Lisbeth Fluted Alabaster Wall Sconce A slim column of alabaster on a wall, and nothing else on it — no ornament, no visible hardware, no bulb to look at. Alabaster is translucent, so light travels through the stone rather than escaping around its edges. The whole face glows, veining and all, and there is no bright point anywhere to squint at.

The one detail is the fluting. Ribs make the stone thinner along each crest and thicker in each groove, and thin stone passes more light than thick — so the face lights in bands rather than as one flat panel. Unlit, the same ribs catch daylight and cast their own small shadows, which is why it still reads as carved stone at midday. Warm white light at 3000K, built in — no bulb to buy or replace. For a bedside, a hallway, a stair wall, or a pair either side of a mirror.

No two pieces of stone are ever the same

Alabaster is a natural stone, so every piece carries its own veining and subtle variation in color. The fixture you receive may therefore differ slightly from the images shown.

Good to Know

It is a soft light, not a bright one

Light travels through the stone rather than out of a bulb, so there is no hot spot anywhere on the face — which is the whole appeal, and also the trade. It gives ambient light rather than task light. If you read in bed regularly, plan a reading lamp alongside it.

Want it dimmable? Say so before you order

The standard fixture runs from a normal wall switch. A dimmable version is made to order, and because the LED is integrated it has to be built that way — it cannot be converted afterwards by changing a bulb or a switch. Tell us before you order and we will build it dimmable and confirm which dimmer to use.

The Stone

Want a particular veining?

Every plate is different, so the one that arrives won't match these photographs exactly. That is what real stone does.

If you want it paler and more even, or with more grey movement, or warmer in tone — tell us before you order and we'll select the stone to suit. Send a photo of your room and we'll pick something that sits with it.

What we can't do is copy a picture. We can choose a direction, not reproduce a pattern. Email support@vidirlighting.com

The design

One Detail, and It Changes the Light

Everything else was taken away.

A slim column of stone on a wall, and nothing else on it — no ornament, no visible hardware, no bulb to look at. What is left is a single decision: the face is fluted rather than flat. That one detail is the whole design, and it is there because it does something, not because it decorates.

Alabaster is translucent, so light travels through the body of the stone rather than escaping around its edges. A flat panel of it glows evenly — and evenly is another word for flat. Fluting varies the thickness across the face: thinner along each ridge, thicker in the valley between. Thin stone passes more light than thick stone. So the piece lights in bands, bright down the crests and deeper in the grooves, and a still object acquires movement.

It works the same way unlit. The same ribs catch daylight and cast their own small shadows, which is why this reads as carved stone at midday rather than as a dark panel waiting for the evening. Most wall lights have nothing to say for the sixteen hours they are switched off.

And the stone itself was decided long before anyone cut it. Set three of these side by side and the difference is obvious — grey drift through one face, warm amber through the next. The one that arrives will not be the one in these photographs. On a piece this reduced, that variation is not a flaw in the finish. It is the only ornament there is.

— Nothing added. One thing shaped. —
Questions, Answered

Before You Order

The stone, the light, and where it goes on the wall.

How do I know it's real stone and not resin?

Three checks you can do the day it arrives. Weight — stone is noticeably heavier than resin for the same size. Temperature — stone feels cool and stays cool; resin warms to your hand within seconds. Veining — real veining differs on every piece and runs through the material, so it looks different lit and unlit. Printed or moulded veining repeats and looks the same either way.

Does alabaster really glow?
Yes — that is the reason to choose it. The stone is translucent, so light travels through the material rather than only escaping at the edges. The whole face lights up, veining included. Most marble is opaque and does not do this.
Why is it fluted instead of flat?
Because it changes the light. The ribs make the stone thinner along each crest and thicker in each groove, and thin stone passes more light than thick stone. So the face glows in bands rather than as one even panel. A flat piece of alabaster gives you a nice glow; this gives you movement.
Will mine look like the photographs?
The shape will. The stone won't. Every face has its own veining — grey drift in one, warm amber in the next. That is what real stone does, and it is the reason to buy it rather than something moulded.
Is it bright enough to read by?

No, and that is worth being straight about. Light travels through the stone, so there is no hot spot anywhere on it — which is the whole appeal, and also the trade. It gives ambient light rather than task light.

Beside a bed it is perfect for the last hour of the evening. If you read in bed properly, plan a reading lamp alongside it.

How high do I mount it?

Beside a bed: centre at 48–52″ from the floor — roughly eye level sitting up.

Everywhere else: 60–66″. Flanking a mirror, mount a pair 28–40″ apart, leaving 6–8″ clear of the mirror edge. In a hallway, one every 8–10 ft, all at the same height.

One or a pair?
One is right over a stair or a single nightstand. But beside a mirror or either side of a bed, a pair does something one cannot — light from both sides means no shadow across half a face, and a hallway with two reads as planned rather than as a light someone put up. If you are hanging one, measure for two while you are there.
Will it fit a narrow hallway?
It projects [__]″ from the wall. As a rule, anything under about 4″ is comfortable in a corridor; past that people start catching a shoulder on it.
How do I clean it?

Cleaning: a dry soft cloth only. Never anything damp. Alabaster is porous — water, sprays and polish soak in and leave marks that do not come out. Twice a year is plenty.

Can it be dimmed? Can it go in a bathroom?

Dimming has to be decided before you order. The LED is built in, so a dimmable version is made that way — it cannot be converted later by changing a bulb or a switch. Tell us when you order and we will build it dimmable and confirm which dimmer to use.

Bathrooms: on a vanity wall, yes. Not in a shower or above a bath — IP20, no water protection, and stone and standing damp are a bad pair regardless.

Hand-finished in stone
The alabaster edit

The Vidir lighting edit

The only shade that glows from inside.

Most shades block light and let it out at the edges. Yet, this stone-textured lampshade manages to achieve exactly that.

01

Translucent properties

Alabaster is translucent. Switch it on and the whole shade lights up from within, veining and all, instead of glowing only where the bulb sits. There is no bright spot to look at, because the light source is the entire surface.

02

Naturally formed

The veining was decided underground, long before anyone cut it. Every shade carries its own pattern and its own faint colour shift — so the piece that arrives is not the piece in the photograph, and that is the point.

03

Durable and long-lasting

Resin and acrylic imitations go amber and brittle within a few years of sitting next to a warm bulb. Stone does not age that way. The shade you unpack is the shade you will have in twenty years.

Designed for better living

Stone Light Fixtures

Natural stone is different from metal or glass. Understanding these points before you buy ensures there won't be any surprises after installation.
01

Light Color Defines the Look

Use warm white (2700K). The stone itself has an off-white, creamy tone; cool light passing through it makes it look grayish and dingy, whereas warm light brings out that honey-like hue seen in the photos.

02

Clean Only with a Dry Cloth

Alabaster is a natural stone that absorbs water and cleaning agents, which can leave permanent stains. Disconnect the power, let the bulb cool down, and then wipe the fixture with a soft, dry cloth—do not use water or spray cleaners.

03

It is heavier than it looks.

The density of the stone is far greater than that of a glass shade of the same size; ensure the ceiling's load-bearing capacity is sufficient for safety.

Limitations of resin

Resin is cast in moulds, so the "veining" repeats from one shade to the next and the light passes through evenly with no depth to it. It also ages differently: sitting close to a warm bulb, resin tends to amber and grow brittle within a few years.
