Product Information

Full details

The DCW Editions Lampe Gras No204 L40 Double Wall Light is an iconic, industrial-grade lighting solution designed for those who value authentic heritage design combined with practical functionality. Originally engineered for draftsmen and engineers in 1921, this double-arm wall lamp offers unparalleled articulation, making it ideal for bedside reading or dual-task lighting over workspace areas. While its professional aesthetic and robust steel construction make it a timeless addition to any interior, its specialized articulating arms require a firm wall mounting to ensure safety and stability.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can the two arms move simultaneously?

Each arm is completely independent and features its own set of articulation points, allowing both to be used simultaneously or individually.

Is this lamp suitable for reading?

Yes, the Lampe Gras was specifically engineered for precision tasks like drafting and reading.

Does it come with a light switch?

Depending on the specific version purchased, it may include an integrated switch, though some professional installations may prefer a wall-mounted light switch.

What is the material of the shade?

The lamp is constructed from high-quality steel, consistent with its industrial engineering heritage.

Where is the lamp manufactured?

The Lampe Gras collection is proudly made in France by DCW Editions.

Can I install this on a hollow wall?

It is highly recommended to mount the fixture to a wall stud due to its weight; ensure you use heavy-duty anchors if mounting directly to drywall.

Troubleshooting

Lamp arm does not stay in position

Gently tighten the tension screws located at the articulation joints using a screwdriver.

Lamp appears loose on the wall base

Verify that the mounting screws are firmly secured into a wall stud or appropriate drywall anchor.

Light flickering

Ensure the bulb is correctly threaded and fully seated in the socket; verify the connection to the wall power source.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally sturdy and durable construction
  • Independent arm movement allows for customized task lighting
  • Iconic, classic design suitable for various decor styles
  • High-quality craftsmanship from a French manufacturer
  • Stays firmly in place once positioned

Cons

  • Requires professional wall installation for best results
  • Heavy construction necessitates solid mounting surfaces
  • Limited to specific design aesthetics due to its industrial roots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best performance, ensure the lamp is mounted to a stud or a secure, reinforced wall section, as the weight of the steel arms requires a stable anchor. Compatibility with standard wall power is typical, but check local electrical requirements for your specific model (some include switches while others may be hardwired). To care for your lamp, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the steel surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could damage the finish. Because it is a mechanical object, occasionally check the tension screws if you notice any sagging after years of heavy use.
