Product Information

Full details

The Louis Poulsen AJ Wall Light in Grey is designed for those seeking iconic, functional lighting. Its key benefit is the precisely directed light that minimizes glare while illuminating spaces effectively, making it ideal for reading or task lighting. A potential consideration is that while it comes with a plug, it can be hardwired for a cleaner installation, which requires professional assistance. This fixture is a celebrated piece of mid-century modern design, featuring an adjustable shade to direct light precisely where needed, a white interior for balanced illumination, and construction from stainless steel and molded zinc.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet. Verify that the light switch is in the 'on' position. If hardwired, ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped and consult an electrician if necessary.

Shade is loose or difficult to adjust

Gently try to tighten any visible screws at the joint of the shade and arm, but do not overtighten. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Flickering light

Check the bulb for proper seating. If using an LED or compatible bulb, ensure it is rated for the fixture and fully screwed in. If the problem continues, the bulb may need replacement or there may be an issue with the wiring.
