Ovita Gypsum Indoor Wall Light

The Ovita is a gypsum wall light — 90 mm high, 0.8 kg, taking a single G9 globe.

Gypsum can be painted

This is the point of the fitting. Gypsum is plaster, and it takes paint the same way your wall does. Paint it in the wall colour and it disappears into the surface, reading as a shaped recess of light rather than a fitting hung on the wall. That is an effect no metal or glass wall light can produce, and it is why architects specify plaster fittings.

Or leave it white

Unpainted, the raw white gypsum has a soft matt surface quite unlike painted metal — closer to the wall than to a light fitting even before you touch it.

Small and light

90 mm high, 0.8 kg. It sits close and quiet. Used in a run along a corridor, the effect is a rhythm of light on the wall rather than a row of objects.

One G9 globe, not supplied

9 W maximum. G9 is a small bi-pin capsule, not interchangeable with any screw base. ⚠ Our two sources disagree on whether the light source is replaceable — we tell you to buy a globe, because arriving with one you did not need is better than arriving without one you did.

It needs an earth

Class I — hard-wired, earth required. And plaster is brittle: it should be handled carefully during installation and fixed into something solid.

Where it works

• Corridors and hallways, in a run.
• Stairwells, painted to match the wall.
• Bedrooms, as soft indirect light.
• Architectural interiors where the fitting should not be seen.

Specifying it

90 mm high, 0.8 kg, in gypsum. One G9 globe to 9 W, not supplied. 240 V, Class I — earth required, IP20 — indoor and dry locations only. Warranty is three years.

Supplied and supported by Lights For You. Ask us before ordering if you need the light source confirmed — our sources describe it differently and we would rather check than have you buy the wrong globe.
