Flume Alabaster Arc Wall Sconce

Alabaster is a natural gypsum stone with a semi-translucent mineral structure — light passes through the stone itself rather than reflecting from a coated surface. The result is a glow that is warmer, more organic, and more variable than frosted glass: the light output changes subtly with the veining of each individual piece, creating a living quality that manufactured diffusers cannot replicate. White alabaster specifically transmits light with a warm cream tone even under a neutral bulb color temperature.

This fixture uses a G9 socket rated for AC 110V mains voltage. This is not the standard 12V low-voltage G9 system — using a 12V G9 bulb will cause immediate failure. Source specifically G9 AC 110V LED capsules from a lighting specialist. For the alabaster shade, a 2–4W G9 LED at 2700K warm white works best: the warm tone enhances the stone's natural cream and produces a softer, more flattering glow. Bulbs are not included.

Yes — the Flume is well-suited to symmetrical pairing. For a headboard installation, position the wall plate of each sconce 50–65 cm from center on each side, at a height where the alabaster shade sits at approximately eye level when seated (roughly 100–120 cm from the floor). For flanking a mirror or artwork, position each sconce 30–40 cm from the frame edge. Both fixtures require hardwired connections, so plan wiring positions before installation.

The fixture itself is passive — dimming depends on the bulb and wall dimmer combination. Use a dimmable G9 AC 110V LED capsule and a compatible TRIAC wall dimmer switch (both sold separately). Confirm the dimmer is rated for LED loads. Dimming alabaster sconces to 40–60% typically produces the warmest, most atmospheric effect — the stone's translucency becomes more pronounced at lower light levels.
