Best for
- Bathrooms with a 36-60 inch vanity, mounted as side lighting beside the mirror
- Hallways and corridors needing a warm accent light every 6-8 feet
- Covered patios or entryways rated for damp locations
- Bedrooms as reading sconces on either side of the bed
Not ideal for
- Spaces under 8 ft ceilings if you need the sconce at eye level with a 16-inch extension
- Direct outdoor exposure without overhead cover (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
How bright is it?

Light color and feel
Use a 2700K-3000K warm white bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like glow. The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare and creating a vintage ambiance. Dimmable with compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.

Overall dimensions: 11.75 inches wide, 17.62 inches high, with a 16-inch extension from the wall. Backplate is 4.5 x 7.88 inches. Suitable for walls with standard stud spacing.
