The ball houses the G9 bulb; the disc is the structural mounting element. When lit, warm light passes through the translucent alabaster ball, revealing crystalline veining inside, and spills onto the disc behind it for a soft halo effect on the wall. Overall diameter 7.9 inches (20 cm); estimated depth from wall approximately 3 to 4 inches (ball plus disc combined). Material: natural alabaster (gypsum-based stone), carved by hand, each piece naturally unique in veining and tone. Internal G9 bi-pin socket and mounting hardware, concealed wiring. Lit by 1 × G9 LED bulb (included); LED-only operation — maximum 3 to 5W LED, no G9 halogen replacements as halogen runs too hot for alabaster. Replacement G9 LED bulbs are widely available on Amazon and at lighting retailers. Hardwired install to a standard junction box; requires stud or solid anchor due to stone weight; licensed electrician recommended. Indoor dry locations only.

You can tell from the visible cream-and-warm-grey veining on the disc even when unlit, and the internal crystalline patterns that appear in the ball when the bulb is on.

The ball that the bulb sits inside is too small for an E26 bulb, which is why G9 is used. G9 LED replacements are easy to find on Amazon, Home Depot online, Lowes, and lighting specialty stores; search G9 LED warm white 2700K.

Natural alabaster forms over millions of years; the veining and translucence of the disc and ball both vary based on the section of stone each piece is carved from. Some pieces have dramatic visible patterns, others read more uniformly cream. The listing photo is representative, not a guaranteed match.

Alabaster weighs more than glass at the same size — mount to a wall stud, blocked location, or use a solid wall anchor rated for the fixture weight. Don't mount to drywall alone. Have a licensed electrician handle the wiring and confirm the mounting structure before install.

A vanity flank in a bathroom with good ventilation may also work for many installs, but the fixture is not damp-rated by default. Avoid bathrooms with steady shower steam, damp basements, kitchens directly over a sink with heavy steam, and covered outdoor patios.
