A versatile design for both traditional and contemporary interiors, the Glass York wall light has been hand blown by highly skilled craftsmen, and has been designed as a compact wall light fitting. Choose between an opal glass shade which provides a soft diffused illumination, or the anthracite and clear glass shades which allow the filament exposed light bulb to be seen, creating a dramatic effect when lit. Fitted with a weathered brass arm and back plate, the Glass York wall light looks great placed over a coat rack in an entrance, or as a bedside lighting option. Available in anthracite, opal or clear glass. The York Wall Light is one of Davey Lighting's latest designs. Inspired by Davey's best selling 'spun reflector', the York is produced in hand blown glass, and designed as a compact wall light fitting. The glass shades come in either opal, anthracite and clear glass, with a weathered brass arm and back plate. The clear or anthracite glass shades allow the filament exposed light bulb to be seen, creating a dramatic effect, whilst the opal shade provides a more diffused illumination.
The Davey Lighting Glass York Wall Light is designed for homeowners seeking versatile lighting solutions that complement both traditional and modern interiors. Its key benefit lies in its hand-blown glass shade and weathered brass finish, offering a unique aesthetic. A potential caveat is the need for a filament bulb to achieve the dramatic effect with clear or anthracite shades, which may require a separate purchase.

FAQs
What type of light bulb should I use with the Glass York Wall Light?
The light uses an E27 screw-in bulb. For the clear and anthracite glass shades, we recommend using a filament-style bulb to achieve a dramatic visual effect. Always check the product's packaging for the maximum wattage allowed.
How do I clean the weathered brass finish?
For the weathered brass, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can alter or remove the intended weathered patina. For the glass, a damp cloth followed by drying is suitable.
Can this light be used outdoors?
The Glass York Wall Light is designed for indoor use. It is not rated for outdoor exposure.
Are the glass shades interchangeable?
Yes, the opal, anthracite, and clear glass shades are interchangeable, allowing you to change the lighting effect or replace a damaged shade.
Does the light come with a bulb?
The light fixture is typically sold without a bulb. You will need to purchase a compatible E27 bulb separately.
What are the dimensions of the wall light?
The specific dimensions can be found in the product's technical specification sheet or packaging. It is designed as a compact fitting.

Check that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in and functional. Verify all wiring connections are secure.

Gently tighten any retaining screws or clips that secure the glass shade to the fitting. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the glass.
