WAC Lighting Ames 1-Light Reading Light | Modern Black Aluminum and Cast Glass Diffuser | Bedroom & Study Accent | 143 Lumens | Model BL123607-BK

A 1-light LED reading light from WAC Lighting's Ames collection, finished in Black with a cast glass diffuser — ideal for bedside reading or study nooks where focused, adjustable light is needed.

The Ames reading light combines a sleek aluminum body with a textured cast glass diffuser that softens the LED output into a gentle, sculptural glow. A built-in USB/USB-C charging port on the backplate adds everyday convenience, while the fingertip touch sensor on the backplate controls on/off and dimming. The AC LED technology eliminates the need for a separate driver, and the fixture is rated for damp locations, making it suitable for covered outdoor areas as well.

Best for

• Bedrooms — mounted beside the bed as a reading light with touch dimming for late-night use
• Home offices and study nooks — focused task light with adjustable color temperature from warm to cool white
• Covered patios or porches — damp-rated construction allows use in covered outdoor areas
• Small spaces — compact 8.13" height and 2.75" width fits tight wall areas
• ADA-compliant installations — meets ADA requirements for accessible design

Not ideal for

• Large rooms as a primary light source — 143 lumens is accent-level brightness
• Uncovered outdoor areas — damp-rated, not wet-rated
• Spaces requiring a traditional switch — this fixture uses a touch sensor on the backplate

How bright is it?

143 delivered lumens — comparable to a 15W incandescent bulb, suitable for close-up reading or accent lighting. Not bright enough to serve as a room's main overhead light, but perfect for targeted task illumination.
