This low-voltage wall- or ceiling-mounted light is a cast glass half sphere with a frosted cylindrical void that houses either a 10-watt xenon or 1-watt LED lamp. Individual lights are visually quite subtle, but gain an atmospheric quality when multiplied and clustered in groups. 14 can be hung on a wall or ceiling which allows for a variety of compositional possibilities, ranging from ambient to punctuated dense clusters in specific high profile locations.
The 's' or 'sp' designation in this variation on the 14 refers to it being surface-mounted. The 'sp' comes with a mounting plate large enough to cover a standard North American junction box. This surface light has a paintable 115mm (4.5") diameter mounting plate designed to be mounted on walls as well as ceilings. The 's' designation of this surface light has a discrete 55mm (2.2") in diameter mounting plate designed to be mounted on walls as well as ceilings, with transformers mounted remotely. Both lights are also IP65, meaning they can be used outdoors and in other wet environments.

In 2005, Bocci was founded in a red barn surrounded by hay fields, on the periphery of Vancouver, Canada. The company launched with one product, 14, which became an instant classic and remains a design staple and bestseller. Today, Bocci has a growing portfolio of contemporary design ranging from light installations through to furniture and electrical sockets. All Bocci designs are developed, engineered, and fabricated in-house through an infrastructure calibrated to provide full control over technique, quality, and scale.

Join the Trade Professionals ProgramWe love the Bocci 14s surface mount light and use it often in our projects. It's the perfect accent light for a hallway (where we generally would mount a few of them) or a powder room. It provides a nice, diffused soft glow through the heavy, molten-feeling glass. While it lends modern in nature, it blends beautifully in an historic design that utilizes contemporary elements. It's a diminutive size which works great in small spaces, and the fact that it's all glass (rather than having a painted frame of some kind) allows it to work with any other finishes in the house. It's a winner!
