacturer lead time of approximately 5 weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eMade to order and not returnable unless faulty or damaged\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe recommend all lighting is installed by a qualified electrician\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions People Ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow high should the Babylon Libris Medium be mounted beside a bed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fitting is 578mm tall with the backplate roughly in the middle, so with the backplate at around shoulder height for someone sitting up in bed, the reading light falls at book height and the globe sits above eye level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the reading light move?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
