JD and I rarely go to sleep at the same time, so it is important that the light be such that one person can read without overly disturbing the other's attempts to get to sleep. In turn that means that:
* the light should be fairly focused, rather than diffuse (no uplights, for example)
* the light beam should be easily redirected, in case it's reflecting off a page/tablet screen
* it should be height adjustable, to allow for sitting up or reading lying down
It should also be period-sympathetic, but need not be slavishly so.
I suspect something with an articulated arm might be the go, for example something like:
| Option 1, but with a narrower shade, perhaps |
Anyone got the faintest idea where I might find something like this?
Restoration hardware (US) has something similar, but at US$199 + shipping, it's not my first choice.
| 20th C library double sconce aged steel [link] |
| Maggie Swing Arm Wall Sconce by Norwell Lighting [link] - US$278 |
| Princeton Senior Sconce 2.25" [link] US$268 |
| Apparently this one is/was US$120 at Target [link] |
