Matrix 8 LED Wall Sconce

The Matrix 8 LED Wall Sconce is the 58 cm model in the Matrix series: its 12 cm wide metal body carries bubble-effect acrylic rods. Switched on, the bubbles in the rods sparkle; switched off, the polished metal details read as a decorative object on the wall. It is hardwired, with a gold or silver body and warm or white light.

Highlights

• Bubble-effect rods: the acrylic rods take on a lively look with the light.
• 48 LEDs: in a 3 × 16 layout, according to the product data.
• Polished metal body: gold or silver, reflecting light around it.
• 58 cm tall: a focal point on its own in a high-ceilinged living room or wide hallway.

Where to use it

• High-ceilinged living room: alone on a wide wall or as a pair either side of a sofa.
• Wide hallway: frames the entrance either side of a mirror or console.
• Bedroom: either side of a wide headboard wall under a high ceiling.
• Restaurant and café: a rhythmic line of light on the wall facing the tables.
• Office and showroom: adds polished metal detail to the welcome wall.

When to choose Matrix 8

Both share a 12 cm width, 48 LEDs and the same colour options; the clear difference is 5 cm in height. For the taller model, see Matrix Melodi.

Gold or silver?

• Gold and warm light: wood panelling, beige textiles and brass.
• Gold and white light: brings out the metal on a navy or green wall.
• Silver and white light: modern with white lacquer and a grey sofa.
• Silver and warm light: warms a cool-toned room in the evening.

Matrix has no black or anthracite body; for those, see Aura Large 56 cm. To echo the same metals with a glass globe, the Sera Glass Globe Wall Sconce also comes in gold and silver.

How to install

1. Locate the wiring: Matrix 8 connects to the wall wiring; the centre usually sits 150–170 cm from the floor.
2. Switch off the breaker: turn off the circuit first; have a qualified electrician make the connection.
3. Check the wall: scan for cables and pipes before drilling.
4. Connect and level: your electrician connects and fixes the sconce; check it is plumb with a spirit level.
5. Care: wipe the rods and metal with a soft, dry cloth.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Matrix 8 LED Wall Sconce run on batteries?

Matrix 8 has no battery version; it is hardwired to the wall wiring, so work with a qualified electrician. For a wall without wiring, the battery models of the Aura or Bubbleflux series are a better start.

Which wall suits the Matrix 8?

At 58 × 12 cm, it suits living rooms with ceilings of 270 cm or more, wide hallways and large empty walls. In a small, low room it can feel heavy; the 39 cm Aura Medium is more balanced.

Does the Matrix 8 have a remote?

No, Matrix 8 has no remote; you choose warm or white light when ordering. For a sconce with remote control or RGB light, see the hardwired remote options of the Bubbleflux family.

Should I choose warm or white light for the Matrix 8?

Warm light creates a cosy evening mood in living rooms and bedrooms, with a soft glow in the bubbles. White light looks crisper and fresher in hallways, offices and showrooms. Both tones suit gold and silver bodies.

See the height of Matrix 8 on a photo of your room with See it in your room, then mark the exact spot with a tape measure. For symmetry beside a sofa, add a second sconce in the same body and light colour. For centre height and spacing, see our sconce placement guide.
