Flos Wall Lights

Flos has been at the centre of Italian lighting design since 1962 – the house behind the Arco, the IC, the 265, the Glo-Ball and many of the pieces that define what serious wall lighting can be. The collection at Heal's covers minimalist Cestello and Faretti designs alongside more sculptural pieces from Konstantin Grcic and Michael Anastassiades.

The design pedigree, first – every Flos piece is drawn by a named designer with substantial industry credentials, and the company invests heavily in lighting engineering rather than just form. The Foglio (Tobia Scarpa, 1966) and the IC W (Michael Anastassiades) are the kind of pieces that stay in production for decades.

Selected designs carry the appropriate IP rating for bathroom use – check each product page for the specific zone classification. The Flos bathroom range is comparatively narrow because the brand prioritises design integrity over IP-coverage, but the pieces that do qualify are typically the strongest pieces in the bathroom-lighting market.

Most Flos wall lights are designed for ambient rather than task output, and the integrated LED versions are dimmable. For a bedroom application, dim to 30-40% for evening reading and 10-15% for ambient; the warm-white colour temperature suits late-evening use without disrupting sleep.

Modern Flos pieces use integrated LED light engines tuned for warm output and 50,000+ hours of life. Energy costs are substantially lower than equivalent halogen fittings, and the LEDs are typically built into the lamp rather than user-replaceable, which simplifies the design but means the whole fitting reaches end-of-life together.
