A 17-inch tall, two-light outdoor wall sconce with a contemporary brushed bronze steel frame and soft white opal glass, ideal for entryways, covered patios, and other wet-rated outdoor areas.
The Sail sconce pairs a sleek, vertical steel faceplate with handcrafted opal glass that diffuses light into a tranquil, even glow. The brushed bronze finish adds warmth and sophistication, while the glass's satin-etched surface gives it a soft, classic appeal. Designed for wet locations, it brings dependable illumination to covered outdoor spaces.
Best for
- Entryways and front doors, mounted vertically beside the door for a welcoming glow
- Covered patios, porches, and verandas where wet-rated fixtures are required
- Hallways and corridors indoors, as an accent light with a contemporary feel
- Garages and utility rooms needing bright, reliable task lighting
- Modern and transitional homes seeking a warm, elegant outdoor light
Not ideal for
- Small powder rooms or tight spaces where a 17-inch height may feel imposing
- Areas requiring a single, wide light spread—this sconce directs light up and down
- Homes with a cool-toned, silver-heavy decor that clashes with the bronze finish
How bright is it?
With two 40-watt bulbs (not included), this sconce delivers approximately 800 lumens—comparable to a single 60-watt incandescent bulb. It provides ample accent lighting for entryways and covered patios, but it is not intended to serve as a primary light source for large areas.
Light color and feel
The opal glass diffuses light to create a soft, warm glow that flatters any exterior. The color temperature depends on the bulbs you choose; for a warm, inviting feel, opt for 2700K-3000K bulbs. The fixture is dimmable when used with compatible dimmable bulbs and a standard dimmer switch.
Sizing and fit
This sconce measures 4 inches deep, 6.25 inches wide, and 17.5 inches high, with a canopy of 4.75 inches square. It mounts vertically and projects just 4 inches from the wall, making it suitable for hallways and entryways with limited depth. The height of the center is 8.75 inches, ideal for mounting at eye level.
