Brighten Up Your Wind Down with Holloways
Our range of luxury wall reading lights can transform any space into a cosy reading zone and shine an elegant spotlight on even the smallest of text fonts. Whether you’re searching for clip lights to clip onto your bedframe, or twin arm wall lights to stay up late reading with your partner, we’re sure to have the perfect reading light in our extensive collection.
For spaces with a classic décor style, our Ginger wall light comes as a white, cream, chrome or black-painted aluminium fixture, perfect for creating an ambience while not overpowering the room. You might also wish to explore our collection of flush wall lights for more subtle ways to illuminate your space.
If you’re searching for something a little more retro, we recommend our Biny Bedside light. Despite looking like something you'd find on a 1950s aeroplane, this reading wall light has various modern touches like an integrated LED spotlight and a convenient USB port to keep your phone charging in the background.
Inject a flair of industrial charm into your reading zone with our collection of industrial wall reading lights. Reminiscent of 19th-century factory lighting, these versatile fixtures showcase any traditional interior and can also be used as task lighting instead of desk lamps.
We also offer bedside reading lights in a variety of bright and bold colours, like our Bolt wall lamp. Enjoy soft, balanced light from several contemporary shades, including flux green, thunder blue and striking orange. Alternatively, our twin reading lights offer a modern twist on illumination with wide signature reflectors that can be rotated to provide both indirect and direct lighting.
Adjustable wall-mounted reading lights
Take full control of your illumination with our adjustable wall lights, and provide focused lighting right where you need it. Our range of bedside reading lights includes several fixtures with a swivel or flexible arm, like our long reach wall lights and our Jielde Signal adjustable wall light. Use the three ball connectors to rotate the stylish aluminium structure and adjust the direction of the light however you please.
For an energy-efficient alternative, look no further than our LED adjustable reading wall lights. The BINY spot light comes with an original ball joint that allows for 330° rotation, so you can direct your bright crisp LED light onto a specific area. Choose between a gold, nickel or matt black fixture, and complement the colour temperature of your LED bulb with the exterior of your new efficient fixture.
Floor lamps
Not all reading lights need to be mounted on the wall. Floor lamps can function as great bedside reading lights, especially fixtures with an adjustable arm or head that can be adjusted to shine directly into your reading zone.
Our floor reading lights can also be positioned next to a chair or small sofa. This makes them perfect for adding to a cosy reading nook or living room. For this purpose, we recommend fixtures with a sturdy base and large lampshade, like our GUBI Bestlite BL3 floor lamp, so that every family member can bask under the welcoming light.
Discover our full range of reading lights by browsing our lighting collection today. Whether you’re winding down in bed, or getting stuck into a new book in your favourite armchair, you’re sure to find the perfect wall mounted reading light at Holloways of Ludlow.
Don’t think a reading light is the right fit for your home? Many other lighting fixtures can be used to provide focused lighting. We recommend our range of premium table lamps for close-up tasks like working on a computer, while overhead lighting like pendant lights can be helpful for other tasks and activities.
Direct light further into your space with our collection of long reach wall lights.
Learn how to position wall lights for focused, comfortable illumination in our expert guide to designer wall lighting.
What type of light is best for reading?
A good reading light should provide clear, focused illumination without exposing your eyes to glare. Look for a directional shade or adjustable head that allows the beam to fall across the page. The lamp should be positioned close enough to prevent shadows while being used alongside softer ambient room lighting.
Where should a bedside reading light be positioned?
A bedside reading light should be positioned so that illumination falls over your shoulder and onto the book without shining directly into your eyes or across the other side of the bed. The ideal mounting height depends on the bed, mattress and fitting’s reach. Check the lamp’s dimensions before installation.
Are wall or floor reading lights better?
Wall reading lights save floor and bedside-table space and can provide precise illumination from a fixed position. Floor lamps are easier to move and do not usually require wall installation. The right choice depends on the room and furniture layout. Explore our floor reading lights for a freestanding alternative.
What colour temperature is best for reading?
Warm white light creates a relaxed atmosphere and is often preferred for reading in bedrooms and living rooms. A neutral white may feel clearer for detailed work. Brightness, positioning and glare control are equally important, so choose a reading light that directs illumination comfortably onto the page.
Do wall reading lights need to be hardwired?
Many wall reading lights are hardwired, creating a clean finish without a visible cable. Others connect to a socket and may be easier to add where rewiring is not practical. Browse our plug-in wall lights for flexible options, or ask an electrician to install a mains-wired fitting.
Are designer reading lights dimmable?
Some designer reading lights include built-in dimming, while others use a standard on-off control. Lamps with integrated LEDs may require a particular dimmer, and fittings with replaceable bulbs need a compatible dimmable bulb. Check the individual product specification before purchasing.
