Elstead Kami Wall Uplighter

Decorative wall lighting is often where projects go slightly wrong — not through bad taste, but through a mismatch between the atmosphere you're imagining and what a fitting actually delivers. With handcrafted art glass pieces like this, the key question is whether the light quality and direction serve the space, not just the wall it's mounted on.

Wall uplighters work by projecting light upward through an open top, washing the ceiling and upper wall with ambient illumination — warmth without harshness, atmosphere without glare. When the shade is made from leaded stained glass, the light that passes through the coloured panels adds a secondary effect: a rich, diffused glow that radiates through the glass itself, not just above it.

The Elstead Kami Wall Uplighter is a two-light, wall-mounted uplighter built in the tradition of Tiffany-style stained glass craftsmanship. The semi-circular, bowl-shaped shade sits flat against the wall and features hand-assembled glass segments in warm amber, cream, yellow, deep red, and burnt orange, with forest green accents — all arranged in an intricate five-petalled floral pattern with a structured geometric border at the base. The metalwork is finished in vintage bronze, complementing the warm glass palette and lending the piece an antique, artisan character.

This is a single-finish, single-configuration fitting — the design speaks for itself without the need for variants. It suits interiors where warmth and handcrafted detail are intentional choices: hallways, sitting rooms, bedrooms, or any space where ambient lighting should feel considered rather than functional.

As a decorative wall fitting in the Elstead range, the Kami is designed for standard interior installation on a flat vertical surface. Lamp compatibility and driver requirements should be confirmed at point of specification — the two-light configuration means lamp choice will influence the overall output and warmth of the effect. Elstead products typically carry a warranty of up to 20 years depending on model, which reflects the brand's confidence in build quality.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we treat decorative specification the same way we treat technical specification — with rigour. The Kami is part of a curated selection of design-led pieces chosen because they deliver on their promise. We're here to help you match the right fitting to the right space, confirm lamp compatibility, and make sure the product arrives when your project needs it.
