Swing arm wall light design question

5 years ago

Hi,


I have a room where the night light will be 50" above the ground. The headboard is 48". What sort of swing arm night lights can I use since I have windows on both sides, I cannot install the night light next to the bed. It goes above the bed.



I found one but its expensive.

https://www.holtkoetter.com/products/lighting-machines/8193LED.aspx


Is there something else that is more reasonably priced where it can be pulled up and down since the light is above the headboard.


Thanks!

    In your case you are not looking for swing arm and that is why you are finding it hard.

    you either want a gooseneck or an adjustable sconce.. try those terms in place. also how deep is the head board you many not even need all that jazz just something that is extended? lastly how will you turn them on and off

    BTW Holtkotter is one of the best lighting brands out there, made in Germany, not china hence the price tag.
