A 1-light reading light from WAC Lighting's Ames collection, finished in brushed nickel with a cast glass diffuser, designed for bedside or desk-side task lighting.
The Ames reading light glows from within, with light rippling through its textured cast glass shade to create a gentle radiance that feels sculptural and serene. Refined brushed nickel metal details add contrast and balance, expressing timeless modern craftsmanship. An integrated USB/USB-C port on the backplate provides convenient device charging, while the fingertip touch sensor offers on/off and dimming control.

Not ideal for
- Large rooms as a primary overhead light — 143 delivered lumens is suitable for task or accent lighting only
- Wet locations like open showers or uncovered outdoor areas — rated for damp locations only
- Spaces where a wide beam spread is needed — the flood beam is focused for reading
