Handcrafted in Italy
Made in Italy Wall Lights LuceArt. Over 600 wall lights made in Italy for living rooms, hallways, entrance halls, stairs, bedrooms and bathrooms: the glazed and decorated ceramics of Ferroluce, the modern and colourful shapes of Linea Zero, the decorative lighting of Bonetti Illumina, BeLight and Masiero, and the iron, brass and ceramic wall lights of the handcrafted LuceArt Classic collection. To choose well, consider where the light goes (upwards, downwards or in both directions), how far the fitting projects from the wall in narrow passages and, for the bathroom, the IP rating shown on the product page. Use the filters for style, room, materials and colour.

Made in Italy Wall Lights: how to choose a wall lamp made in Italy
The wall light is the lamp that most often works in pairs or in series: either side of a mirror, along a hallway, above a headboard, next to a painting. That is why it matters that it is well proportioned and coordinated with the other lights. On this page you will find the wall lights in the LuceArt catalogue that are made in Italy; below are the criteria for choosing.
What you will find in this category
Wall lights in glazed ceramic, white, coloured or decorated with flowers and traditional motifs; wall lights in painted metal and brass with glass diffusers; modern wall lights with geometric shapes in many colours; classic wall lights in wrought iron and ceramic with one, two or three lights; models with indirect up and down light, suitable for hallways and stairs. The most common style is modern, followed by vintage and Art Deco and by industrial; the most used materials are ceramic, metal, iron and glass. Most take replaceable E27, E14 or G9 bulbs.
Where and how to mount wall lights
In hallways and entrance halls, wall lights are usually mounted 170-190 cm from the floor, one every 2-3 metres, with a slim projection if the passage is narrow. In the living room, either side of a cabinet or sofa, at 150-170 cm. Above the headboard, about 60-70 cm above the mattress, with a switch within reach; either side of the bathroom mirror at eye level, about 150-160 cm. On stairs, follow the slope of the flight while keeping the same height above each step. Wall lights that shine upwards make the ceiling look higher, while those that shine downwards light up the floor and walkways.
Ceramic, metal, iron and glass
Glazed ceramic, a speciality of Ferroluce and of the LuceArt Classic collection, is washable, does not yellow and stands up well to steam and heat: it is also suitable for kitchens and bathrooms, if the IP rating allows. Painted metal and brass give clean lines and coordinate with handles and taps. Hand-worked wrought iron is the choice for classic and country homes. Blown or satin glass diffuses light without glare. In handcrafted production, slight differences in tone from one piece to the next are part of the product.
Made in Italy wall lights for the bathroom
In the bathroom, position is what matters: around the washbasin and near the bath and shower you need wall lights with a protection rating of at least IP44, shown on every product page; away from wet zones a standard wall light is fine. In front of the mirror, the best light comes from two side wall lights at eye level, with 3000-4000 K bulbs and good colour rendering. Ceramic and painted brass wall lights resist humidity well. You will find all bathroom wall lights, Italian and otherwise, on the dedicated page linked at the top.

Frequently asked questions: Made in Italy Wall Lights
At what height should a wall light be mounted?
In hallways and entrance halls at 170-190 cm from the floor, in the living room at 150-170 cm, above the headboard about 60-70 cm above the mattress, and either side of the bathroom mirror at eye level, 150-160 cm. In any case, it is best if the bulb is not directly visible to people walking past or sitting down.
How many wall lights do I need in a hallway?
Generally one every 2-3 metres, at the same height, starting about one metre from the doors at either end. In a narrow hallway, choose wall lights with a slim projection from the wall, under 12-15 cm, so you do not knock into them as you pass.
Are ceramic wall lights suitable for the bathroom?
Glazed ceramic stands up well to steam and humidity, but the wall light must have the right IP rating for its position: at least IP44 near the washbasin and within 60 cm of the bath and shower. The IP rating is shown on the product page; away from wet zones a standard model is fine.
Which Italian manufacturers will I find on this page?
Ferroluce, Linea Zero, Bonetti Illumina, BeLight, Masiero, Moretti Luce and our handcrafted LuceArt Classic collection. With the Brand filter you can view a single manufacturer.
Do Made in Italy wall lights have matching lamps?
Many do: several Ferroluce, Linea Zero and LuceArt Classic series include a chandelier, pendant light, ceiling light and table lamp with the same finishes. You will find the related products on the product pages; if you cannot see them, write to us and we will suggest the right combinations.
What bulbs do they take?
Mostly replaceable E27, E14 or G9 bulbs, shown on the product page together with the maximum wattage. For a living room or bedroom wall light we recommend warm-white LEDs, 2700-3000 K; in front of the bathroom mirror, 3000-4000 K with good colour rendering.
Can I have a made-to-measure LuceArt Classic wall light?
Yes: for the LuceArt Classic collection we can change the finish, number of lights and some dimensions, and coordinate the wall light with an existing chandelier or piece of furniture.
