Overview

PERLA is a wall light designed specifically for the bathroom. Its round shape and the outer glass diffuser that resembles a bubble make it instantly recognizable. This wall light is ideal for illuminating the bathroom mirror, where light needs to be even and free of harsh shadows.

The lamp was designed by Alex&Manel Lluscà, a duo of designers with an established track record in the world of product design. The result is a piece that combines a clean form with quality materials: a steel body in an antique gold finish and an opal glass diffuser.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Their products are found in homes across Europe and combine design criteria with careful manufacturing. PERLA is a good example of that approach: a lamp conceived for a specific space, with a shape that makes sense and a finish that lasts.

Installation and specifications

For installation, this wall light is fixed directly to the wall. Before starting, check that the surface is solid and that the light point is where you need it. As this is a bathroom luminaire, installation must be carried out by a certified electrician, especially if the wall light is placed near the shower or bathtub. Please note that the G9 LED bulb is not included, so purchase it before installing the lamp.

To clean the steel body, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. The glass diffuser can be cleaned with a dry cloth or with products specifically designed for glass, avoiding abrasive liquids. Do not touch the bulb directly with your hands when it is hot. Always disconnect the power before any intervention on the lamp.

Design and use

The PERLA wall light has a discreet yet defined presence. Its steel body in an antique gold tone adds warmth without feeling overdone. It is a finish that works well alongside golden fittings, metallic mirror frames or bathroom accessories in warm tones. It does not need a very specific environment to fit in: both in a modern bathroom and in one with more classic elements, this wall light finds its place without forcing the overall look.

The opal glass diffuser is the central element of the design. That spherical shape, almost like a bubble suspended on the wall, makes the lamp recognizable and at the same time subtle. The opal glass diffuses the light from the bulb and distributes it softly around the mirror. This is important in the bathroom, where overly direct light casts shadows that make everyday tasks such as applying makeup or shaving more difficult.

Although it is designed for bathrooms, this lamp can work well in other spaces where a localized light point with a touch of design is desired. In a hallway, a wall light of this type provides light at the right height without taking up space. It can also be used in the bedroom as a side reading light, or in a dressing area within a room. Its compact size, with a diameter of 115 mm and a depth of 155 mm, allows it to be installed even on walls with little clearance.

In spaces such as the dining room or living room, a wall light of these characteristics can function as complementary decorative lighting. It is not designed to illuminate an entire room, but rather to create a warm light point next to a painting, a mirror or a console table. In a kitchen, it can be placed above a worktop or work area where direct light is needed without installing a ceiling luminaire.

The reduced weight of the wall light, less than half a kilo, makes installation easy on almost any type of wall. It does not require special anchors or additional supports. Compatibility with voltages between 100V and 240V makes it suitable for use in different countries, which is useful if purchased for a property abroad or a rental property.

The design by Alex&Manel Lluscà is intended to make the lamp work as an object in its own right, not just as a support for a bulb. The decision to give the diffuser a spherical and transparent shape turns PERLA into a piece with personality, without the need for ornaments or additional elements. It is modern without being cold, and has enough character to stand out without dominating the space.

In narrow hallways or transit areas, this type of wall light is a practical solution. It takes up little space, provides just the right amount of light and does not interfere with foot traffic. In small bathrooms, where there is no room for a bulky ceiling lamp, placing one or two wall lights on either side of the mirror is the most common and most effective solution.

Questions and answers

Does the PERLA wall light include the G9 LED bulb in the box?

No, the bulb is not included. You need to purchase separately a G9 LED bulb compatible with a maximum power of 6 W.

Is the opal glass diffuser resistant to bathroom humidity?

The diffuser is made of glass, a material that does not deteriorate due to ambient humidity. To ensure a safe installation in the bathroom, consult the electrical protection zones and have the installation carried out by a professional.

Can the wall light be installed on a tiled wall?

Yes, as long as the appropriate plugs and screws for that type of surface are used. The weight of the wall light is 0.49 kg, so it does not require a special anchor, but it is advisable to have the fixing carried out by an installer experienced with tiled walls.
