Set up your Wicked Acrylic Lamp as a desk light or wall light. Follow these steps to choose a spot, mount it safely, and get the best glow in any room.

Quick answer

Use the Wicked Acrylic Lamp as a desk lamp on a stable surface, or mount it on a wall with the included hardware if you prefer a floating look. Place it near a power outlet and away from heat or moisture for the best glow.

Desk or wall? Choose based on your room

The Wicked Acrylic Lamp works two ways: as a freestanding desk lamp or as a wall light. Pick desk mode if you want to move it around or if you rent and can't drill holes. Choose wall mode if you want to free up surface space or create a focal point above a shelf or bed.

Wall mounting gives a dramatic, floating effect, but it's permanent. Desk placement is flexible but takes up room. Consider how often you rearrange your space before committing to screws.

Placement tips for a Wicked-inspired bedroom

In a bedroom, the lamp works well on a nightstand or mounted above a headboard. Keep it at least a few inches from curtains or bedding to avoid blocking the light and to reduce fire risk. If you're using it as a nightlight, aim it toward a wall for a softer, indirect glow.

Avoid placing it in a spot where it will be knocked over easily, like a narrow shelf or a high-traffic dresser. The acrylic shade is sturdy but not indestructible.

What to check before you mount

The lamp is designed for indoor use. Before wall mounting, confirm you have the right hardware for your wall type—drywall anchors for hollow walls, screws into studs for solid walls. If you're unsure, use a desk placement instead.

Also check that the power cord reaches an outlet without stretching. If it doesn't, choose a different spot or use a desk setup near an outlet.

Step-by-step setup and placement

Unbox and inspect: Remove the lamp and any protective film from the acrylic. Check for cracks or missing parts before discarding packaging. Common mistake: plugging it in before removing film, which can cause overheating. Keep the packaging until you're sure the lamp works.
Choose desk or wall mode: Decide whether you'll use it freestanding or mounted. For desk mode, skip to step 4. For wall mode, continue to step 3. Wall mounting is permanent; desk mode is flexible.
Mount on the wall: Hold the lamp in your intended spot and mark the screw holes with a pencil. Use a level to ensure it's straight. Drill pilot holes and insert anchors if needed. Screw the mounting bracket or lamp base securely. Common mistake: overtightening screws and cracking the acrylic. Use wall anchors appropriate for your wall type.
Position on a desk or nightstand: Place the lamp on a flat, stable surface. Route the cord so it won't be pulled or tripped over. Keep the lamp at least 6 inches from other objects. Common mistake: placing it near a heat source or in direct sunlight, which can damage the acrylic over time. Leave space around the lamp for airflow.
Plug in and test: Plug the lamp into a nearby outlet. Turn it on and check that the light works and the cord isn't strained. If using a wall outlet, avoid overloading the circuit with other high-wattage devices. If the plug doesn't reach, relocate the lamp rather than using an extension cord.
Adjust the glow: Angle the lamp so the light falls where you want it—toward a wall for ambient light, or toward your desk for task lighting. If the lamp is too bright for a bedroom, use a lower-wattage bulb if the lamp allows (check the bulb type). Check the lamp's bulb specification before swapping bulbs.
